Half-Life is more than just a game, it is a legacy and a landmark in first person shooters. Say what you want about the Doom Marine or the Quake Ranger, but they are both rather inert individuals stuck in a perpetual state of bedlam that serves to satiate the most primitive part of the brain. Enter Gordon Freeman, a selective mute and slightly deranged scientist embarking on an extraplanar adventure to save the world from an alien threat as well as a government conspiracy, all while clobbering head crabs with a crowbar.

The excellent first person gameplay is set in a clandestine laboratory in a vaguely “The Mist” inspired military research facility, complete with a built-in tram for expedient transportation. On your way to unravel the mystery of the alien invaders you collect a rather extravagant arsenal of weapons that ranges from shotguns and guided rockets to alien bio-guns that shoot extraterrestrial wasps or little friendly snarks to perfect the mutilation of the opposition. The campaign is fantastic and holds up to this day, even if the later parts have some questionable areas that remain a challenge to those among us with perpetually bad timing..

I am aware that nothing I write will ever triumph over the legacy that this game carries on its broad and muscular shoulders, so I will just finish with a short conclusion.

Conclusion: Half-Life might have aged a bit graphically but it is still a fantastic game that has withstood the test of time, and you can’t help but admire the audacity of game whose main premise is that a nerd in a hazmat suit is outgunning heavily armed marines and alien shocktroopers..
