It's not bad but I was never really into Half-Life. I only ever played snippets so I'm probably not the best person to pass judgement. It looks pretty decent with the visuals cranked but I don't think I'm very far along - I just got my first weapon - a crowbar, Now i'm wandering around a lab somewhere.

Oh man, I freaking adore Half-Life. I rarely think of it when asked to come up with my favorite game or make recommendations, but anytime I think about it or see anything Half-Life related I get a little weak in the knees and feel my girly bits grow a little moist.

It was a perfect blend of exciting and scary. I found the storyline genuinely entertaining and engaging, and can't count the times I nearly wet myself when hearing that little head crab scream come out of nowhere.

So yeah, Half-Life was great, then they went and made Half-Life 2 and made the whole thing even more freaking fantastic! Where do we go from here? How do you make a sequel to a game about a dorky scientist trying to escape an alien infested research facility? Instead of a silly cliched typical half assed sequel, they flash forward many years and show us a future entirely shaped by the events of the first game in which the entire world is now under oppressive alien rule.
