Half-Life pioneered many firsts in the genre when it was released in 1998. I highly recommend this game to all audiences.Īs far as immersion goes, you simply couldn't have done any better than Half-Life. In addition, it will run smoothly on nearly any PC setup.

This game does it all and is beautiful-looking to boot.

When in a firefight with Marines, you will feel a rush of adrenaline. When stuck on the alien planet Xen or trying to find signs of life after the initial disaster, you will feel isolated and alone. And the many places you visit along the way are extremely convincing. When you finish Half Life, you will look back on your adventure and truly feel like you have taken a journey. Most important is the atmosphere this game creates. Quick save and quick load are done better than any game to date.

Difficulty level is not a concern you can make it as hard or as easy as you like. There isn't a single point in the game where you wish you could skip ahead to the next area. It doesn't short-change you in length, like most games do these days.

This is, quite simply, the best PC game ever.
