Save 100% on Half-Life 2 on Steam
1998. HALF-LIFE sends a shock through the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling. Valve's debut title wins more than 50 game-of-the-year awards on its way to being named "Best PC Game Ever" by...
The original HL, Opposing Force & Blue Shift are all on sale 85-90% so it's about a buck each. Half-Life 1: Source is not, oddly enough.
GoldSource HL is superior to HL: Source anyway. They took the gibs away.
Black Mesa sounds like the modern HL to go for anyways.
It's a nice game, but the original has its charm.
I played original HL1 for the 1st time a few yrs ago (I had tried playing it long ago but got stuck early on and stopped) and honestly I found it to be extremely overrated.
Will give HL2 a chance at some point though.
