Half Life 1 (Jewel Case) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Half Life is a great game, completely revolutionized the shooter-on-rails style game. I generally don't like those types of games, because the game play is limited... it's just repetition really... then the enemies get stronger.
So, personally, i get bored with these games if the terrain and environments don't change much, or if there isn't alot of strategizing needed. Shoot-outs are boring to me, because eventually you know you'll get good enough to beat it, it's not really mentally taxing.
Beyond that, it's great. the monsters are great, the story is compelling, the levels are well constructed, the pace is super fast and intense and heart-pounding. I opften had to put it down because it was just too intense, i needed a break.
Way better than HL2 despite the graphical differences.
get it.

Half Life 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Honestly, this updated Platinum edition offers everything you could ever dream of in a first person "shooter" game.
In the edition, you'll get Half-Life, Opposing Force, Team Fortress, Counter-Strike, and Blue Shift. All games are more than worthy of being called classics in their own time. And more specifically, Half-Life, OpFor, and Blue Shift allow you to play individually.
Now, what truly pushes this over the top is the ability to get ONLINE and fight with other human opponents! The online community is thriving. Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Team Fortress, and Opposing Force all allow online play or no sign-up/monthly fees. It's all FREE. There are nearly 1000 Half-Life servers and nearly 30,000 Counter-Strike servers world-wide!!!
As a lover of DOOM, Descent, and Duke Nukem 3D, I thought I had played all the best first-person shooter games (as of 1998). Then I played Half-Life! Since Half-Life 2 has not yet been released this still remains the BEST online Multiplayer First Person Shooter on the market today.
With an NVidia GForce2 and a 1GHz PIII, I am getting between 60-99 FPS (frames per second). The graphics are excellent and the play is smooth.
One warning though with this game: ONCE YOU PLAY IT ONLINE, YOU WILL NEVER EVER HAVE ENOUGH TIME IN YOUR LIFE TO PLAY THIS GAME. It is truly awesome and the Half-Life community is a welcoming one...as well as challenging. The Mod community is thriving as well...there are truly a multitude of Mods.
Simply put: BUY THIS GAME!!! GET CONNECTED!!! THEN PLAY UNTIL YOUR EYEBALLS ROLL BACK IN YOUR HEAD OR YOUR FINGERS FALL OFF.
You will never be sorry for buying this product. I have been playing this game online, every month for nearly 3 years...I have tried other games, but none compared to this one.

Half Life 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is a blast- no way around it. But Steam, Valve's annoying memory hog run in the tray adware copyright protection content delivery application is a constant source of screaming fits. Every time I sit down and I just want to play for 30 minutes or something before work or school, Steam throws an error and refuses to let me into the game, even going so far as to tell me that I do not own the game, or its "unavailable."
Valve is going to have to realize that treating customers like criminals is just bad business, and that Steam has GOT to go.
I can no longer reccomend this game despite it's being so much fun, because at least %50 of the time I try to get in to play it, I am unable for some error.
