Valve is the greatest. Because of Half Life's 10 year anniversary today, you can get Half Life for $1 at Steam. Hurry if you dont already have it. Any PC can run it, and it is easily one of the greatest games of all time. You only have a few hours left to get it though, so hurry.

I suppose. I remember playing Half Life way back in the day, but never owned it or played through it. I just picked up orange box for about $20 so this will go along nice with it. Don't know when I will have time to play it though

I doubt it's the second FPS if you compare it with today's standards, but I guess I'll just have to see for myself.

Anything looks worse when you compare it to todays standards..The greatest is based on how it was within its time obviously not how it will stack up 20 years later although I'm sure it will still be fun..

It's actually pretty boring now.
Though, for it's time, it was one of the best.

I played HL for the first time a few years ago and yes, it is still some good fun. It doesn;t have all the bells and whistles of newer FPSs, but the atmosphere is awesome and the gameplay is sound.

Well you measure the game also by its respective time, what it achieved, did and how is shaped the genre.

Honestly by all accounts id say it is the greatest shooter to graced gaming.

Then Perfect Dark is the greatest FPS ever to grace gaming, I love HL2 and I agree that its fantastic but I have not seen very many games match Perfect Dark point for point on everything and do it as well, CS is the best multiplayer game ever made imo and HL2 is best single player but HL2 doesnt have it all, PD had it all. This is taking the "in their respective times" into consideration.

It is the best FPS ever made imo, but lot of its appeal at the time came from the graphics so not sure how playable it is today. But since it's only $1 to find out, why the hell not?

Nope id have to strongly disagree.

PD was a wicked game - was a huge fan of it, but it didnt nearly do as much for the genre, nor was it as good as HL was, especially for its respective time.

Besides many things in PD took huge inspiration from other shooters at the time.
