When you start Half-Life you start as a young scientist named Gorden Freeman working for a shady corporation called the Black Mesa. When you arrive by subway to your job location a freak accident happens opening up a portal to another world full of annoying head crabs and huge brutes. You must use the help of your fellow scientist and guards to try to escape to the surface of Black Mesa which at the very end has one of the best endings in any game I have ever played leaving you waiting for Half-Life 2. The game play is much like any other fps but with alot more puzzles that you have to solve to move onto the next level. The graphics in the original are not to great but then with the release of Half-Life2 they have redone the original Half-Life making the same game but with top of the line graphics. The sound is great, so good that at some times i actually jumped because of something, shooting me or trying to "kiss" my head. Not only does Half-Life have a great single-player it also has came up with one the best multiplayer game type ever made. That is of coarse Counter-Strike. I would have to say that this game is the best all around game i have ever played.
