Half Life what a game. Let's talk about the immersion factor, what game has been made in the last few years, that makes you feel like your right there in a lab experiment, that has gone terribly wrong. The telepotation that you experience when everything goes to hell in a hand basket totally rocks. Then there's the aftermath, can anyone say DOOM clone, no way this is much better than doom. The interactivity with the npc's is really cool as well, although I wished the npc's would have followed you better, they always seem to get stuck in a doorway or something, and you have to click the follow button 3 or 4 times just to get them to follow you. However that's a minor nit pick, the real story is just that, the Story in Half Life is deep. There are two different antangonist groups the aliens that have teleported to your world, and the military that's trying to kill you and all the scientists to cover up their mess. Or I almost forgot then there's the G man not sure whether he is pro or con, even by the end your not really sure. Overall this game kicks butt for a first person shooter, we need more fps's like Half Life.
