The best deal on one disc pretty much ever.

This game packs a huge punch in many many ways. Half-life is a great game and makes you want the story to keep going (which it will). The whole game seems to be a strategy shooter. Instead of just running from point A to point B with only the bad guys to get in the way, Half-Life offers a lot of strategy and finding your way, exploring different options with some great enemies to mow through with a variety of weapons including your trusty crow bar. It also introduces a cool gadget called the gravity gun which gives you the ability to pick up pretty much anything to move it or throw it at an enemy. The graphics are amazing, the characters are great (one's pretty hot for a video game chick), and the story is really solid.

Portal is also awesome. You are basically a lab rat going through a maze undergoing problem solving tests to find your way to the next puzzle and eventually try to win your freedom. The one telling you how to do each test and keep you entertained is a computer's voice over the intercom. Definitely a different kind of game, you are armed only with a portal gun, you have to make your own portals to cross impossible obstacles and solve puzzles. I couldn't put it down until I beat it.

Team Fortress is also different but extremely entertaining. You have a selection of 8 or 9 people with different skills and abilities. It was made to look like a cartoon/Toy Story kind of game except when you blow up there are bloody chunks everywhere. This is probably the most team based game ive ever played. If you want to win, everyone has to choose the needed role at the time that they are best suited for like a sniper, engineer, spy (you can disguise yourself as the enemy...AWESOME)...etc. Defense and offense is huge but so addicting.

These games are amazing and I'm surprised they all fit on one disc. Buy this and you will be entertained for more time than you have to play it.
