Half-Life	Sierra On-Line (Valve)	1998	[100]* [12]* [84]*Half-Life Deathmatch: Source is a recreation of the first multiplayer game set in the Half-Life universe. Features all the classic weapons and most-played maps, now running on the Source engine. (Source standalone multiplayer/deathmatch mode)Winner of over 50 Game of the Year awards, Half-Life set new standards for action games when it was released in 1998. Half-Life: Source is a digitally remastered version of the critically acclaimed and best selling PC game, enhanced via Source technology to include physics simulation, enhanced effects, and more. (Source Remake Half-Life)Named Game of the Year by over 50 publications, Valve's debut title blends action and adventure with award-winning technology to create a frighteningly realistic world where players must think to survive. Also includes an exciting multiplayer mode that allows you to play against friends and enemies around the world. (GoldSrc Half-Life)* [53]*The gifted son of the love triangle between Wolf3, Doom and Quake. Having a Steam account without Half-Life is as absurd as a Spanish omelet without eggs or potatoes. Absolutely essential, recommended therapy against claustrophobia, arachnophobia, boredom and addiction to Wolverine clone shooters. It is recommended not to touch the microwave. Valve's greatest masterpiece to date. 10 out of 10There's two versions of this game (also of Blue Shift and Opposing Force) out, one uses the original GoldSrc engine, and another which was ported to the newer Source engine with very few (barely notable) changes to how the game appears or works.*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 95, 98 or NT4 * 133 MHz Pentium CPU * 24 MB RAM * Mouse * Keyboard***Listed as Game of the Year by nearly all (if not all) of the major gaming publications, this first person shooter is excellently done. From the gripping story, to the wonderfully scripted AI, this game will have even hard core gamers coming back for more. Many people complain about the late game "jumping torture" areas, but all in all this is a wonderfully designed game that raises the bar for all games to come. Also, it offers a graphics and AI engine that is hugely editable, allowing a vast number of Single Player and Multiplayer mods. To date, no game has matched its appeal or sales figures: and still it tops nearly every list of games.
Half-Life: Opposing Force	Sierra On-Line (Gearbox Software)	1999	¿Quieres ser un capullo de verde en el universo del Half-Life? Este es tu juego. Mejora los elementos del Half-Life original, ante el cual pierde sólo por un argumento algo más simple. P.S.: Como curiosidad comentaré que es uno de los primeros juegos de los que tengo recuerdos (jugando mis tíos segundos mientras yo miraba) Descubrirlo lustros más tarde fue una sensación de dejá vu acongojante. 8 de 10*[b]anatomic damage[/b] — limited to headshots causing more damage and the brute(?) being damageable only when shot at unarmored parts. widescreen, win2k, winxp — possibly only in the Steam distribution.Return to the Black Mesa Research Facility as one of the military specialists assigned to eliminate Gordon Freeman. Experience an entirely new episode of single player action. Meet fierce alien opponents, and experiment with new weaponry. Named 'Game of the Year' by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences. [Valve?]*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 95, 98 or NT4 * 133 MHz Pentium CPU * 24 MB RAM * 200 MB HD space * Mouse * Keyboard [b]Recommended:[/b] * 166 MHz Pentium CPU * 32 MB RAM***As a soldier sent in to eliminate Gordon Freeman, you are separated from your base unit and discover a new alien race amidst the chaos. It's quickly revealed that these highly advanced alien life forms descended upon Earth to pillage the planet from the Black Mesa facility when Gordon Freeman transported to the border world of Xen. Although you were originally sent into Black Mesa to silence Freeman and his fellow scientists in the facility, you now find yourself stranded and confused--battling fierce new alien creatures and a variety of other foes in an effort to save your own life.

Counter-Strike	Havas Interactive (CS Team)	2000	El CS clásico, el principal culpable del boom de los multijugadores. CS es sinónimo de calidad y entretenimiento multijugador. Clásico imprescindible (o una de sus secuelas en su lugar) 8 de 10
Gunman Chronicles	Havas Interactive (Rewolf Software)	2000	IT'S HIGH NOON IN DEEP SPACE It's been five years since you took control of the Gunmen, after the General fell in battle fighting the alien Xenomes. Now the Xenomes are back in force, but this time there's a sinister presence controlling them. The infestation has taken a new, deadlier form and they're wiping out your forces. You're on your own, facing a gang of genetically-engineered aliens and the desperados controlling them. Luckily you've brought your guns... Lots of them. * An all-new gripping tale of betrayal and revenge: over 40 hours of action-packed gameplay. * Fource immense and unique worlds to pacify * Extensive weapon customisation options - up to 32 configurations per weapon * Dozens of different genetically-modified mutants track you with fiendish intelligence * Intense multiplayer action with up to 32 gunmen via LAN or the Internet. [Box blurb]*Latest version: retail?[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4 or 2000 * 233 MHz CPU * 32 MB RAM * 640x480x16 display * 400 MB HD space Note: NT4 was not mentioned in the game box, only in the included readme file.***Complete conversion based on the Half-Life engine. Not as popular as the original and lacked its plot, but made up for it with original weapons and superb action sequences.
Half-Life: Blue Shift	Sierra On-Line (Gearbox Software)	2001	Made by Gearbox Software and originally released in 2001 as an add-on to Half-Life, Blue Shift is a return to the Black Mesa Research Facility in which you play as Barney Calhoun, the security guard sidekick who helped Gordon out of so many sticky situations. [Steam Store]*Demuestra que por lo menos había un segurata decente en Black Mesa, y recuerda: tu objetivo vital es sobrevivir para poder regalar palancas en el futuro. Similar al Half-Life original desde otro punto de vista, peor que el Opossing Force. No es mal juego, pero no está a la altura de los gigantes del mundo HL. 6 de 10*Comes with "High-Definition Pack" that can be applied to Opposing Force and original Half-Life to improve the graphics. The pack was supposedly made available for free even for those who didn't buy Blue Shift.
The Specialists	author	2002	90s action movie inspired multiplayer shooter with obvious references to things like The Matrix (has the trench coats, blurry dodges and well as the "famous" lobby scene).
James Bond 007: NightFire	Electronic Arts (Gearbox Software)	2002	The ultimate secret agent is back in his most dangerous adventure yet in James Bond 007: NightFire. Explore new heights and depths like never before--infiltrate towering skyscrapers, take on treacherous underwater missions, and maneuver your sleek Aston Martin V12 Vanquish through the streets of Tokyo, while turning on the Bond charm with glamorous (and sometimes deadly) Bond women. New state-of-the-art upgradable gadgets and weapons, plus original missions including zero-gravity assignments, will leave you shaken... and stirred.
Day of Defeat	Activision (Valve)	2003	Uno de los principales culpables junto a Call of Duty de la moda de la ambientación en la IIª Guerra Mundial. Especialmente recomendable para los que sentimos nostalgia por los juegos que estaban basados más en la habilidad y el conocimiento de las virtudes y defectos del rival que los actuales FPS. Clásico de cibercafé. 6 de 10.
Counter-Strike: Condition Zero	Valve (Gearbox Software;Ritual Entertainment;Turtle Rock Studios)	2004	Una remodelación del Counter-Strike original, con algunas pantallas nuevas y otras retocadas, esta versión añade un modo campaña bastante soso (el modo campaña del Deleted Scenes es bastante mejor, recuerda algo a la saga Delta Force) y el infame escudo (preferido por anti-setas como servidor) Como buen CS, un multijugador sin rodeos y de jugabilidad muy directa, perfecto para pachangas. Counter-Strike es una saga imprescindible, cual/es de sus entregas prefieres es cosa tuya. 8 de 10
