| 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 10***There'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. | labelimagesubject |

| Codename: Gordon | Valve (Nuclearvision) | 2004 | A spoof of Half-Life 2. There's just a minor issue with the game's developers having gone bankcrupt and the official site being replaced by a porn site, link to which is hardcoded into the game. This is why you can't find the game from Steam's official game listings anymore. | labelimageminimize |

However, they fail to realize a simple fact: default movement mode is already [i]running[/i] (this is fairly obvious, which makes me wonder how people manage to miss it). The thing they think is running is literally [i]sprinting[/i] largely accomplished by the aid of the HEV suit (a type of utility power armor) Gordon is wearing. So the sprint expends the same suit energy your flashlight uses. However there is obvious discrepancy in the amount of energy used.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 2000 or XP * 1.2 GHz CPU * 256 MB RAM [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2.4 GHz CPU * 512 MB RAM***Half-Life2: Game of the Year Edition was also published in Israel. While the packaging is in English, the manual and game itself are in Hebrew Valve Software/Vivendi Universal Gameswon the 5th annual (2005) Game developers Choice Awards - Best Writing. Marc Laidlaw was designated in the nomination. From the official site: By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 opens the door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around him, from the physical environment to the behaviors -- even the emotions -- of both friends and enemies. The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people -- people he cares about -- are counting on him.

| Black Mesa | Crowbar Collective | 2020 | [12]***On the game being vaporware: Between 2009 and 2010 the developers ceased to publish notable new information until suddenly resurfacing and releasing part of the game. 2012-09-14 Black Mesa: Source was released, after which the project went on another hiatus and limited communication. 2020-03-06 The final game was released, no longer free and instead fully commercial project.***Notable gameplay related changes from original: * Energy leeches were removed * Rails no longer electrocute * Rocket test chamber tentacles can't be sneaked around when they're smashing on the same floor simply because of too wildly random swiveling (that is: distractions are much more mandatory) * On the rails no longer has player changing where the rails lead * Gauss gun ricochets off the walls instead of penetrating them * Scientists no longer heal Freeman * Alien grunts are no longer immune to weapons fire at armored parts of their body Other notable changes: * Certain level segments have been omitted or streamlined, making levels shorter. * Certain level segments have been made to make actual sense (or at least some, unlike the complete lack of seen in the original) * Weapons are received in different order and in somewhat different places than in the original***Coop was officially dropped on 2010-03-17, stated reason was technical difficulties.***Black Mesa (formerly Black Mesa: Source) is a Half-Life 2 total conversion remaking VALVe Software's award-winning PC game, Half-Life. Utilizing the Source engine, Black Mesa will reintroduce the player as Doctor Gordon Freeman, along with the original cast of memorable characters and environments seen in Half-Life. Black Mesa was built and founded on the basis that Half-Life: Source was inadequate as the Source engine port of Half-Life, regardless of the intentions of VALVe Software. As such, Black Mesa was founded to fully reconstruct the Half-Life universe utilizing Source to its fullest potential in terms of art detail, level sizes and code features. This total conversion will not require Half-Life: Source to play - only a copy of any Source Engine game installed on Steam. [b]The Environment[/b] Black Mesa is set in and around the Black Mesa Research Facility as depicted in the original Half-Life game. The research facility is a former Cold War missile complex based in New Mexico, and features a diverse array of locations ranging from abandoned rocket testing silos to modern administrative offices, from underground physics laboratories to a full-scale hydroelectric dam. The game continues beyond, into an inter-dimensional border world known as Xen. What will set Black Mesa apart from other Source engine modifications in development is the attention to environment detail. Levels will be faithful to the original Half-Life concept and built from scratch, yet will feature higher-resolution textures, detailed world models, and a higher quality of audio ambience courtesy of the Source engines soundscape system. The end goal of such attention to detail is an immersive single-player environment, which will engross the player in a story that is yet to be matched by any other first-person shooter. [b]Features[/b] Black Mesa has many features, several of which are still in planning or being tested. Below are a few of the larger and more distinctive features of Black Mesa: * Detailed and interactive environments based on the original Half-Life game, including reconstructed multiplayer maps; * Single-player, co-operative and deathmatch modes planned; * Original music score by Joel Nielsen; * Artificial intelligence that will dynamically think, react and interact with and about their environment; * Normal, specular and parallax mapping utilized on world surfaces and models where applicable; * A priority on gameplay and immersion factors such as ambience, logical functionality and interactivity. [b]Game Modes[/b] Black Mesa will feature three game modes designed to provide a high replayability factor. Single-player * Assuming the role of Dr. Gordon Freeman you will experience an immersive, story-driven mode of play. A world where around every corner a new threat or situation presents itself, provoking thought and interaction between you and your world. Relying on more than just combat to survive, your wits and intelligence will become strong allies in your fight for survival. Environments will be interactive, rich with detail, fully ambient and NPC characters will react to these environments and your actions therein. A world driven by story, locations conquered by wit, enemies matched with firepower. Welcome to Black Mesa. Run, think, shoot, live, Source. Co-operative * Black Mesa co-op will allow players to not only recruit the assistance of security guards and scientists, but also that of your friends! Share the single-player experience by battling through Black Mesa together. Players will be able to wage battles, travel corridors and emerge victorious over the enemies and escape the confines of the Black Mesa Research Facility. Deathmatch * The adrenaline pumping, bullet dodging, rockets-flying, big-red-button riddled deathmatch is back in classic Half-Life style, featuring graphically enhanced multiplayer maps and the full lineup of weapons. You'll find yourself having more fun blowing away your friends than, well, anything. [Black Mesa Team]***[media=youtube]G32_q_3es8E[/media] [spoiler= ; ][/spoiler] | labelimagesubject |
