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.

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.

Day of Defeat: Source Valve2005Pues viene a ser la versión remodelada de uno de los mejores multijugadores basados en la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Podríamos decir que junto a los primeros Call of Duty representa la versión más arcade y simple de esta ambientación, teniendo en el extremo opuesto juegos como el Red Orchestra.

Es un gran juego, aunque se ve opacado por su primo Counter Strike.

Half-Life 2: Episode One  Sierra (Valve)2006Aunque es el más flojo de la pseudotetralogía de HL2, añade algunos retos interesantes y es imprescindible para jugar al genial Episodio 2. Algo breve pero muy interesante.

7 de 10***The story continues in [game=#157905]Episode Two[/game], and should later end with Episode Three when Valve manages to make it. Effectively this is the first part of the stand-alone expansion/sequel Half-Life 2 Episodic trilogy.***Half-Life 2: Episode One is the first in a series of new adventures created by Valve that extend the [game=Half-Life 2]Half-Life 2[/game] single player experience. It details the aftermath of Half Life 2 and launches a journey beyond City 17.

Stepping into the hazard suit of Dr. Gordon Freeman, you face the immediate repercussions of your actions in City 17 and the Citadel. Rejoin Alyx Vance and her robot, Dog, to once again aid the human resistance in their desperate battle against the totalitarian alien menace of the Combine.

Episode One exposes Alyx's combat skills and knowledge of City 17. Battle side-by-side with her through Valve's first episodic game, a four-to-six hour adventure of greater density and detail than non-episodic releases.

The Ship  Outerlight;Blazing Griffin (Outerlight)2006Un juego a medio camino entre una aventura gráfica, un multijugador de acción competitiva y un juego de sigilo (aunque sería más apropiada la palabra discrección), donde todos los jugadores se encuentran en un ciclo donde tienen que acabar con 1 pasajero concreto y a su vez son buscados por otro en particular.
Además lo de cubrir las necesidades (al más puro estilo Sims) y el arma de doble filo que suponen (ponen a tu objetivo en situaciones vulnerables pero también pueden suponer tu final) lo convierten en una experiencia única.

7 de 10***For PC gamers who enjoy multiplayer games with a bit of intelligence, intrigue and ingenuity, The Ship is a murder mystery alternative to traditional FPS multiplayer games. Each player is given a Quarry to kill - and must evade their own Hunter in the process, all set on board a series of 1920s art deco cruise ships.

The Ship is owned by the mysterious Mr X and as one of many 'lucky' recipients of a free ticket you arrive on board The Ship to find there's a catch to your luxury cruise. You are coerced into a brutal Hunt to indulge Mr. X's fantasies, under threat of death for not only yourself, but also your family. Your only chance to save yourself and your family is to play the Hunt and win.

Combining stealthy multiplayer action and a needs system, The Ship is a truly unique gaming experience.

This package includes a tutorial, The Ship Single Player, which introduces you to some gameplay mechanics and storyline, and The Ship Multiplayer where you can hunt and be hunted by other players.
[Steam Store]***Note that the multiplayer and singleplayer parts of this game were sold separately originally, though there are bundles that sell them together.

Portal Valve2007Todavía recuerdo cuando compré la Orange Box: el plan era pasarse los episodios del Half-Life y después probar, por este orden, el nuevo Team Fortress y ese juego sorpresa llamado Portal.

Acabó siendo al revés, este juego (especialmente permanente en las sienes su última cámara de pruebas y los créditos) legendario desde entonces permanece como un favorito, sólo opacado por su aún mejor sucesor.

Y esa voz semihumana tan cariñosa es una de los mejores voces de la historia de los videojuegos, probablemente sólo superada en grimilla por The Master de la saga Fallout.

En definitiva, devolvió a la luz a los juegos de puzzle y lo demás es historia.

9 de 10***[b]undefined elements[/b] - portal creation and especially gameplay based on them (especially the kind in which you must relocate portals midflight).***Aperture Science is part of the Half-Life universe (I think it was mentioned in Episode Two), making this a sort of spin-off from the regular Gordon Freeman alien overlord fighting action. Black Mesa is also mentioned at least twice in Portal itself, as competing research contractor in some presentations and by passing in the ending song.***The game's extremely short (roughly 2 hours for me with initial performance problems, few crashes and several deaths included) but the ending is strangely "rewarding" with the "Still Alive" song sung by GLaDOS.***Portal is a new single player game from Valve. Set in the mysterious Aperture Science Laboratories, Portal has been called one of the most innovative new games on the horizon and will offer gamers hours of unique gameplay.

The game is designed to change the way players approach, manipulate, and surmise the possibilities in a given environment; similar to how Half-Life 2's Gravity Gun innovated new ways to leverage an object in any given situation.

Players must solve physical puzzles and challenges by opening portals to maneuvering objects, and themselves, through space.

Portal is coming in the Fall of 2007 as part of The Orange Box, which also includes Team Fortress 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode Two. The Orange Box will be available for the PC, as well as the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 console systems.

This co-operative action horror FPS takes you and your friends through the cities, swamps and cemeteries of the Deep South, from Savannah to New Orleans across five expansive campaigns.
You'll play as one of four new survivors armed with a wide and devastating array of classic and upgraded weapons. In addition to firearms, you'll also get a chance to take out some aggression on infected with a variety of carnage-creating melee weapons, from chainsaws to axes and even the deadly frying pan.
You'll be putting these weapons to the test against (or playing as in Versus) three horrific and formidable new Special Infected. You'll also encounter five new “uncommon” common infected, including the terrifying Mudmen.
Helping to take L4D's frantic, action-packed gameplay to the next level is AI Director 2.0. This improved Director has the ability to procedurally change the weather you'll fight through and the pathways you'll take, in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match your performance. L4D2 promises a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience every time the game is played, custom-fitted to your style of play.***Más zombies y más pantallas.

This base was known for its intensive research on the alien threat, having produced a number of papers on their behaviour and biological makeup, information the ISAF paid a great deal for. It's unknown whether the attack on this base was caused by the recent presence of a number of recently captured live bugs or whether it was just a random attack.

Dino D-Day  800 North and Digital Ranch2011Day of Defeat + Dinosaurios Nazis = Dino D-Day

Es una premisa simple, pero entretenidísima (sobre todo el Compy con aspiraciones de alcanzar el Valhalla)

La única pena es que existan tan pocos jugadores/servidores.

Divertidísimo, recomendable. Nada que envidiar al DoD.

6 de 10***The year is 1942. Adolf Hitler has succeeded in resurrecting dinosaurs. The reptilian horde has trampled Europe and the Mediterranean. Can nothing stop the Nazi’s dinosaur army?

Dino D-Day is a frantic, action-packed multiplayer game that transports you to a World War II that should have been. You and your friends can battle online choosing to serve the cause of the Allied nations or the Nazis. The Allied side includes six playable characters each with unique weapons and abilities to use in combat. Gun down a Dilophosaur with your trusty M1 Garand, blast a kamikaze pterosaur out of the sky with your Thompson sub-machine gun, or toss out a dead jackrabbit to lure a raptor into a trap.

As an Axis player you will have your choice of three human classes and three dinosaur classes. Ambush your enemy with speed and stealth as the Raptor, mercilessly pound the enemy with a heavy 20mm gun as the Desmatosuchus, rampage through enemy groups as the Dilophosaur or pick up a body and throw it at an enemy for a double kill! Or if you prefer a rifle in your hand, the German soldier classes are the perfect complement to their dinosaur comrades.

You’ve played World War II games before...but have you played a World War II game with dinosaurs?

Key Features:
* Frantic online multiplayer action involving Nazis and Dinosaurs
* 3 playable dinosaur classes: Velociraptor, Dilophosaur, Desmatosuchus.
* 9 playable human classes
* 26 classic World War II weapons and plenty of exciting dinosaur attacks!
* Powered by Valve’s Software’s Source engine – the technology behind such mega-hits as Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Portal, Portal2, Left 4 Dead, and Left 4 Dead 2!

E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy Streum On Studio2011Un juego de acción que parece una versión futurista del barroco de Los Austrias mezclada con elementos orientales, se presenta como una mezcla de FPS clásico con personalización, habilidades, conversaciones e inventario de RPG.
Campaña muy sólida, misiones secundarias variadas que añaden rejugabilidad y un multijugador muy entretenido.
Pena que el interfaz sea algo lento, porque por lo demás es un auténtico juegazo.

8 de 10***Without having played the game, it gives off similar feel to Anachronox, Cybermage and especially Shadowrun (the P&P game, not the botched MP game based on it).

Seems to have some Chinese and Gothic influences in designs.***As a member of the strange secret society E.Y.E, you wake up after a fight in which your fellow teammates were killed. E.Y.E, an armed branch of the Secreta Secretorum is attempting a coup against the all-powerful Federation, a coalition of several worlds and planets that rule with an iron fist.

To complicate matters, E.Y.E itself is plagued with its own internal conflicts between the Jian faction and the Culter faction, to which you belong. Your loyalties are torn between Commander Rimanah, your superior and the chief of the Secreta who is a separatist with an unstoppable ambition, and the "Mentor" your friend and instructor. The "Mentor" tries at all costs to unite the two rival factions. In doing so, you are thrust into the middle of a fratricidal war frought with political conspiracies and quests for power in which different groups and megacorporations are implicated.

These troubles set the stage for an attack by an unknown force bent on destroying humankind.

Key features:
* Multiplayer co-op modes directly influence solo play, and vice-versa. The limits of solo and multiplayer games are finally left behind.
* Psychological and mental trauma management.
* 25 weapons, different shooting modes, dynamic precision, drilling shots, iron sighting, extended zoom.
* Complete hacking system with game play impact
* 9 devastatingly subtle PSI powers.
* More than 20 NPC with non-scripted, fully reactive and efficient AI, endowed with a sense of initiative. Bloody close combat with technical detail. Incredible physical movement realism thanks to Source Engine physics.
* Excellent replayability - primary and secondary missions, dynamic environments, non-linear level progression, and random NPC spawn, type and appearance. Death doesn't penalize players: no need to restart the current mission.
* Open-level gameplay for hours of fun without reloading.

Nuclear Dawn InterWave Studios2011Tiene un sistema de juego a medio caballo entre un Battlefield futurista y un Team Fortress Classic.

Reseñable la figura del comandante, que a diferencia de "equivalentes" en otros juegos actúa casi como si de un juego de estrategia se tratase.

Es muy interesante, especialmente la interdependencia entre clases en el mismo equipo (aunque se puede ir sólo por ahí campeando, el juego favorece la cooperación)

6 de 10***Nuclear Dawn is the first game to offer a full FPS and RTS experience, within a single gameplay model, without crippling or diluting either side of the game.

As a soldier, explore war-torn post-apocalyptic landscapes, modelled on modern cities, and take the fight to your enemies as armoured, assault or stealth infantry, using various weapons across ten distinct load-outs to accomplish your objectives. The first person shooter action in Nuclear Dawn is hard, fast and unforgiving, with weapons that rely on skill and tactics more than on twitch reflexes and map memorization.

Then, take Nuclear Dawn above the action, and play as the commander. Organize your fellow players in squads, and assign them to tactical objectives. Plan the resource routes for your army, and production of your structures for forward deployment. Exploit the terrain and resource point locations to block your enemies’ advance, and crush their plans in an iron fist. Research and implement new technologies to give your soldiers the edge on the battlefield, and set up forward bases to lead the assault on your enemies, with a full complement of defensive and offensive structures to choose from, to build your perfect fortress.

Features
* Two factions: The Empire and the Consortium have completely separate base-building paradigms.

How about Gay Segway "biker" gangs, and a sociopathic cult leader Uncle with nuclear ambitions? Will you give in to your base instincts and fight fire with gasoline?

Pirates, Vikings and Knights II  -2012Pirates, Vikings, and Knights II pits three teams against each other in a struggle for wealth, power and total domination. Whether using the Gunpowder Keg to clear out a territory full of enemies, or the Javelin to pin your dead foes to a wall, you'll find this game both hilarious and exhilarating.
[Steam Store]***¿Que pasaría si alguien se pasase por los mismísimos el rigor histórico y pusiera a vikingos, guerreros medievales y piratas del SXVIII en un juego para darse entre sí?
Pues que saldría un juego tan divertido como este.

Una pena que su desarrollo se haya ralentizado tanto, porque en un comienzo iban a existir muchas más clases. Aún así, los ataques especiales (berserker, triple flecha) o armas como el barril del escaramuzador o el loro del capitán son elementos que hacen de este juego un mod tan alocado como divertido.

Juego muy pachanguero.

7 de 10***Like with many other mods for Source engine, this works with almost any Source engine game released by Valve excluding Portal: First Slice and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch.

Pros:

-No poder investigar en más detalle los pequeños secretos escondidos por todo el mapa.
-Las caídas y la no presencia de guardados lo pueden convertir en muy frustrante.

Two years in the making, the highly anticipated Indie remake of the cult mod Dear Esther arrives on PC. Dear Esther immerses you in a stunningly realised world, a remote and desolate island somewhere in the outer Hebrides. As you step forwards, a voice begins to read fragments of a letter: "Dear Esther..." - and so begins a journey through one of the most original first-person games of recent years. Abandoning traditional gameplay for a pure story-driven experience, Dear Esther fuses it’s beautiful environments with a breathtaking soundtrack to tell a powerful story of love, loss, guilt and redemption.

What is the significance of the aerial -- What happened on the motorway -- is the island real or imagined -- who is Esther and why has she chosen to summon you here? The answers are out there, on the lost beach, the windswept cliffs and buried in the darkness of the tunnels beneath the island... Or then again, they may just not be, after all...

Eso sí, el tutorial es lento y pesado y además debiera ser ignorable, hacerlo obligatorio es un gran fallo para cualquiera que no sea un novato en este tipo de juegos.

Black Mesa  Crowbar Collective2020
[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.
