Pros: Ridiculously short, nothing new, stupid grunts Cons: Some new sounds. Yay.
Half-Life is about three years old now, and still this all-time classic has excellent sales figures. Valve and Sierra know all about this, of course, and bury us in spin-offs and company. Some of these are actually worth buying, but what they...
Pros: Great Graphics. Excellent detail. Believable environment. Good, mindless fun. Opposing Force a free bonus Cons: A bit repetitive. No blood. No cosmetic damage possible (bullet-holes in walls)
Here is a day I thought would never come. Ever since the days of Doom I have been an avid hater of First Person Shooter (FPS) games. Sure, they were fun to pick up once and a while for a quick 15 minute bash with your mates, but the single player...
Pros: Improved graphics, great gameplay, Opposing Force included for free. Cons: No multiplayer gaming, very short

Pros: Updated graphics, new areas to go through. Cons: Short gameplay, dissapointing plot, bad ending.
When I first read that Half-Life Blueshift was coming out for Dreamcast, I was praying that it would come out for the PC. I am a very big fan of the Half-Life serious, so I was very excited when I found out that BlueShift was coming out for the PC. I...
Pros: Installation is pretty easy and secure! Whoopee-doo! Cons: Short, boring, easy, nothing new... all in a $30 promise! YAY!
Yes, the greatest action game that ever lived has planted its seeds. Half-life, the award winning PC Game First Person shooter about a science teleportation experiment gone wrong (most likely because one of them nutty scientists spilled their...
Pros: Comes with a full, standalone copy of Opposing Force and the high definition pack. Cons: Blue Shift itself is rather short and uninteresting, no new weapons.

Pros: Playing on the original brilliant Half-Life engine, playing an alternate perspective, High-Definition expansion Cons: Lasts slightly longer than a demo
Every PC gamer knows that, respectively, Half-Life changed the way first-person shooters are inspired today. From Sierra and Valve's outstanding engine, Half-Life is one engine that arguably has not been overcome, even with the advanced technology of...
Pros: Graphics, Sound Cons: Nothing Really New To Talk About
Ever had one of those bad days where everything seemed to go wrong? How would you like it if aliens decided to take over the area in which you were the security over, and you had to go fix ALL the problems by yourself. Well that is what it is like in...
Pros: Very Detailed. New Models. Opposing Force Free. Exciting. Cons: Short. Somewhat Boring. Easy.
I am a true Half-Life player that was very disappointed when I played Blue Shift. Sure, the gameplay was great and it had lots of new models (not to mention Opposing Force free) but it wasn't that long and deep as expected.
Pros: Great Graphics...Good Sound. Cons: Gameplay sucks...Not enough thrill for a Half-Life fanatic...Bad value....Controls suck.
Half-Life: Blue Shift is a disappointing addition to the Half Life series. The lack of new features and the shortness of the game make Blue Shift seem more like an add-on level than a legitimate sequel. The graphics upgrade package and the inclusion of...
Pros: Great graphics, great weapons, high framerate Cons: Extremely short, not enough story
Half-Life
I still remember the day I bought Half-Life. Even after high recommendations from a friend I was still skeptical. However, five minutes into the game I was blown away!
