ZOMG STFU HEADCRAB HATS!

That is beyond awesome, I'm sorry.

They do have one downside though... costs $30USD :pop:

If they were closer to like $10 or less I would definitely buy one. Oh well, maybe they'll be cheaper in the future.

Aye it does. Definitely the best single player fps ever made. I think is STILL has the record for sheer amount of goty awards. Excellent combination of puzzle, action, and story. Do you have steam? The steam store has half life anthology (hl1, hl:blue shift, hl:opposing force, and team fortress classic) for $15USD. Or if you're lucky you might find an old boxed version of half life in a videogames store for like $5 or something. Also has a good multiplayer and team fortress is a good multiplayer game too.

Half life 2 should run on your system with the lower settings.

It was just as good as the first. Better perhaps. The puzzles and weapons were much more varied. There's even a level where you get to take over a combine base with an army of giant ants!

It's best to play them in order of course, so go hl1 first.

I have HL1 (got it used for 5 bucks 2 years ago) but never got around to playing it. I played for a little while, it was kinda freaky. Is it actually any good?

To me, it is one of the best game series for the PC (right up there with Halo

). Not only is the storyline one of the best, but it also gets players to think instead of point, shoot, and repeat. Also, Half Life 1 has countless amounts of mods for it (single and multiplayer, the best single player one by far is They Hunger), and Half Life 2 has a fast growing mod community as well, but the mods take longer to come out with. Also, you have the Source SDK for making mods, maps, animations, and other stuff.

I would have probably never got interested in the first Half Life again after I played it 8 years ago, if I hadn't been fooling around with the CD key on my old Half Life case (I had lost the CD somewhere...) and it gave me a platinum edition for the key

. Though I probably would have played Half Life 2 eventually.

When I am on my gaming comp at my dad's, you will probably see me on the Zombie Panic or BrainBread mod, nick is Floodkiller.

I agree that Half-Life 2 is probably one of the greatest games.

And the good thing is that you don't need a top-of-the-line computer to run it or anything.

i have been pondering buying it sometimes, but i never got the money at that time, i may get it at some point this winter

Yay blank page!

hmm, yeah a pIII might not make it for half life 2. Half life 1 runs on anything though.

If you have any consoles, there's a console version of hl2 and stuff.

HL1 is a fun, challenging game and well worth playing through. Opposing Force (the add-on game where you play as the military dudes against gordon) is pretty fun too. And yeah, there's a ridiculous amount of mods and stuff for it.

Personally I prefer half life series over halo series. I played through halo 1 once, but it seemed kinda easy (they shoulda made legendary a lot harder imo). The flood is an incredibly obvious ripoff of head crabs though, that bothered me.

Halo doesn't have much mods either (being mainly a console game). Halo also lacks puzzles, it's all just run in and shoot stuff. Multiplayer halo is pretty good though... but half life multiplayer is pretty good too, and it also comes with counter strike... which is better. :]

@graywolf: omg the source engine is GENIUS. I still can't believe they managed to get games that look as good as half life 2 run on old skool computers. Not only that, but the source engine is still being used to make next gen games. (re-vamped of course, with hdr, even better physics, and other fancy stuff) HL2:EP2 and Dark Messiah for examples... When I finish college if I go into the game devving business, my goal is to make an engine that beats source. >:] All shall ph33r it.
