So I’ve been playing the original Half-Life game along with Opposing Force and Blue Shift for the story. Now these games came out around 1998. But wow, now I know why it has received so many awards. It has a great story and the player can see the developer creativity in this game. The story of Half-Life is about playing the role of a recently graduated theoretical physicist known as Gordon Freeman who just joined the team of a top secret underground research facility known as Black Mesa. Their teleportation device has gone awry and brought an alien world and Earth close together. Now Freeman must fight his way out of Black Mesa against dangerous aliens and the U.S. army trying to pull off a government cover-up.

Half-Life as pulled off some amazing feats and set a high bar for games following it. Opposing Force is played from the perspective of Special Forces, colonel Adrian Shephard. And Blue Shift is played from the perspective of security guard, Barney Coulhoun. These games were made by a third party, but they are still a great play. Even though these are more than 10 years old, I recommend that any gamer play them.
