The Half-Life Effect

This topic is for all related Half-Life material. I love the original Life and HL2 and EP1. HL2 has some of the greatest game mods ever concieved including the ever popular Garry's Mod. I implore you to play this game!

I would load HL2 on, if I had the space. SOme good memories though, of doing massive domino runs with Garrys mod.

I played the orginal half life up until the xen world(think thats what it's called) and it got really shitty after that so i never finished .

ive never played a half life game coz my PC was crap... but now i got an awsome one... so i might try and buy it!

Sourceforts is good as well but it's extremely tough on your processor, mine barely copes when the piece limit is high.

Sourceforts was good for a while but has recently become a bit shite to be honset...

I love the original Half-Life, but I don't think I ever got around to playing any of the expansions let alone the full-on sequel, if and when I upgrade my graphics card the rest of my machine is finally capable of playing it so I will be sure to give it a go at that point.

PARDON MY NECROMANCY BUT...

I was thinking of joining the "Western FPS Bandwagon" and trying out the Half-Life series. Before I begin my purchase I have only one question: Does Half-Life: Source include the content from the expansions, Opposing Force and Blue Shift?

Half-Life: Source is a straight port, lacking any new content or the Blue Shift High Definition pack.

Western FPS Bandwagon? FPS are pretty much all western developed arn\'t they?

Anyway you might want to wait on the BlackMesa mod if your going to play the original.

I suppose spending $2 more to get the original with the expansions, even if they don't use the Source engine, is still good...

Go away captian, you smell.

Half-Life/Valve engine is probably the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Theres a big sale on Half Life stuff on steam. Episode one is like £2.

Garrys mod is amazing...just sayin....

I cannot use any mods, for I play the 'maximum fail version' (console version). They are sweet games, though!

For Maximum failure at Maximum you should play the PS3 version.
