The new technology patented by Valve, Source®, makes possible the intense and real-time game of Half-Life 2. HALF-LIFE sends a shock through the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling. Freeman is involved in the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the evil that unleashed in Black Mesa. In addition to the great storytelling, the game is tons of fun to play. By using scripted sequences instead of cutscenes, Half-Life showed us just how cinematic games could be. The Half-Life Game of the Year Edition includes new multiplayer models and maps as well as Team Fortress Classic, the hugely popular team-based multiplayer game that runs on top of the Half-Life engine. Overall, Half-Life is a wonderfully crafted game that helped push video gaming into the new century. The player takes again the lever of the scientist Gordon Freeman, who is in an Earth infested by aliens, dispossessed of all its resources and in which every time there is less population. Awarded Game of the Year by more than 40 publications, Half-Life has been called a 'Masterpiece of epic proportions.''. All the suspense, the challenges and the emotional charge of the original, coupled with a surprising realism and a great manageability: Half-Life 2 opens the doors to a world in which the presence of the player influences everything that surrounds him, from the physical environment to the behavior and even the emotions of friends and enemies. This was a landmark title and while the original game gets all the credit. When that original game came out it was the kick in the butt my old man needed to bite the bullet and get a new PC.
