First of all what is half-life
So half-life is a game where the scientists are doing experiments in a place called black mesa.
The caracter you play is called Gorden Freeman one of the lead scientists and the 1st game in the series (half-life 1) starts of with a long tram ride through black mesa and eventualy leads to your HEV suit ( Hazardous EnVironments often referd to as "the hazard suit") and the into the test chamber where after the experiment you participate in goes wrong and all hell breaks loose. After that you have to escape from black mesa by fighting your way through the hourds of aliens and soldiers.
There are various other games that are directly related to Half-Life 1:
Half-Life : Blue shift
Half-Life : Opposing force
Half-Life : Uplink
Half-Life : Decay
Half-Life : Blue shift
In this version of the game you get to p[lay as the security gaurd called Barney Calhoun where it starts just like Half-Life 1 in a tram then you get off at the security guards station where you have forgoten your keys so you must wait for the guard behind the door to open the malfunctioning door, you also get to see Gordon Freeman go past in his tram just like you get to go past Barney when playing as Gordon. This version of the game alows you to play the game from a difrent point of view.
Half-Life : Opposing force
As the name may sugest you are on the oposit side there for you are playing ass a "grunt" called caporal Adrian Shepard. In this version just like Blue shift you get to view the game from yet another point of view where you start off in a transport helicopter also know as a "VTOL" (Vertical Take Off and Landing) where you get shot down by aliens and you are the soul survivor from your transport. and then must escape from the black mesa complex and surounding alien infested land, with the help of felow soldiers.
Half-Life : Uplink
I have not played this version of the game but from what i have read you play as Gordon yet again in a chapter that was remouved from the game wich takes place 48 hours after the explosion in the test chamber.
Half-Life : Decay
I have not played this version either and from what i have read it is a CO-OP game of the events in black mesa where you play as 2 doctors/scientists called Gina Cross and Colette Green.
There are other spin offs of the game that some have indirect links to the original but others don't, the 2 that i remember are:
Redeption, where you are in an amusement park where ther were aliens in cages (just like a zoo) that have escaped captivity.
USS Darkstar, you are in a vast reserch space ship that has been invaded by the aliens.
Now as a gamer i find that this game has a creat "creativity" about it and also a multiplayer mode for most of them, but also this game is favorit for me personaly becaus my father introduced me to it when i was about 5 and i am still playing it now nearly 11 years later so for a rating i will give it 9/10 for its great gameplay and graphics (well they were nearly the best graphics when the game first came out).
My next review now is going to be Half-Live 2 and all the DLC's and episods that folow ( EP 1 and EP 2)
thanks for reading and remember to let me know about your requests.
