Half-Life is bar none the greatest FPS ever created. It has raised the bar in every category save graphics, and the only titles currently in release that can top it in that category are those based on the Unreal Engine (the release of Quake III is liable to change that). No longer are FPS's mindless "Kill everything that moves" frag-fests. Half-Life is completely immersive, totally creepy, and brilliantly designed. As close to perfect as an action title will most likely ever be. This game more than deserves the rating given to it by PC Gamer magazine: Greatest Game Ever Made.
