.The game is a bit short though but it is a still a best buy. There are other half life games but this is the best in my opinion We waited with baited breathe for half life two and this is what we got. Its not bad its just not long enough - sure two players is good and they added new features like climbing ropes and night goggles - ...  Read the complete review

I bought the older version of the Half-Life Generation pack, featuring only Half-Life: Game Of The Year Edition, and Opposing Force (and a mad HL T-shirt). Now you lucky people get Counter-Strike free (but no T-Shirt). Half-Life is a truly amazing FPS. It's involving, and it asks you to let go of your trigger finger and start thinking. The ...  Read the complete review

One of if not the best game i have ever played. Sierra got everything right when making this game. If you are thinking of getting a game this is definatly the one too get! The gameplay is perfect the enemies aren't dumb they attak in groups and hunt you and it makes for a very interesting game. As you travel from zone to zone the ...  Read the complete review

Finally something arrives to add to the single-player experience of Half-Life. It runs alongside the main story of HL but this time it is from the viewpoint of one of the soldiers called Adrian Shephard. You and your squad are sent in to deal with the chaos that has been released in the Black Mesa Research facility. However your plane ...  Read the complete review

Half-life is a great game, and so is opposing force. The two are essentially the same game. I bought it recently for the sake of completeness, and I wasn't disappointed. The software mode kept causing my computer to crash, but in D3D, everything worked fine. There isn't a lot to say about this that hasn't been said ...  Read the complete review

Opposing force is the sequel to HalfLife. It starts you off as one of the soldiers sent to kill Freeman. The begginings good but no-where nearly as good as Halflife's. You're in a plane, and then you crash. Simple, but effective. Then the rest of the game pits you against the aliens that Gordon Freeman fought, and also some ...  Read the complete review

‘Add on disks? Pah. Something strictly for fans. A serious gamer never bothers with such obvious cash-ins. And even if the original is a classic, a mere new disk can’t really expand it.’ Is this how you feel? If it is, do you own a hat? If you do, then I suggest you pop along to the kitchen and cover it in whatever spicy or ...  Read the complete review

Half-life is probably the best PC game of recent years, and it just dosent seem to want to go away. If you buy this add on expecting more of the classic Half-life gameplay, and excellent level design you wont be disapointed. not only do you get all of the greatnes of the previous Half-life experience you also get an abundance of excellent ...  Read the complete review

Most people would expect the expansion for a game to be as good as the game itself. This is not the case with Half Life Opposing Force . The game is much easier making the puzzle look stupid. The puzzle are simalar and things you have to do make it have no relation to Half life itself.Some of the ways to complete the puzzle are so stupid that you ...  Read the complete review

Opposing Forces is one gooood add on for the Half Life.I like the way thas it's scenario interferes with the old Half Life scenario.This time you are one of the soldiers named Shepherd and you have to eliminate Freeman.Some times you see levels from the old Half Life AFTER Freeman had passed (the ending teleporter for example).Or the bridge in ...  Read the complete review

This add-on for one of the best 1st person shooters (Half-Life) is simply a masterpiece. This has taken the game to a new level with using the grate story line of Half-Life and has given us another view of the great story line. The graphics in this are the same as half-life but with a bit of tinkering with the detail. It has given us the ...  Read the complete review

Well I'm a big fan of half-life so I decided to purchase this add-on pack. What a deal! I had played the demo and I was really amazed by the hard work put into this game. The story is based around a corpral who finds himself stranded, alone in the black mesa research facility. His aim... To aliminate Gorden Freeman (This is the ...  Read the complete review

After playing the Classic Half-Life start to finish twice I couldn't resist having a go at Opposing Force. And before I knew it I'd finished it - what a disappointment. Half-Life is huge and engrossing with a multitude of tricky and challenging situations, by comparison Opposing Forces is a breeze. It doesn't involve to ...  Read the complete review

Half Life was amazing, and if you own it, you will be nothing but praising it, well here is a addon that is a must to own as half life itself. This time round you play a soldier who is flown in to help, but before your briefed the helicoptor comes under attack, and you crash land, being the only survivor. You have to carry on the mission to kill ...  Read the complete review

I bought this expansion pack as soon as I could, which meant a three mile walk to the nearest shop with it in stalk, I was so eager. I had been a while in buying the original but that was enough to get me hooked! This game, to the cynic, offers nothing new. More walking around shooting aliens etc. But what i tdoes add is a tremendous ...  Read the complete review

Absolutely fantastic, its the best game I have ever played! It just never gets boring, the storyline and AI make sure of that. It is a huge game, but you never lose interest. Opposing Forces lives up to its predecessor, my favourite weapon is the SAW machine gun. You can't just buy Half-Life and not get the expansion pack. Half-Life is a must ...  Read the complete review

I was looking forward to this from the moment I heard of it's release. Having played and completed Half Life, I was eager for more, and I was looking forward to playing the story through from another perspective, showing Gordon wasn't on his own after all. The introduction of simplistic team members was an excellent idea, utilising ...  Read the complete review
