PCs and games are not a great mix. Switching on a PC, 3 things come to mind: work, the internet and "when is it going to crash?" Without a doubt, games playing is best left to consoles.

Half –life a classic for the pc, this game was awarded one of the best games award in December 1998. Half-life is now being released on the Playstation 2 making the best use of the PS2 engine. Before on the PC the Half-life engine used for the graphics wasn’t that good, and many other games such as quake and unreal all had better graphics engine to run the game. Despite having a bad engine, it was still one of the best games on the PC around and is still highly popular amongst many people, especially with all the different MODS (Modifications) for the game such as CS (Counter-Strike), TFC (Team Fortress Classic) DoD (Day of Defeat) and many more. ...  Read the complete review
