      O zamanlar sadece 4 tane duvar arasında gittiğimiz, herhangi bir hikayesi olmayan, cicuv cicuv efektleri ile asker vurduğumuz Duke Nukem veya Wolfenstein tarzı oyunlar vardı. İçlerinde belki bir hikaye barındırıyordu ama, biz anlamıyorduk da olabilir. Half life ilk çıktığında mahalle dedikodularına meze olmuştu. --"Olum bir arkadaş hay layf diye bir oyun oynamış. böle silahlı milahlı üf çok acaip" .. -"Hay layf bisküvi değil mi lan? " ; --" ya öyle yazılmıyor bakarım ben High Life gibi bişi" Gerçekten kendisi bizim yaşantımızı yükseltti. Geldi ve geçti. Megaton'da ki patlamamış nükleer bomba etkisi yarattı. yıl 2026. Hala patlamasını bekliyoruz.

      Her FPS severin mutlaka oynaması gereken başyapıt bir oyun. (Grafik vb. nedenlerden dolayı oynamayanlar Black Mesa'ya bir göz atabilir) Elmas
