If you havent played the second greatest ...

Valve is the greatest. Because of Half Life's 10 year anniversary today, you can get Half Life for $1 at Steam. Hurry if you dont already have it. Any PC can run it, and it is easily one of the greatest games of all time. You only have a few hours left to get it though, so hurry. If you havent played the second greatest ...

Sorry, that goes to Half Life 2. And thanks for pointing out it was until the 21st (tomorrow). People, get this game, if you have not played it, you dont know what youre missing out on.
I suppose. I remember playing Half Life way back in the day, but never owned it or played through it. I just picked up orange box for about $20 so this will go along nice with it. Don't know when I will have time to play it though
Ah, great game....though I got more enjoyment out of the Opposing Force and Blue Shift expansions.

I doubt it's the second FPS if you compare it with today's standards, but I guess I'll just have to see for myself.

HL IS the greatest FPS ever made, hands down.
It's actually pretty boring now.
Though, for it's time, it was one of the best.

I played HL for the first time a few years ago and yes, it is still some good fun. It doesn;t have all the bells and whistles of newer FPSs, but the atmosphere is awesome and the gameplay is sound.

lol 1$??? they might aswell give it away for free then:Pthat's very cheap. The game is still being sold in stores where I live btw. for %26euro;4,-

[/QUOTE] Then Perfect Dark is the greatest FPS ever to grace gaming, I love HL2 and I agree that its fantastic but I have not seen very many games match Perfect Dark point for point on everything and do it as well, CS is the best multiplayer game ever made imo and HL2 is best single player but HL2 doesnt have it all, PD had it all. This is taking the ''in their respective times'' into consideration.
It is the best FPS ever made imo, but lot of its appeal at the time came from the graphics so not sure how playable it is today. But since it's only $1 to find out, why the hell not?

imo, one of the most overrated games of all time.

[/QUOTE]Nope id have to strongly disagree.PD was a wicked game - was a huge fan of it, but it didnt nearly do as much for the genre, nor was it as good as HL was, especially for its respective time.Besides many things in PD took huge inspiration from other shooters at the time.
