Half-Life is a great shooter with a great story.You play as Gordon Freeman,a scientist at the Black Mesa Research Facility,and you go into a test chamber to conduct a routine experiment,then all hell breaks loose.Now the facility is falling apart,and is infested with aliens from another universe.Later the marines arrive,but they aren't here to save you,they're here to cover up the incident by killing everything that moves.You must escape the facility one way or another,even if that means going to the alien universe.Half-Life is a pretty good shooter,and with the latest patches you get Counter-Strike and Team Fortress Classic,two popular multiplayer mods,Counter-Strike is so popular it was released as a seperate game.If you get bored with all that Half-Life has to offer then check out the variety of mods avilable for it.

    Half-Life places you in the shoes of Dr. Gordon Freeman, a theoretical physicist working for Black Mesa, with a Ph.D. from MIT. When performing an experiment, a rip in the space time continuum occurs and aliens begin pouring into the research facility. It's then up to Freeman to kill them and plug the rip. The fate of those still alive in the Black Mesa research facility, and possibly the Earth itself, is in Freeman's hands.

Good graphics, good storyline, great gameplay. Still one of the greatest shooters out there, period...
