Summary: Those without Half Life are missing life itself.
Review: This pack contains (arguably)the greatest games ever made: Valve's Half Life series. Regardless of which award winning title you are playing, you are sure to find the stunning graphics, sound, and ingenius AI and gameplay nothing short of outstanding. Four games are in this pack (a good deal) and I cant sum up the compilation anyway but this: ITS GOOD! GET IT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the most enjoyable bames ever made.
Review: First there was Half-Life, a game released by Valve Software back in November 1998, and it was good, Then came Team Fortress, the multiplayer MOD add-on, and Opposing Forces; they were also good. Half-Life: Game of The Year Edition soon followed as did the Adrenaline Pack and Counter Strike. And now Sierra brings to the masses Half-life: Platinum Edititon, and it is terrific.

Although Team Fortress and Counter Strike are availabe for download this is still an excellent package that belongs on any first-shooter aficionado's shelf. The complete package contains Half-Life: Game Of The Year Edition, Opposing Forces, Team Fortress, and Counter Strike. To state that Half-Life is a brilliant game is like stating that the sun shines brightly in space. You have to own this game to appreciate it.

System requirements are a Pentium 133 with a 3D accelerator card as an option. The game can be run in software but I've always run it with acceleration. EAX and A3D are also supported for 3D sound as well.

Half-Life: Platinum Edition is well worh the dollars and is a perfect introduction to the Black Mesa universe.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: Half-Life is by far one of the best games ever created. Counter-Strike (one of the m0ds included with the game) has more than 2.5 times the amount of people playing Unreal Tourney, Quake III, and Quake Arena....combined.

This game is a great gift, and will provide years of enjoyment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME, GREAT, FABULOUS...AN DID I MENTION AWESOME???
Review: THIS GAME ROCKS!!! PLUS THIS PLATINUM EDITION GIVES U ALL THE HALF-LIFE GAMES THAT ARE OUT....INCLUDES: HALF-LIFE GAME OF YEAR EDITION, HALF-LIFE: OPPOSING FORCE, HALF-LIFE COUNTER STRIKE, AND TEAM FORTRESS CLASSIC! Now some people are saying "why buy", when u can get Counter strike and TFC for free of the internet by downloading them. Well,downloading them would be nice but....some of us dont have DSL or Cable....the TFC download is HUGE it wouldve taken me hours to get it all, and also sometimes there are huge glitches in the game when u download it off the internet. thats why i never download demos or games off the internet anymore. But anyway...all in all this is a great buy, so if you cant download them, or dont want to BECAUSE ITS A CHEAP RIPOFF!! LoL na im just playing....just buy the !@#$%^ game, u wont be dissapointed. It combines the gore and mayhem of Quake and Unreal and the Strategicness of games like Delta Force and silent scope! well, cya guys later...dont forget to buy this game

Summary: Good, but not in this version
Review: This is probably the best game that I have ever played. It has everything from action to puzzle solving, to a scare factor that is like no other game that I have ever seen. The AI is nothing short of incredible, and is hauntingly spooky the farther along that you progress in the game. This game also has highly detailed backgrounds ranging from a missle launch site to a huge (and I mean huge, this game is probably the largest that I have played also) Facility to an Alien planet. All of these levels are intertwined very well, and this is probably the game that "proved" to everyone that first-person-shooters can have stories too. The story is a great one, turning the character that you play as into a hero. The game is very addicting, and is a lot of fun to play. The only problem that I have with it is the way that Sierra created this version, which makes you pay for products that you do not have to. This product includes, Half Life, Opposing Force, Team Fortress Classic, and Counter Strike. The thing is, that you are able to download both counter strike and team fortress classic right of the internet(with team fortress classic included in the patch available on the actual Sierra main site) My advice is to buy the Game of the Year edition(which includes Half Life and Opposing Force, and then just download the other two games for free, saving $...!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great game but save some $
Review: Unless you really want to play Op Force, all of this can be yours for less. Buy the plain orange box of 1/2 life and download for free all of the mods. Counter Strike started as a free mod and remains so. ONLY Llamas pay $ for CS.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not a Gamer
Review: Once you learn the controls, this game can get pretty wild. If you have trouble playing checkers on a computer, stay away. Half Life itself is incredible,but once on multiplayer,(LAN) if you're a little slow, you're toast. Some of the competitor's, let's say, I wouldn't want to meet in an alley. But..excellent game. Congrats to Sierra..!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's all here!!!
Review: You have everything to keep you busy for months maybe years.

4 CDs including:

-Half-Life - The basic game, it is an instant classic. A must have for every gamer!!!

-Half-Life: Opposing Force - You get to play as the guys who were trying to hunt you down in half-life. Plus tons of new weapons and awesome multiplay

-Team Fortess Classic - A fun Multiplayer game that is based on the half-life engine. You can select your role (Sniper, Engineer, Soldier...) which each have their seperate weapons and skills.

-Counter Stike - In my Opinion, the best game in this package. You get Counter-Strike plus several awesome mods (Firearms, wanted...) In Counter Strike you chose your role (Terrorist or Counter-Terrorist) your goal is to carry out a variety of tasks like rescue hostages (CT) bomb a target (Terrorist)... You earn money for each kill and for each round you win (there is a smaller cash award to the loser so he can buy more weapons) with this money you have to buy gear and weapons. Like, if you have $3000 you can buy an AK-47 ($2500) and have money for a few magazines (AMMO) but you wouldn't have enough left for kevlar (bullet proof vest) but you can buy an MP5 ($1500) and have enough money left for kevlar but have less firepower. So there is a strategical aspect to this game.

All in all, I would recommend this to everyone interesting in Computer games. This also makes a great gift (I know I would love to receive this if I didn't have it). So if you miss out on this package. you are missing out on one of the greatest game packages in History.

It's all here and worth every penny.
