Summary: What they don't tell you...
Review: OK, so this Adrenaline pack comes with 3 cool games right? Not really. You get Half-Life (the hands-down game of the century, but also available by itself for considerably less $$$), Team Fortress (an add-in that is freely downloadable from the Sierra website!), and the very mediocre expansion pack Opposing Forces. This is not worth the money. Instead just buy Half-Life, get the free add-ins, skip O.F. and play the other good free add-ins: Counter-Strike and Action Half-Life.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good pack.
Review: These games are extremley fun to play and the plot(s) are very well thought out. When I heard there were no cutscenes for the game I was a little dissapointed. But instead you play the whole story! From the beginning walking through the Black Mesa Research Facility, annoying scientests, to the end when the experiment gone comletly wrong comes to an end for you. That is basically the normal Half-Life. Half-Life:Opposing Force is the expansion. It is well thought out, the action starts earlier, but it's a shorter game, which is a little dissapointing, but commanding the marines you once fought is very exciting. Team Fortress, which is multiplayer, is pretty good, until you find some other versions of Half-Life multiplayer. The graphics are not very good, the gameplay gets boring ,and there is usually not enough blood.(hehe). You'd think the great games and makers would be able to make a more succseful multiplayer version. And they have! Don't waste to much time on Team Fortress, get Counterstrike, which is very good. But I'm not supposed to be reveiwing that. Mainly I recommend this pack, but Team Fortress is a major dissapointment.

Summary: Crack-Life
Review: This is the best 3D-Shooter I have ever played. I've been playing this style of game since wolfenstein 3d, and I have never played one as much as I have played Half-Life. It is two years old and I still play it more than any other game I have. It has its faults, but none of them interfere with the actual gameplay. What makes this game so much better than all the rest is the amount of MODs or modifications that exist. For those of you who don't know, Programmers of 3D shooters often release the code for their games so that people who play the game can make modifications and add-ons for the original. Half-Life has 2 of the most popular 3D shooter MODs. Team Fortress and Counter-Strike are the two most evil things that have ever existed on the planet. If you have never spent a beautful summer month entirely indoors, and you buy this game, expect not to talk to your friends in person for a while. WARNING! This game has addictive properties and will call you when you are in your bed, when you are at work, when you are on vacation.

Summary: Best Pack in the World!!
Review: This will keep you glued to the computer screen. There's just something about this game that keeps your interest. Perhaps it's the feeling that you run threw one, continueous world. The fact that there is actually a storyline that you can fallow threw until the end. The "what will happen next" feeling really keeps you going in this game. Unlike it's other shoot-em-up counterparts (Quake, for instance), this will keep your interest because you aren't playing levels, your playing a world.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No wonder it was game of the year!

Summary: This Game Rocks The House Down
Review: When i bought this game I wasn't expecting it to be that great. I bought it cause of a friend who told me it would be good. When I played it it was awesome. The graphics were great. It was blood 'o' rama. (if you like that sort of thing , which i do) When you start out you are a player looking to save the world from villans who came from a test lab experiment. It is great but can be freaky (makes you jump) sometimes (when you play in the dark with headphones on fairly loud. I recommend playing like that.).But over all i gave this 5 stars because of the intense playing and the great graphics!!!

Summary: You'll never stop playing this game
Review: You wanna know how good this game is? I'll tell you. This game came out in 1998, which is eons ago in the gaming world, and I'm still playing it daily. I play Unreal Tournament and Rogue Spear fairly often, but given the choice, I'd pick this one (and its Team Fortress mod) in a heartbeat over the others. The single-player experience is cinematic, scary, intense and addictive. From the get go, you are immersed in the world of the game and you never want it to end. Although of course the game does end, it's not much of a problem because that's when you can just get online and play Team Fortress with others over the internet. The mod is such addictive fun that you'll have to be dragged kicking and screaming from it for food and sleep. It's THAT good....entertainment that keeps you coming back for such an extended length of time.
