Summary: great game
Review: The stellar single player action game challanges you to survive armed combat with aliens and government soldiers as you try to uncover a conspiricy worthy of something from the X-files. the game's cinematic presentation draws you into the action, and the well scripted story makes for an excellent game.

Summary: Do not buy this game.
Review: This game was programmed by Valve and published by Sierra. It has allowed and continues to allow players to cheat, see through walls, autoaim, and do other things they should never be able to do while playing multiplayer. Neither of these companies will take responsibility and it has been years since these cheats were discovered. Just know that if you buy this game you're supporting a couple of irresponsible companies. My two cents. You've been warned.

Summary: This is the Best Package
Review: This has to be the greatest package ever! Half-Life: A great first-person shooter that involes strategy and action. Also a great mutiplayer option. TFC: A great mod that is so much fun. You pick a class from spy to Sniper to demolish Man(My personal favorite) and defend your fortress while tring to attack your opponents Fortress. You win by taking emeny's flag OPForce:Is a great game where you are the bad guys in Half-Life. A lot like normal Half-life. Counter-Strike: Words can't not describe how much fun CS is. It is like Rainbow Six, but better. More people play this then unreal Tournement, Quake 3, Tribes 2, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein conbined. Only wish there was a single player mode. It also comes with Wanted, Redeption, etc popular mods. Also try to get Blue Shift where you are a guard at Black mesa Reaserach Labs. A lot of fun.

Summary: Unbeatable by far
Review: I have played a lot of pc games when I have spare time and I am constantly selling old and buying new games. Halflife however, is one of the rare games I have kept on my shelf. It exceeds standards far beyond that of title such as "Quake2" and I personally feel it can still hold its own against games such as "Quake3 arena" and "Unreal tournament". Its one of those games that once you have it you can't get rid of it and it still manages to be replayable time after time when you have that feeling in your gut that you just have to kill a few more aliens to satisfy your craving! Don't get me wrong, I don't sit at my computer 24/7. I'm hardly on it at all now but from time to time when I am it is one of the games I'll plug in and kill until the cd melts from overuse! The onlly word I could realy use to describe it is 'unputdownable!'. Its one of those games you have to go out and buy and experience for yourself, otherwise you won't have a clue what im talking about. Its a classic, BUY IT, PLAY IT, ENJOY IT!!!

Summary: Great game, waste of cash
Review: Only uninformed people would ever buy the platinum edition of halflife. HalfLife is arguably the greatest PC Game of ALL TIME. It was the most innovational game ever to be released and every sing FPS out now is in some way influenced by it. However, counterstrike, team fortress, and about 150 other mods (or special multiplayer only games based on the halflife engine) can be downloaded 100% legally for free on there websites. Opposing forces was another good game but then again, it alone is not worth the money for the platinum edition. My suggestion? Go and buy the original HalfLife for under ten dollars and then go and buy Halflife Blue Shift. Blue Shift includes a new mission, blueshift (not included in platinum edition) as well as opposing force. It is a much better way to spend your money.

Summary: Half-Life and Online playing
Review: Honestly, this Platinum edition offers everything you could want in a first person "shooter" game. In the package, you get Half-Life, Opposing Force, Team Fortress, and Counter Strike. All games are more than worthy of being called classics in their own time. HOWEVER, what truly pushes this over the top is the ability to get ONLINE and fight with other human opponents. As a lover of DOOM, Descent, and Duke Nukem 3D, I thought I had played all the best first-person shooter games (as of 1998). Then I played Half-Life! With an NVidia GForce2, I am getting between 60-99 FPS (frames per second). The graphics are excellent and the play is smooth. One warning though with this game: ONCE YOU PLAY IT ONLINE, YOU WILL NEVER EVER HAVE ENOUGH TIME IN YOUR LIFE TO PLAY THIS GAME. It is truly awesome and the Half-Life community is a welcoming one...as well as challenging. Simply put: BUY THIS GAME...GET CONNECTED...AND PLAY UNTIL YOUR EYEBALLS ROLL BACK IN YOUR HEAD.

Summary: Intelligent and Inspiring
Review: In my mind, Half-Life embodies every aspect of any truly genius virtue. The level design alone is worthy of anyone's praise because every door, hallway, enemy position, and event represent a complete picture each participating its own example of use. The title certainly deserved its awards, and should be purchased by anyone who is artistic, violent, and thoughtful or intellectual. Not only are you slaughtering aliens, but also our very own marine corps who though following orders produce a threat to our protagonist, YOU, Gordon Freeman. Even though Gordon is the character you play as, the situation is seemlessly integrated and realistically portrayed as if you were Gordon and having to react with caution as yourself. Each character speaks directly to you and follows your movement. Not once do camera shots show your character. All in all, a great game, most valuable title I've seen in a long time.

Summary: A great series
Review: Half life platinum is a pretty nice collection but a little bit expensive for something you could get off the internet. I had a lot of trouble dealing with the collection, due to all the patches they make every day. If your looking for some multiplayer action, don't buy this unless you have a cable modem or better. Anyhting below that and your ...! I'm a 56k owner and I can't play ANY of the multiplayer games. So I pretty much payed 65 bucks (when it was new) for only the first and second game! Although for a long time I was able to play them all. While you can play the games, you'll be occupied for hours though! so not too bad.
