Half-Life Retrospective: Part 1 Half-Life

Hello readers, today im going to review Half-Life. Witch one, you ask. All of them, yes all of them. We will first take a look at the original, Half-Life. You play Dr. Gordon Freeman, a 27 year old physicsist working in Black Mesa. A secret laboratory in the middle of Mexico. At the begging of the game, its just another day in the workplace. But a risky experiment changes that, from this point on, nothing goes right for our protagonist Gordon. As you trie to make your way to the surface, you discover a horrofiying secret. The marines deployed to come rescue you, arent really going to rescue you. No they are coming to KILL YOU and the scientists in Black Mesa. So now its your mission to get to the surface and escape the marines.

But its no easy task, the failed experiment open´d a portal, and monsters came through the portal. Zombies, headcrabs, acid spitters, weird headless dog looking things and other enemies to make your way out harder. Along the way you might notice somewhere in the background a mysterious man in a blue suit with a red tie and a suitcase. This is a character named G-Man, he is called that because in the game files his model is named well G-Man. There is alot of speculation around his past and so many theories floating around the internet. Im not going to give you my two cents about his past and purpose, so lets continue before i start to ramble.

I´d like to think that the game is divided into three parts. The first part is getting to the surface. the second part is battling the marines and making your way through their defenses and the third part is fighting aliens in what can one be described as another dimension. This dimension doesnt appear to have planets, no just little floating islands made out of rock. On these little islands live aliens and you have to kill them to survive. Once you finish off the final boss you coud say, you enter a trolley and are greeted by none other than G-Man, he offers you a job. You can choose if you take the job or not, it is up to you. This does not affect the future of your game because this is the end and it doesnt make a diffrence in Half-Life 2. Alright thats about it for now, make sure to read part where i review Half-Life: Opposing Force and Half-Life: Blue Shift.

Bye now.
