Team Fortress 2 Counter-Strike Source - CS News, Forums, & Resources The Orange Box - Half-Life 2 1998. Half-Life® sends a shock through the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling. Valve's debut title wins more than 50 game-of-the-year awards on its way to being named “Best PC Game Ever” by PC Gamer. NOW. By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life® 2 opens the door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around him, from the physical environment to the behaviors, and even emotions, of both friends and enemies. The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling.
Half-Life 2: Lost Coast on Steam One of the most inspiring, most enlightening games of it's time. After finishing this game for the first time, I had to go back and play it several more times. In fact, I replayed this over 70 times and I still wasn't able to fully soak the story of the lone fisherman and his quest to help the protagonist Grodan Friedman and his trusty companion, the crowbar. I spent many hours up at night just trying to fathom what exactly went through the mind of Friedman as he traversed through the barren landscape of Highway 17.
Metro 2033 | 4A Games It’s been twenty years since the War started and ended. It lasted for a couple of hours and did not end in a victory for any side. There were no sides left after it ended. The Moscow Metro did fulfill its alternative purpose as an enormous bomb shelter – it did so almost perfectly. Most of the people who hurried inside at the sounds of an air raid alert survived. They seem to be the only ones who did. The humanity was all but extinguished in the apocalypse it brought upon itself, its last remains reduced to hiding in holes waiting for an unlikely miracle – or, which seems much more probable after all those years, simply waiting for the last supplies to run out. Grudges and enmity are sure to arise in times of need, and in this world they blossom like never before. And this is the harsh and unforgiving world as you, Artyom, know it.
