In 1998, the PC's original Half-Life changed first-person shooters forever by proving that a compelling story can be told within the genre; prior to its release, FPSs were mindless action games, but although Half-Life certainly had its fair share of action, it also contained plenty of exploration, puzzle, and story elements. Now, as a PlayStation 2 game, it's never looked or played better. This version contains the outstanding single-player story mode, as well as a few new ones; while the new additions aren't so great, the story mode is one of the best adventures on the PS2.
