Half Life

July 22nd, 2007 by Shenron

This game has an amazing plot much better than Doom. The main player will be the important character i.e. Gordon Freeman who is a scientist at Black Mesa Research. Story goes like this scientist is involved in some experiment but as he fails it results in a big disaster with origin of new kind of deadly creatures. Finally it’s all about how this scientist is escaping and saving his life. Weapons and other self-cautionary choices are very well designed. Specialty of the game is that this game is not levels system it’s a straight stretch from beginning to the end. Though the game has more pros compared to the games of same genre there are some cons also. All the human character in this game looks like clones so it becomes difficult to differentiate among the crowd.
As a whole this game gives you a different taste as its game plan and the story line goes synchronous most of the time.
