So I'm currently working on my first run through half life. I had played single player before, but for one reason or another always ended up stopping right after the blast pit level. iono, school, work and lost saves due to formats would happen and I just never bothered playing through. I have played HL2, ep1 and ep2 though...
anyways, back to HL. Talk about a great game. No doubt the graphics are dated (duh).. but the AI is superb. Level design -- given the tech they have to work with -- is also great. I really like the variety of the levels (I thought the same of HL2, but again, on older tech they did a great job with HL). The puzzles are nice too... they're all just challenging enough to have me scratching my head about which door to find or conveyor belt to climb without being distractingly hard.
makes me wish i had played through the game sooner
