I just finished playing the main Half-Life game and the Half-Life: Blue Shift and Half-Life: Opposing Force expansions over the past week (yes, I was playing on easy dificulty. No, don't ask why). I just bought the Half-Life Platinum Collection that has all three of the above games and Team Fortress and Counter-Strike.
My friend showed me Half-Life last year, but non-Jedi first person shooters were never really my cup of tea...until last week.
Oh, and if anyone wants to read the previes for Half-Life 2, you can find links to them here:
http://www.planethalflife.com/half-life2/previews/This makes for an interesting read, no matter which preview you choose.
Oh, and here is a link to a before-and-after shot of the G-Man (aka the Man in the Suit).

look eerie as well.
BTW, if there are any Half-Life players out there, I'd like an answer to a question. I know that Xen is referred to as a "border world," but what precisely is Xen at the border of?
