![]() And I remember reading those first previews, those first exclusive screenshots, in PC Gamer at the time. 1998 was an incredible year for games, and even better for being excited about forthcoming games. What I remember most clearly of all was the anticipation. So I'm going to diverge off into a "what I'd forgotten" in a bit, but first I want to talk about what I'd remembered. While it has its issues, it's still a completely wonderful game to play. But I'd assumed it would have aged to the point where it had become a bit of an anachronism in the 21st century. I forgive myself a little more easily when discovering just how much I've forgotten about the original Half-Life, what with the additional decade. It wasn't quite the magnificent game I'd remembered, buried in pacing issues, yet still very brilliant. And crikey, it's a bit good.īack in 2015, when Half-Life 2 had just turned a mere 10 years old, I went back to replay it and found myself enormously surprised by how much I'd forgotten. But are you still as fresh as the day you were born? I've been re-playing the game for the first time in many years to find out. Goodness me, happy birthday Half-Life! 20 years old today.
