My only complaint is that it isn't as much a remake as it is a shiny new coat of paint. Valve was suprisingly lazy with this one, only adding slightly improved textures, ragdoll effect, water effects, and physics. While no doubt a good game, I would only say you should buy it if you don't own Half Life. I wouldn't give this a 10 because it's just Half Life only slightly improved (graphicly) but the game is indeed still good so it gets a 10. Full Review »

Every aspect of this game was as good as it gets, only unreal managed to have slightly better graphics and music back then. While its basicly technically superior competitor unreal focussed more on mulitplayer games in future, half-life managed to succesfully create a new singleplayer univere and keeps it alive till today. This was the start of a flawless series that still keeps millions of people hooked. Full Review »

It is, in my opinion, much more enjoyable than Half-Life 2. Black Mesa is surprisingly huge and the visuals are rendered nicely. Of course the game runs very smoothly. You really shouldn't have any problems running this game. It features a lot of stuff that you would find with the addition of the Source engine (slightly improved lighting, ragdoll physics, better water effects etc.) The only reason I'm not giving this game a perfect score is due to the fact that the textures remain the same, which might put some people off from buying it if they were expecting a full-fledged remake. Still... it's worth checking out. Exploring the entirety of Black Mesa with the G-Man walking out of sight as you approach the next room can be a lot of fun. Full Review »
