#Half Life

Street Fighter Series When you come across a game series that has multiple crossovers, 22 official titles, and a real-life movie rendition, you can't ignore the fact that it's a game worth playing. Though the graphic violence and hellish imagery of the game were still questionable when it first came out, it eventually warmed up to consumers and became, and continues to be a beacon of inspiration for a lot of other first-person titles including Half-Life, Halo and Duke Nukem. Apart from being a kickass alien shooter game, Half-Life was able to execute mechanics that greatly helped give a realistic gaming experience. The title was eventually succeeded by Half-Life 2 and was even responsible for the birth of the highly acclaimed competitive shooter Counter-Strike. Half-Life even has a VR rendition called Half-Life: Alyx, which takes place between the first two games. Guess we’ll just have to keep waiting for Half-Life 3! And although the original game wasn’t exactly graphically true to life, where the game excelled was its accuracy when it came to the vehicle specs in the game; which was the first of its kind at the time. From trying out all the available cars to looking at each of their specs, to racing it on the track, the original Gran Turismo made us feel like we were really behind the wheel and held its name true to being a real-life driving simulator.
