It holds a very special place in my heart.

I remember playing Half Life at my Grandparents house, my grandfather or Dad stuck me on Half Life (they had a PC) and I loved it.

I was only able to get past the first few zombies (by fleeing) before having to give up from being too scared lol. While I had played other games / consoles, Half Life was the first game I played that blew my mind and gave me a "wow" factor.

I think other than the original I think Opposing Force is my favourite of the expansions.

Thanks for the post; I'm due for a replay ๐Ÿ˜

Ravenholm was terrifying! The fast zombies' roars along with them jumping across buildings really got to me.
