    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 😁

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