I'm 29 now, and I probably first sat down at a computer when I was like 3 or something. Between the ages of 4 and 5, I was already diving into Half-Life (1998), and by the time I hit 5, I had conquered it. Half-Life became my first major storyline game and my all-time favorite game series for the rest of my life.

And it hit me right in the feels with its gripping narrative and the tech engine's capabilities, not to mention the game designers' wizardry. Then came the two epic episodes with an ending that just left me itching to know what happens next.

Breaking the boundaries of player-game interaction, delivering a totally fresh gaming experience. Once again, an awesome storyline with a killer ending that's got me itching and hoping for Gabe's not-so-favorite number, Half-Life 3.
