Half-Life: Blue Shift

In this game you play as Barney Calhoun as a security guard in the Black Mesa facility during the Black Mesa Incident. Remember your ride in the train in the first game? It turns out the character of Barney is the same guy who was hammering on a door on a platform in the tunnel. The hazard course is pretty much identical to the one in the first game. So i wont elaborate.

The actual game, gameplay and graphics is pretty much identical to the first Half-Life game and the other expansion pack Opposing Force. Which (of course) is a very good thing. The game ties up a few loose ends from the first game and it's quite clever how they both tie in to each other. On top of that this game features a few new monsters and a couple of new cool guns. As always in all the Half-Life games there are puzzles to solve here. Some of them are quite hard but that's what walkthroughs are for! So if you were in to Half-Life then get this game! And don't forget to pick up Opposing Force to!
