1998: Half-Life sends a shock through the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling. Valve's debut title wins more than 50 game-of-the-year awards on its way to being named "Best PC Game Ever" by PC Gamer, and launches a franchise with more than eight million retail units sold worldwide.

I do not think there is a man/woman alive that hasn't heard of this game. If you haven't, you are extremely deprived. Released over six years ago, half-life is one of the most famous multiplayer action games of all time. It never dies. When half-life starts to get boring the mods take over. Counter Strike is one of the main reasons half life is still around (in my humble opinion). And I'm proud to say we have it here at Crossroads ISP.
