Get Half-Life for less than a dollar on Steam

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of ‘the game that started it all’, Valve has kindly put the classically awesome Half-Life on sale for just 98 cents.

For those that have been locked in a large wooden chest, thrown inside a larger metal chest, buried and then forgotten about for 10 years, Half-Life is one of the greatest games to have ever graced the industry. Before Half-Life, you might have pictured an accountant in Basingstoke when hearing the name Gordon Freeman, and it’s testament to Valve’s design that Freeman’s bearded, crowbar-wielding figure became such a memorable character.

Half-Life took the kill-the-aliens story that had been a staple of FPS games for years, and combined it with an engrossing story and an imaginative, apocalyptic setting that pitted you against everything from aliens and mutant headcrabs to ninjas and marines.

Half-Life is most definitely a game to experience for those very few gamers that haven’t already, and as it’s less than a quid until 8pm tomorrow evening, you’ve really no excuse not to. Click here to download Steam.
