Ten years on, the original Half-Life is still held up as one of the best computer games ever made.

It may have been ten years since the original Half-Life was released but we can still remember just how influential and important the game was.

So influential in fact that ever since the release of Half-Life 2 a team of very dedicated modders have been making a remake of the game in Half-Life 2s Source engine. A proper remake too with new models and textures, not like the disappointing Half-Life: Source from Valve.

To help ramp up excitement this holiday season the team has released a new trailer which shows off some of the most exciting and dramatic moments in the original game - everything from the tentacles in the rocket lab to your cliff-side descent in Surface Tension.

What's most exciting of all though is the vague 2009 release date which has now been set for the project, meaning that a chance to relive the original Half-Life experience may finally be upon us.

You can check out the full trailer below, or visit the official Black Mesa Source website for more information - and don't forget to let us know what you think in the forums.
