Half-Life

From Board 8 Wiki

Half-Life is the name of the revolutionary PC FPS series staring Board 8 hero Gordon Freeman.

The first game in the series competed in the '04 Game Contest, where it put up a surprisingly good fight against the heavily favored Metroid Prime. Because Prime went on to have a good showing against Wind Waker, HL1 ended up earning a very respectable 22nd place finish on the final 2004 x-stats.
