Half-Life 2 was one of the most complete and engaging shooters at its time. After six years of first person shooter games perfecting their formula, does Half-Life 2 remain king?
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
The 2024 Game Anniversaries include some major titles including Half-Life 2, Uncharted 2, and Minecraft.
Don't know never played it.
Is Half-Life 2 Still King of the Shooters?
I didn't know it was "ever" the King of Shooters.
As single player goes, you'd be hard pushed to find something to compete with HL2. It's easily better than any FPS I've played in recent memory.
Multiplayer, well HL Deathmatch was pretty fun, but easily topped by some recent titles, although you can easily spend hours playing on KillBox.
I agree with the article, Half-Life 2 is still king, and will be until Half-Life 3. As long as you don't play it on console...
Easily. I still go back and play it from time to time and not only do the graphics still hold up, but its still my favorite FPS single player experience, and CSS is still the best multiplayer.
