"Half-Life is as close to perfection as you will ever see!" — Maximum PC
In the beginning, there was Half-Life, Valve's blockbuster debut. With its engrossing story line, skeletal animation system, and so-good-it's-scary AI, Half-Life blew away the gaming world. The Half-Life universe grew with the release of Team Fortress, Opposing Force, and most recently Counter-Strike. These games pushed the Half-Life engine to its limits and beyond, adding exciting new story lines, weapons, enemies and multiplayer challenges. See for yourself why PC Game declared Half-Life "The Best PC Game Ever."
Half-Life Platinum includes Half-Life: Game of the Year Edition, Half-Life: Opposing Force, Team Fortress Classic, Half-Life: Blue Shift, and Half-Life: Counter-Strike.

Inside Flaps:
Half-Life: Game Of The Year Edition
You are Gordon Freeman, a research associate at the Black Mesa Research Facility. It was just another day at the lab...until your experiment blew up in your face. Now, with aliens coming through the walls, a military death squad on the rampage, and your panicking colleagues at the top of the endangered species list, you need to scramble to stay alive.
Enemy behavior is uncomfortably realistic. Many creautes not only see and hear you; they track you by your scent. Military squads work together to flush you out and destroy you.
Opposing Force
Opposing Force returns you to the Black Mesa Research Facility as one of the military specialists sent to eliminate Gordon Freeman. In addition to its exciting single-player experience, Opposing Force features a large collection of fresh multiplayer content, including new weapons, player characters and 15 new multiplayer maps created by industry all-stars.
You and your squad must infiltrate the lab, eliminate the hostiles, neutralize all resistance and secure the facility. This is no cakewalk.
Team Fortress
A team-based multiplayer game that has become one of the most popular action games on the Internet. Play online as Medic, Soldier, Sniper, Engineer or five other roles. Each role has unique weapons, items and abilities. The easy-to-use interface makes finding and joining a multiplayer game simple and intuitive.
The different objectives for each map encourage teammates to work together and add an unprecedented level of strategy and interaction to the gameplay.
Counter-Strike
Play as either terrorist or counter-terrorist in this widly popular team-based game. Communicate with team members to complete strategic manuevers and operations to blow stuff up, rescue hostages, or just stomp the other team. Your role effects your missions and the weapons available to you. Counter-Strike also includes three new mods: Redemption, Firearms, and the never-before-seen Wanted.
Counter-Strike features several real-world locations, a variety of attack patterns and real-life weapons including Kevlar vests, C4, and Sig Sauers.
