What Popwar Bunny said. Despite that games of recent like Bioshock are arguably superior, Half-Life pioneered the FPS genre in a way no other game, rudimentarily, did 9 years before. It has my favorite game character ever (the G-Man, whose mysterious, other worldly, and subtly morose nature I can appreciate) and it enwrapped me and followed a well set mood and pace (dark, never sacrificing a second, building, menacing tones, plot being the catalyst, immersive, etc) I wanted in a way that no game had before. The expansion packs and sequels are still good in my opinion but nothing beats the original, for it makes the inclusion of the closest thing to a revolution one can make come to fruition (in my honest opinion). My only issue with it is that most of the characters are less characters and more NPC clones, but that's a limitation of the game engine (a modified Quake engine if I recollect) rather than the game and story itself.The Half-Life series, for suuuure. :D I absolutely love those games (including Portal, Team Fortress 2, etc.). I've never enjoyed a series as much as that one.
