Few people would disagree with the premise that the crown jewel of Sierra Studios’ PC game line-up is 1998’s Half Life, which received kudos and racked up numerous "Game of the Year" recognitions from just about every gaming publication. One prominent periodical even decreed Half Life as the "best PC game ever." This much-acclaimed and highly innovative heavyweight of the first person genre has spawned several different expansions and other retail incarnations, including Opposing Force, Team Fortress Classic, and Counter Strike, not to mention innumerable custom made maps and MODs (modifications to gameplay, mainly for multiplayer purposes), created by resourceful players with the game’s level editor. Many of these MOD’s are available for free download on the internet. They range in quality from superior, semi-professional efforts to abysmally unimaginative and poorly executed disasters.
