Half Life
by Cody Sherman

	Half Life is an awesome game in my opinion.It is a 1st person shooter. Which means your "eye" level is almost real life. The intro tells you a lot so listen up when you play it. You start out as Gordan Freeman a scitentist of the Black Masa Research Company. You are susposed to help with this science expirement but it goes wrong and these alien type creatures get there some how and your main objective is to get to the surface and then save as many people as you can.
	Control
	The controls in the game are hard to get used to if your not used to a 1st person shooter. You have to use your mouse and keyboard. Overall I rank the controls a 5 out of a 10.
	Graphics
	The graphics in Half Life are awesome also. You can choose two different settings. 1. System graphics( which is no 3d Acceleration) 2. 3D Graphics( require a 3D Acceleration card). I give the graphics a rating of 9 out of 10 because they rock.
	Replay
	The replay value of Half Life is ok but not as good as some other games. I give the replay value a 6 out of 10. 
	Sound
	The sound effects for Half Life are awesome. When you fire your gun it sounds like a real gun. When you shoot stuff it sounds realistic. So overall I give it a 8 out of 10.
