The original Half-Life was released exactly ten years ago to the day on November 19, 1998. Half-Life still stands as one of the industry's best rated titles of all time, matched only by titles such as Half-Life 2, The Orange Box, and BioShock.
To celebrate, a number of sites across the vast expanse of the Internet have pieced together a look back on the ten years of Half-Life.
INtense! from the Mod DB gives us a brief look at some of the major hits that have come from the birth of Half-Life.
To really celebrate the original's release, I say everyone loads up Steam and plays the original Half-Life from start to finish. Do be sure and take a few breaks every so often, you don't want to hurt yourself.
Happy birthday Half-Life! Without you and the amazing mods you've spawned, we probably wouldn't even be here today!

The mod that really took over the online community and harbored the title of being the 'most played online game' for years after its inception. Helmed by developers Minh Le and Jess Cliffe, Counter-Strike aimed for a realistic shooter experience. It put players into the roles of terrorist and counter-terrorist dealing with hostage rescues and bomb defusal within urban settings. With only one life to live each round, you needed to display cat-like reflexes and wits of steel to compete with the best.Rock, Paper, Shotgun also sends their best wishes to the original.
