Yes mechanics are found everywhere in gaming today but the experience of fighting your way to the surface out of Black Mesa is very much unique.

HL1 = The Mist
HL2 = 1984

I love the common thread of hopelessness in the series. The sense of whatever you have done or will ever do means nothing. The game is extremely dark in it's portrayal of despair.

Having a crowbar as your melee weapon, and practically your only weapon, was revolutionary back then.

My favorite part of HL1 was when the Black Mesa shock troop guys came repelling in to hunt you down. Awesome stuff.

But no doubt that HL2 was the true masterpiece.
