Half Life: Blue Shift
Stand-alone 'expansion style' game for the acclaimed FPS. (You do not have to have a version of the original game installed to play this). It was released at an ultra-budget price. It offers another take on the events that unfolded in the main game. You take the role of one of the security guards employed at Black Mesa, named Barney. The game environments and story overlap those of the main game with new scripted events, weapons and monsters. A nice section involves rescuing and fighting alongside a marine. There is a multi-player mode for up to 32 players via LAN or Net. As expected, the graphics are now starting to look dated (the Half Life engine is now some five years old).
