Half-Life is a science fiction first-person shooter computer game developed by Valve Software and published by Sierra Entertainment in 1998, based on a very changed Quake game engine. It was first published for PCs running Microsoft Windows, and was later ported to Sony's PlayStation 2 video game console.
Half-Life, often shortened to HL, has been thought to be very great by computer game critics for its gripping in-depth storyline, which would influence the development of other first-person shooters in the years to come.
Half-Life was followed by a sequel, Half-Life 2 in 2004.
