I have been wanting to play HL1 forever, HL2 became my favorite all-time game a few years back and having never played HL1 I feel like it's something I need to accomplish. Looks like I'll have a reason to get a PC for once
I do have the HL beta for Dreamcast, but it's not the easiest to control with the single analog stick. And I quit about 3-4 chapters in since I don't want to experience the game that way. I pretty much HAVE to use cheats to get anywhere since the controls are so awkward to me.
When HL2 Episode Three and Portal 2 are released I keep hoping Valve will release a "Half Life: The Complete Saga" for 360/PS3 with the following:
Black Mesa Source, Blue Shift, Opposing Force, Half Life 2, HL2 Episode One, HL2 Episode Two, HL2 Episode Three, Portal, and Portal 2.
Of course I don't think it will be the "complete" HL saga since Valve pretty much said it will continue, but the HL2 story arc will end with Episode Three.
I realize the "complete" saga is a total pipe dream, but I would definitely crap in my pants if that happened.
