I am sure there are bigger fans than me, but I have played and enjoyed all the Half Lifes and expansions up to this one. I love a good cinematic game. I have also enjoyed a number of Half Life mods over the years; They Hunger was a great zombie-themed campaign for the original Half Life, with more story and cinema than most hobbyist creations.

I am also doing VR this week. Finally got around to playing Half Life: Alyx and am quite enjoying it.
I remember having a demo of that when I was young. It's a cool-looking game.
I have heard nothing but good things about the game, though I have not tried it. But somehow I feel put off at the idea of milking a sequel from the original when its narrative ended so perfectly. I can't argue that it is a correct or reasonable reaction, just a gut feeling. Someday I should play the sequel, if just to see how that feeling changes.
I believe "free" is capitalized because the subject of this post is written in title case, as the title of a book or certain newspaper headlines would be. In title case nouns are capitalized; the word "on" is a preposition and thus left lowercase.
Whether a post's subject should be written in title case is a stylistic choice I have no strong opinion on.
I remember finding Pandora Tomorrow's multiplayer very interesting, with its extremely asymetric nature of 2 first-person Mercs vs. 2 third-person Spies. I do not know how the gameplay held up long-term, and it seemed like you needed to know all the details of every map to be remotely effective. But it was quite unique.
I understand that Chaos Theory had a similar competitive multiplayer, but I never tried it. I did play some of the cooperative multiplayer with my roommate, and had a good time.
