So, I finally got around to playing those Half-Life games that came for free with my purchase of Portal, and (shocker) though they were really excellent. I'm really intrigued by the story, and want to go and play the first Half-Life to learn more about the world. However, it's an old game, and old games sometimes age really poorly. So, I'm asking you, the Escapist community: is Half-Life still a game worth playing today? If so, where might I go to purchase it (if at all possible I'd like to get it on my 360, since I'm more of a console gamer, but I understand if it's PC exclusive). If not, is there a good place to go for a story summary? Thanks in advance.
It is SO worth it. It is nearly as good, if not better, than the second one. It has not aged poorly at all. Admittedly, because it was so revolutionary at its time, every generic FPS and its dog has ripped it off, so it might seem generic now, but it's still a really fun game. You can't play it on your 360 though. You're gonna have to go PC, unless you have an old PS2 lying around.
