"PC Gamer's annual Best 50 Games Ever listing has always been notoriously difficult to compile, but Half-Life emerged as the clear winner this year. There was little disagreement among the editorial team that the game's incredible fusing of action and story has forever changed the face of PC action gaming," said Gary Whitta, editor in chief of PC Gamer magazine. "...Aside from its revolutionary significance it (Half-Life) is, quite simply, the most addictive and fun PC game I have ever played. Hundreds of games vie for a place on our coveted list every year, but only 50 can make the grade - and only one can top them all."
