Hi, this add on or expansion is the third and the last in the original half life series, its the shortest of the three and looks a the point of view from barnie the security guard who helps Gordon freeman in the original game and plays a big role in half life 2. just like opposing forces where you play a soldier going in to cover up the evidence.its fun and you see common places you see in half life and plenty of new ones too.Its good to play the same game, but from a different view point and a separate story happening at the same time. its worth the buy to complete the story then go get HL2...enjoy
1st - the description is wrong. You do not assume the role of Gordon Freeman. You are Barney Calhoun, a low-level security guard with a similar problem. 'Blue Shift' is a much shorter game than Half-Life, so expect less gameplay, less aliens, and fewer guns. Its still an entertaining ride, with more of that classic Half Life storyline. A newcomer to Half-Life should begin with the 1st game for optimum enjoyment.
Fun game. Brand new.

I bought this for the HD model pack that improves the look of weapons and models in the Half-Life games.

This game follows right along with the original Half-Life game pretty well. The graphics are still on the low end and it would have been much better with higher quality graphics. I got the game in order to get the whole Half-Life series but I am disapointed with the graphics.
