2. Day of Defeat: Source -- Counter-Strike
   A relatively late entry to the Half-Life mod scene, Day of Defeat Beta 1 was first released in January 2001. Over the next year and a half, the mod continually improved and developed a strong following. With the release of Beta 3, Day of Defeat (like Counter-Strike) became an official Valve Software sponsored modification.
3. Half-Life -- Half-Life 2
   Half-Life 2 brings you all the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, plus startling new realism and responsiveness. You once again take on the role of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth that is being picked to the bone. With its resources depleted and populace dwindling, it is now up to you to rescue the world from the wrongness unleashed back at Black Mesa. This time you're fighting for more than your own survival. A lot of people — including those you are closest to — are counting on you to save the world. Do you dare pick up the crowbar again and face unimaginable threats of all kind?
4. Half-Life -- Games
   Half-Life 2 is an immersive first person shooter from the developers at Valve Software, the creators of the original Half-Life. Building off of the riveting storyline and gameplay of the debut title, Half-Life 2 pushes the envelope even further and has once again "raised the bar" of the FPS genre. Using Valve's own built-from-the-ground-up "Source" engine, Half-Life 2 offers interactive physical environments, intense realism and impressive graphics, all bundled together with a masterfully-crafted storyline.
5. Half-Life
   The titles of Half-Life and its expansion packs are all named after scientific terms. Half-Life itself is a reference to the half-life of a quantity (such as a radioactive material), the amount of time required for the quantity to decay to half of its initial value. The Greek letter lambda, which features prominently on the game's packaging, represents the related decay constant, as well as the Lambda Complex featured in the game. Opposing Force, while it could be named because the player assumes the role of one of the enemies in the original game, is ... a reference to Newton's third law of motion, while Blue Shift refers to the blue shifting of the frequency of radiation caused by the Doppler effect, in a similar parallel reference to the blue color of the security uniforms. Finally, in Half-Life: Decay, the title again references the half-life equation with the Lambda symbol being the decay constant.
6. Half-Life 2 -- Games
   "Half-Life 2" wasn't the only game delayed by the source-code theft. Valve had licensed out the game's "Source" graphics engine to developer Troika, which was hard at work building "Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines," a PC role-playing game. That game, initially set to be released this year, had to be delayed to implement the same security fixes needed on HL2. It now has a target release date of Spring 2005, said Trokia co-founder Jason Anderson.
7. Half-Life 2 -- Hl2
   Half-Life 2 was merely a rumor until a strong impression at E3 in May 2003 launched it into high levels of hype, where it won several awards for best in show. It was forecast to come out in September 2003, but was delayed. This pushing back of HL2’s release date came in the wake of the cracking of Valve's internal network,[62] through a null session connection to Tangis which was hosted in Valve’s network and a subsequent upload of an ASP shell, resulting in the leak of the game’s source code in early September 2003.[63] On October 2, Valve CEO Gabe Newell publicly explained in the HalfLife2.net forums the events that Valve experienced around the time of the leak, and requested users to track down the perpetrators if possible.
8. Sierra Entertainment
   Los Angeles, CA - March 20, 2007 - Sierra Entertainment announced that the Gold Edition for the million-unit franchise F.E.A.R.™ (First Encounter Assault Recon) is shipping to retailers today. F.E.A.R. - Gold Edition is the essential PC package that combines the critically acclaimed Director's Edition of F.E.A.R. (PC) with the award-winning expansion pack F.E.A.R. Extraction Point (PC).
9. Day of Defeat -- Games
   What kind of game is Day of Defeat, you might ask? Simply put, it is a team based multi-player first-person shooter based on the currently popular theme of World War II. Set in 1944 Western Europe during the height of the war, players join up with either the Axis or Allied armies, battling it out over the included 15 maps. Standard team based goals such as position capturing and holding make up the majority of the content found within the game, while the occasional ‘steal/protect the objective’ can be found headlining the remaining few maps. Although technically there are only two sides to the conflict (Allied and Axis) Day of Defeat takes an unusual approach to its team base by splitting up the Allied forces into two playable teams, the Americans and the British.
