Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 10 years, you’ve probably had a chance to play Half-Life. But on the off chance that you haven’t, Valve is offering the game for just $.98. This is to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Half-Life. The deal goes until Friday at noon. of course if you haven’t managed to pick up a copy of half-life by now then you probably haven’t bought almost any copy of Half-Life two either since Valve has done their best to include half-life and the remake of Half-Life and the source engine known as Half-Life: Source in just about every bundle they could think of since they launched their Steam platform.

What’s really neat about all this is that without Half-Life we wouldn’t have so many things that we take for granted now such as the Steam platform, Counter Strike, Left 4 Dead, Half Life 2,  Portal, and probably some other games I’m not even thinking of. It’s really quite astonishing what one small game built by a few former Microsoft employees has become in this gaming industry that we have today. One has to admire the company for what they have accomplished in only 10 short years and it makes you think and wonder what they can accomplish in 10 more.
