I, personally, am a complete addict with regard to the Half-Life series, Half-Life 2 in particular. I recommend it most highly to any and all gamers, for beautiful visuals, puzzles that are just challenging enough to be fun, intense firefights, and storyline that (in my opinion) puts the story of any other shooter and many RPGs to shame. The characters are very much living, breathing people for me, and from the heart-pounding chase across the rooftops of zombie-infested Ravenholm to the quiet terror and mystery of Nova Prospekt to the game's final, enigmatic moments, it is very difficult to stop playing. Playing Half-Life 1 aids your understanding of many of the things said throughout the game, but is not necessary.
That said, I don't know if anyone here has played it, but there are various hints that add up to state that the game is set in eastern Europe. When playing I always wondered, what's happening everywhere else? I would very much like to explore that with a roleplay on this site, but first I'd have to find out who would be interested in such a thing. Any takers?

I recently bought The Orange Box for the Xbox 360, and I was amazed at all the episode's stories. It has so much depth, and I'd love to know what's happening in other places.

I've heard quite a few things about that game but I have personally never purchased it.

I am glad to hear that you share my views, Jupi. I only wish that I had the Orange Box, probably the greatest compilation of games ever to grace the planet.
Elfy, the storyline is actually not difficult to pick up. The point of much of the game, in actuality, is having no idea what's going on while everyone around you seems to know. It is complex, but it doesn't have to start off complex if done carefully and well as it was in the game.

Half-Life is a game I would like to try some time, but no, I've never played it.
But if you want to make a roleplay about it, I'm good with it. Me love Zombies! Lots of Zombies!
