Half-Life 2 — Mia Mulder

Half-Life is a technical and atmospheric wonder of a series that has time and time again set the bar for games higher and ever. From immersive storytelling, engaging characters to innovation in level design, lighting, graphics and most of all physics.

The opening of Half-Life 2 is a perfect demonstration of how to improve over an already great predecessor and still stand apart entirely. Many of the revolutionary improvements made by Half-life 2 are now standard in the video game industry, and for good reason.

In this video Mia Mulder walks you through the openings of both Half-Life 1 and 2 and tells you as the opening progresses how the world of Half-Life invites you in to explore and discover.
