2c) Warcraft II: Beyond The Dark Portal (human campaign)
26) The Operative: No One Lives Forever
27) Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3D
28a) Warcraft III (Human Campaign)
29) Descent
30) Quake Mission Pack No. 1 Scourge of Armagon
31) Moto Racer
32) Sin
33) Dungeon Keeper
34) Half Life Blue Shift
Half Life Blue Shift is basically Half Life in abbreviated form. You’re working in a science lab when a teleportation experiment goes wrong, aliens pour through the woodwork, then soldiers show up to kill all the witnesses, including you. You must find a scientist who knows how to operate a teleportation machine to help you and your coworkers escape to safety.
I enjoyed this, but not as much as Half Life’s other expansion, Opposing Force. Opposing Force was also a short romp through Black Mesa, but it had brand new weapons, enemies, more ambitious level design, and left me feeling that I had learned new things about the world of Half Life. Blue Shift didn’t really check these boxes for me. Instead it feels more like a retread of Half Life. By Valve standards I’m not sure Blue Shift is so great. Of course, as a Valve game, it is much better than other FPS titles. So if you must play absolutely everything Valve and Half Life-related it’ll be worth your time. Everyone else can probably pass on this.
