Some games get a following. Some games get a fanatical following.
Some games get a following fanatical enough to recode the entire thing for an updated graphics engine and get it released on Steam!

It may have been ten years since the original Half-Life was released but we can all still remember just how influential and important the game was.

So influential in fact that ever since the release of Half-Life 2 [wicked awesome game] a team of very dedicated modders have been making a remake of the game in Half-Life 2s Source engine. [a proper remake too with new models and textures, not like the disappointing Half-Life: Source from Valve]

To help ramp up excitement this holiday season the team has released a new trailer which shows off some of the most exciting and dramatic moments in the original game – everything from the tentacles in the rocket lab to your cliff-side descent in Surface Tension.

What’s most exciting of all is the vague 2009 release date which has now been set for the project, meaning that a chance to relive the original Half-Life experience may finally be upon us:

The original Half-Life is still regarded as one of the greatest games of all time.
