Most critically acclaimed first-person shooter (FPS) videogame series

Valve’s genre-defining Half-Life, Half-Life 2 and compilation The Orange Box each carry an average online review score of 96%, making the series the most critically acclaimed PC games franchise in history. Placing players in the role of the FPS genre’s least likely action hero, theoretical physicist Gordon Freeman, the game’s pacing, action sequences and silent protagonist have proved hugely popular with critics and gamers alike, and deservedly so.
