Blue Shift was the last game to take place during the same time frame of the Black Mesa incident. This time you portray Barney Calhoun, the same security guard who aided Gordon Freeman & Colporal Adrien Shepard during their survival of the Black Mesa incident. The game start off the same way as the original Half-Life game did within the monerail tram except Barney takes a different tram that show cases locations not shown in Half Life original or Opposing Force. After playing this game you get the idea of how massive the lab facility is. Anyways Barney is an everyday security guard who is about to part take his duty at Black Mesa, upon entering an elevator with a couple scientists, the power goes out and the elevator decends to the lower basement level at a high speed. Upon awakening, Barney wasn't sure how he survived the impact of the elevator fall, but soon he finds out that the lab facility is infested with hidious aliens that want Barney for dead. Upon scavenging armor and weapons, Barney must use his wit and what his training lessons taught him in order to escape Black Mesa in one piece. The scenario is the same as the original & Opposing Force games, except focused on a different character who embarks in different locations of the Black Mesa facility. The game play is similar along with the same minor flaws featured in the other games. Because Barney wears regular swat armor, he can not use the HEV units to regain armor strength instead he must obtain new armor in order to replace the old worn out armor. The enemies are the same and the weapons are the same as the ones used by Freeman & Shepard, but a much different experience. The length of the game is shorter but if you enjoyed playing the previous games, then this game is worth your time as it expands on what happened during the Black Mesa incident along with brief cameos of Freeman & the mysterious G-Man. Highly recommended for die hard Half-Life fans.
