Did Breen truly believe joining the Combine would advance the human race? Or was he merely doing his best to save the species from extinction? We may never know. Or maybe we will… We investigate this enigma in an attempt to bring new theories to light.

Are we being deceived? While unlikely, it’s interesting to speculate that we may be lead astray by the Vortigaunts.

Nihilanth is shrouded in mystery. Our first and only encounter with him doesn’t reveal much. We know very little about him – but he is key to the Half-Life story.

We’d like to wish all of our readers a Happy New Year, we hope you have a great 2016!

We recently passed over 1 million monthly hits for our site too, which is a big achievement for us, so thanks to everyone who has supported LambdaGeneration over the past year. We have big plans in store for 2016!

In the meantime, there’s an ARG to solve!

It happened again. Another bit of what we want to believe is Half-Life 3 has appeared in the wild. But how big of a deal is this?

There’s something strange going on over at BlackMesaSource.com.

The website for the highly anticipated Half-Life recreation modification, Black Mesa, started showing a mysterious video the other day of an analogue TV filled with color bars, which is directing viewers to a some sort of countdown clock.

Swedish YouTuber ‘Top10Memes‘, also known as ‘LEMMiNO’, recently uploaded a very interesting ‘Top 10 Facts’ video about Half-Life, which may just test your knowledge about the series we all know and love.

So far we have seen 8-bit style box artwork, soundtrack remixes, and even an early stage Sega Master System port, but Newgrounds user ‘UnrealCanine‘ is the first person to actually create a full-blown Half-Life 8-bit remake, or rather, a ‘demake’.

Upcoming live action Half-Life fan film series “The Freeman Chronicles” just published a blog post teasing new production media after a long period of silence.

The popular “XboxAhoy” YouTube channel, which is a member of the Machinima.com gaming network, just uploaded an excellent retrospective video analysis that explores Valve’s success with the original Half-Life.

Written by Stuart Brown, the video analysis highlights the early influences of Half-Life, such as Quake as well as the affect that Half-Life’s release had upon the FPS in genre, including the modding scene as well as Valve’s later developments with Team Fortress, Steam and the Source engine.

If you have a spare 20 minuets, it’s well worth a watch!
