April 16, 2004 - Even roughly five-and-a-half years after its original release, Half-Life is still considered one of the greatest first-person shooters ever. And that's not even solely based on its impact or groundbreaking entry into the industry; the game still holds up extraordinarily well today, something that can't be said for many of its peers.

Not surprisingly, a sequel is on its way. By now, the only person who hasn't heard of and seen what Half-Life 2 is all about is a guy named Abraham who lives in Mississippi. He's also 103.

Half-Life 2 was unveiled to the public at last year's E3, causing enough of a rumble that we thought it was either an earthquake or side effects of Craig's Atkins diet. We've figured it was time to line up Half-Life 2 with its predecessor and see exactly what's been brought up to date, what's been brought along and what sort of new surprises we're in for.

This feature pits Half-Life and Half-Life 2 side-by-side in widescreen video. This gives you the opportunity to compare the classic with the upcoming sure-fire smash hit. Take a look.
