Clue: Murder at Boddy Mansion is a very competent translation of Parker Brothers' popular board game to the computer screen.
Although I found the mouse-driven movements hard to do, and the game lacks the charm of Virgin Mastertronic's 1989 Clue Master Detective, this modern update is still a very faithful one that brings the fun of Clue to a new generation of PC gamers.
GameSpot's review explains it well: 'If you've ever played Clue for any length of time, you'll be amazed at how good this translation to the PC really is. In fact, this is probably more fun than playing the board game. If you've never played Clue at all, the basic setup goes like this: Six characters are at the mansion of Mr. Boddy, and through some underhanded means, one of the characters has murdered him. Playing one of the six characters, you move from room to room making suggestions about who killed him with which weapon. The suggested location of the murder is always the room in which you're making the suggestion. Once the suggestion is made, the other characters must show clues to disprove the suggestion if they have any. Through a system of cards, the actual murderer's name, choice of weapon, and location of the crime are chosen from a deck containing all the character names, weapons, and locations. The rest of the cards are handed out randomly to all the characters. When you make a suggestion, anyone disproving it shows you one of his cards that fills in one of the missing pieces of the mystery. By analyzing who's making what suggestions and knowing which cards you and others have, you try to accuse someone of the murder.
You might be saying that all this guessing still isn't going to get you excited about playing Clue. Here's where Hasbro Interactive has gone the extra mile. It added a bunch of great shortcut scenes that accompany the suggestions about the murder. You'll be amazed the first time you see Ms. Scarlet whacking someone with a lead pipe the size of Pittsburgh and hear the thud as the metal makes contact with the victim. Playing this game at work is one thing, but you really have to sit at home in a dark room with a couple of friends to get the true feel of murder solving. The cutscenes are different for each character and weapon, so don't think that they're just repeated animations. For a laugh, try suggesting Mrs. White with the rope, and you'll see her wrestle a chair out from under her hanging victim. The other features during gameplay are also worthy of praise.
Clue offers full animations of the characters walking from room to room. While this is interesting for a while, you'll probably want to play with the standard overhead view of the board. Along with the animations is a really good soundtrack that includes sounds of the storm outside the mansion and a forbidding butler who calls out each suggestion as it is played. There's really just one problem with the game. The suggestions of the computer players go by so fast, that it's often difficult to follow what's happening. The 'autonotes' feature that takes notes as to what cards you've seen doesn't record what suggestions have already been made, so making educated guesses as to which cards people don't have by their suggestions becomes a pen and paper experience.
Overall, this is one of the best translations to the PC that Hasbro has ever done. /silvercrest-usb-video-grabber-mac-drivers-for-mac.html. Beyond the simple fault of some extra features that weren't implemented to their best effect, there aren't really many faults with the game. There is one bug that locks the game when a large number of characters are played by the computer, but this happened rarely.
Basically, if you love the board game, you're going to want this version. And if you haven't played the board game, buy this instead.'

I remembered when this came out for Win 95/98. The remaster of the original Clue board game.. Great challenging levels, characters from the classical board game, and a visual experience that will have you guessing 'Who done it?' for hours.

Half-Life is a sci-fi first person shooter released in 1998 on PC, and is often considered one of the most influential games of its time. Developed by Valve, the game made leaps and bounds in both storytelling and overall gameplay for the FPS genre. By offering more control to the player, Half-Life draws you in with its interesting and tense story, fantastic controls, and otherworldly enemies. Since its release, Half-Life has cemented itself as one of the greatest games of all time. From the narrative to the gameplay itself, Half-Life is an absolute masterpiece.
The story of Half-Life starts at the Black Mesa Research Facility in New Mexico, where highly classified scientific experiments take place. You assume the role of Gordon Freeman, a theoretical physicist who works at the aforementioned facility. When an experiment goes wrong, Freeman and his cohorts accidentally rip open a portal to another dimension. This sends everything into an expected chaos, and Freeman must escape the facility while fending off the horrors from the other dimension. As the story progresses, Freeman encounters various military groups and mysterious characters. There's a huge amount of atmosphere to the game, which reinforces the more mysterious aspects of the narrative.
Half-Life tells its story in an interesting way, and it helped push storytelling forward in video gaming. Instead of containing the story to cutscenes and text boxes like other games at the time, Half-Life almost always leaves control up to the player. Using scripted sequences, characters will talk to each other and events will happen, leaving the player in control to watch. This kind of organic storytelling made the game more immersive, making the player really feel like Gordon Freeman. The use of scripted sequences in storytelling would become more common in later years, and we have Half-Life to thank for starting the trend.
The gameplay in Half-Life also feels vastly far ahead of its time. Instead of offering various levels full of enemies, Half-Life feels like a continuous world. Players often have to solve environmental puzzles to progress further in the game, as well as navigate treacherous obstacles and hazards. There's also plenty of gunplay and enemies to shoot, and a fun arsenal of weapons to use. From the iconic crowbar to pistols and assault rifles, Half-Life has a great mixture of guns and weapons. The alien creatures from the other dimension are intimidating and smart, so you'll have to use your wits as well as your skill to defeat them. Crab creatures scurry fast on the ground, while long-tongued monsters hang from the ceilings waiting to trap you. There's always a feeling of tension and suspense while fighting, especially early on in the game.
Overall, Half-Life is a wonderfully crafted game that helped push video gaming into the new century. By using scripted sequences instead of cutscenes, Half-Life showed us just how cinematic games could be. In addition to the great storytelling, the game is tons of fun to play. The great variety of guns and enemy types keep things fresh, and exciting bosses and puzzles punctuate excellent level design. By modern standards, the graphics can feel a bit low quality, but that's the only complaint you'll find. Even to this day, Half-Life remains a stunningly enjoyable game.
