• The design lead of Half-Life's biggest competitor says that its publisher was so 'pissed off' by the time the game launched that it didn't bother testing it properly: 'We got trashed in the press because of bugs' - 24 May 2026

  Back in the halcyon days of 1998, Ritual Entertainment's Sin was shaping up to be the hottest shooter released that year. An over-the-top, hyper-violent gunfest with the backing of John Romero and a dash of what, at the time, qualified as sex appeal, Sin seemed destined to be the shooter on everyone's hard-drive by the end of the year...

• Have You Played Sin? - 8 January 2015

  Have You Played? is an endless stream of game recommendations. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. Released on October 31st 1998, less than two weeks before the first Half-Life, Sin is an odd footnote in the first-person shooter’s growth from carefree, violent romp towards the carefree, violent romps with scripted story bits they are today. …

• Timey Wimey: Lots Of Footage Of The Half-Life Alpha - 9 January 2013

  Way back in time, when the world was in 8-bit and we all paid for our cholera gruel with children’s teeth, Valve were working on Half-Life.
