I'm sure plenty of you will be saying "shut up fool!" before even wanting to enter into a discussion.
I honestly feel that Half Life is one of the best games of all time. I've spent hours playing the single player game and I don't even want to think about how long I've been sat at my PC during Counterstrike (HL mod) sessions.
Thing is, Half Life is old hat now. The new one is on the way of course and there are still new mods coming out all the time but I feel it's time to have a look at something else.
Red Faction in my opinion (and of course I'm not always right!) is superb. It's not a Half Life beater but it really isn't far off the mark in terms of gameplay and progress.
The storyline is certainly as good as Half Life, the graphics are better of course due to the more recent release and gameplay is impressive.
With the imminent PC version I think that Red Faction could well go down the same route as HL in terms of mods and online gaming.
The PS2 version is great, very playable even with a Dual Shock pad with the added bonus of vibration.
I won't be getting the PC version although it's shaping up to be a big hit.
So let's have it, call me a fool, tell me not to rank them in the same league - long live the revolution!!! :D

I wonder how the PS2 release of Half-Life will change things?
Its had a full graphical overhaul and stuff so it'll probably be right dope! (As we Yorkshire gangsters say)
It'll be weird if the PS2 version of Half Life is better than the PS2 version of Red Faction which is in turn better than the PC version of Half-Life, thus making Half-Life both better and worse!??!!?!!?
Crikey!

i would say Red Faction is better than Half Life.
