Book Reviews of Half-Life : Prima's Official Strategy Guide
Book Review: USEFUL AND NEEDED GUIDE FOR HALF-LIFE
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend this guide for anyone playing Half-Life. The game is difficult, and this guide is a "must have" to avoid getting frustrated and quitting. First time I played this game, I never got past "On A Rail", less than half into the game. I also recommend checking out the walkthrough on the Planet Half-Life web site.
Summary of Half-Life : Prima's Official Strategy Guide

Best walkthrough of all game locations
Thorough coverage of optimal combat tactics
Stats for all weapons and monsters
It was just a typical day in the life of Gordon Freeman, your average young scientist working for the government at the high-security Black Mesa research facility. Typical, that is, until a freak accident opens up a transdimensional gateway to an alien world. Soon the place is crawling with mutated scientists, alien creatures, and--worst of all--government troops bent on eliminating all witnesses to the accident. Fighting your way past these evil hordes is no easy task--unless, of course, you've got Prima's official Half-Life strategy guide in your arsenal.
With a wealth of information, statistics, and gameplay guidelines, this book can help turn any fledgling scientist into a battle-hardened killing machine in no time. In addition to descriptions of the weapons you'll find and the enemies you'll have to use them against, the book offers advice on basic first-person shooter tactics (how to circle-strafe, for example). A full-fledged walk-through of the game includes plenty of maps (more than 100 in all) and screen shots to help illustrate the best path to take. A brief section on multiplayer Half-Life rounds out this impressive guide.
