One of the better FPSes in terms of story, the Half Life series has been praised for the right combination of tension, action, background dealings and face-to-face confrontation. Sounds like a natural for a live action adaptation, right? Well, the Purchase Brothers sure thought so, and decided to take matters into their own hands. With a reported budget of only $500 (sounds like a bunch of people worked for free), they put together an amazing sequence that shows just how well the Half Life games can translate to live action. Here’s part one, with part two promised to come soon.
(Thanks, James!)

I couldnt stop laughing when he pulled out the crowbar. They did a great job on this, but, might just be me, but the voices were really low for some reason. Had to crank the volume to hear anything.
Also, after so many shops seen online, I can only picture Hugh Laurie (House) as Gordan Freeman. So, if they do ever make an actual movie, I wont be able to settle for anyone else.
