A tiny baby Gearbox, a decade ago in 1999, worked on its alternative perspective of Valve's seminal shooter. It's even strangerer to think they weren't made by Valve. It's strange to remember that Half-Life deviated off into two semi-sequel expansions before it reached Half-Life 2. Has there ever been a central character for a game who sounds more like a geography supply teacher? Which is why we should celebrate the hero at the centre of Opposing Force. Even Half-Life's Gordon only keeps the nerd up for his first name, the surname sinking into the cliché of Freeman. Pick up a random shooter and you're bound to find yourself in control of someone called something like Dirk Death, or Rick Giantballs. There are definitely too many corny names for heroes in videogames.
