Black Mesa is very very very very good. Eli's voice is different, but the rest of the voice acting is actually spot on. The attention to detail in this game is incredible. Literally, the character's activities are so lifelike and seamless, not only can you miss a lot of them by just walking by people, but they lead to some new marvel.
The Gman cameo at the beginning is brilliant but you have to look for it, just like every other instance. It feels like Valve made it themselves, except so far it's better than anything they've ever done. For me.
Half-Life 1 is one of my favorite games of all time. So far the changes I've seen, such as actually incorporating Eli and Kleiner, and taking Barney out of the beginning, all work to incorporate this better into the universe than the original was. The jokes are clever. The dialogue is well-written. The combat is satisfying, especially with the changes made. There are hiccups every now and then, but the game is gorgeous, and there are times where I struggle to believe it's free.
Can't wait to see where they take Xen.
