Sweet Half-Life
Template:ReleasedModSmall Sweet Half-Life (or SHL, for short) is a single player science fiction and Manga (Japanese animation)-based Mod of Valve's first-person shooter Half-Life. It was created by Marc Ellis (original mod concept), along with Koumei Satou (maps and general direction), Gareth Lough (coding and modelling), Karu_gamo (modelling), Steven k. Headley (voice acting) and Amit katz (in-game texts).
Plot
Taking place during the same time line as Half-Life, the player is Gordon McGinley, the Black Mesa warehouse manager. When the resonance cascade occurs, McGinley must find a way to escape Black Mesa alive.
It starts as any other day for Gordon McGinley, until a sudden and violent shaking occurs, that throws then entire base into chaos. Gordon dons a H.E.V. suit, and joins fellow scientists in riding Black Mesa of the invading Xen aliens, the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit, and a new, unknown alien species (they look like the stereotypical "grey" aliens). The game ends with McGinley stalking the ever-elusive G-Man on board a tram, similar to the one used in the original Half-Life ending. Template:Endspoiler
