10 Retro FPS Games We Need On Consoles

10. Half Life

The fact that this has only ever been ported to the PS2 is baffling, not least of all because it means Half-Life hasn't sold as many copies as it could. It's one of the greatest - if not THE greatest - games from one of the greatest years in gaming, 1998.

Half-Life retains a legacy that still can be felt to this day across multiple genres. A greater emphasis was placed on the narrative and open ended level design, making gamers feel like they were exploring an actual place rather than a series of loosely connected levels. Games like Bioshock, Prey, and Metroid Prime all owe it a debt.

It still has a dedicated fan base and has received an overhaul in the form of Black Mesa, giving those blocky and pixelated textures a big HD face lift.

All that's just the base game. There are the expansions to consider too, like Blue Shift and Opposing Force, as well as all the mods and multiplayer modes that have been added over the years. It all really depends on how generous the powers that be are feeling.
