10 Best Video Game Levels Of All Time

5. We Don't Go To Ravenholm - Half-Life 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KysKRRBebv8 So consistently excellent is Valve's Half-Life 2 that picking a stand-out mission is extremely difficult in itself; many will opt towards the thrilling finale Dark Energy, though for me, the most memorable and exciting level was We Don't Go To Ravenholm relatively early on in the game. Mixing genuinely terrifying horror with extremely gratifying shoot 'em up action, traipsing through the zombie-infested Ravenholm is one of the most atmospheric levels from any game I've ever had the pleasure of playing. It's a combination of masterfully-crafted tension and expert level design that makes Ravenholm really pop; as scary as meeting the toxic headcrabs is, getting to use the Gravity Gun to fire saw-discs at enemies counter-balances the terror, allowing for a mix of scares and fun. I still shudder every time I think of the screech of the toxic headcrabs (which will knock you down to 1HP with one hit) though.
