Half-Life?

When Half-Life 1 was released back in 1998, it shipped with a program called Worldcraft. This little program allowed the user to create maps for the game using all the materials that the game used. So began the modifications for the game, ranging from the insanely popular Counter-Strike to Day of Defeat to the decidedly average. Half-Life 1 brought with it a tense, movie like atmosphere, assisted by the revolutionary use of scripted sequences designed to surprise the player. It also heralded the age of sophisticated (for it's time anyway) A.I. as well as shuffling in the quiet hero, Gordon Freeman.

Preludes - A machinima version of the T.S. Eliot poem

Machinima? Whaa? Machinima basically means "a film created in a game-engine". This was a "real-life" version of Preludes by the poet T.S. Eliot. This two map pack was built for Spirit of Half-Life. Contains custom textures and required DLLs for Spirit.

And yes, it's dark.
