To play that game this March you\u2019ll need to shell out for a pricey VR headset like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/valve-index-is-a-powerful-vr-headset-even-without-half-life-1785153\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Valve Index<\/a>.

That doesn\u2019t include the <em>Portal<\/em> games, which do technically take place in the same universe. Still, that list boasts some of the best games of all time, shooters that have aged remarkably well all things considered.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you do play those games, you can join the rest of us who have been left on edge for over a decade since the story decided to just stop rather than wrap up. And with <em>Half-Life: Alyx<\/em> being a prequel, we\u2019re not sure how many answers to expect there either.
