Welcome to the Half-Life Library, a virtual bookshelf to all things Half-Life.
Half-Life Library is a Half-Life wiki where anybody can edit and add as much content as they want. This site focuses more on user generated content like custom maps, modifications, videos, models, clans and more.
There is room for anything relating to Half-Life at all, we are all about keeping the memories and stories of Half-Life's past and future, just like a real library. At the Half-Life Library, retaining nostalgia is our main driving force. This means whether you have a Half-Life 2: Deathmatch clan, a Counter-Strike server, a Team Fortress 2 video, a full-fledged Source modification or any combination of the above, a page is waiting for you to create.
The Half-Life Library is in its infancy, as such there isn't many pages/articles, but you can help change that by adding more. To begin adding and editing, you must register an account. If you would like to find out more, please visit our help page to get all the details about how to become a librarian/historian here at the Half-Life Library.
Half-Life Library contains 150 articles since August 2008. A detailed number of statistics are also available.

 Sassilization is a unique persistent modification built in Garry's Mod 10 created by a team of people including Sassafrass, in which the game is named after. The game is a mixture of Real Time Strategy and Role Playing where players can buy permanent upgrades and miracles to use in the Real Time Strategy portion of the game. To buy such things, players can accumulate gold or "dough" which can be earned by winning games, donating to the server, playing card games, as well as other activities in The Lounge.

 Gang Garrison 2 is a freeware, open-source, fan made game and "demake" of Valve's Team Fortress 2. It essentially transforms the 3D environments as shown in Team Fortress 2, and converts them into a 2D, 8-bit game with retro sensibilities including the sounds and music. The game was started by a team of three people consisting of MedO (programming), mrfredman (artwork), and Synnah (sound). It was first released on August 7th, 2008 (version 1.0); the current release is version 2.1. (Read More...) |

| Project Natal for Half-Life 2 is video that was released on December 29th, 2009 supposedly showing gameplay of Half-Life 2 using Microsoft's new motion controller project, "Natal". The video has bee criticized for its very blurry and dark atmosphere leading to the assumption that it is fake rather than being a true leaked beta or alpha test for Half-Life 2 and Natal. The video gameplay takes place in Dr. Kleiner's laboratory, near the start of Half-Life 2. (Read More...) |

Half-Life Library has launched a new section of our archival system meant to preserve files mostly for modifications. The MediaWiki software does not inherently allow archived files to be maintained on the website so we will be hosting all non-imagery files in our Downloads Repository.
