Half-Life 2: Episode One

Good while it lasted...

Pros: HDR lightning, I gotta say, it's awesome. Another plus is that atleast you're fighting with Alyx most of the time, so you don't get that "alone again" feeling. Convenient way of getting through steam for lazy people like me :D

Cons: Kinda Short. I was also hoping for new weapons and enemies... Well there is one new enemy "Zombine" but its just one... or did i miss something?

Other: Why was Gman only shown in the beginning...

Conlusion: Half-Life 2: Episode One is a great sequel, but it is quite short for 20 bucks.
I though it would last me more than a day...
