This is one of those games that you buy and complete over the weekend.
It is an extremly short game, however this is made up for in gameplay.

This is the start of a nice episodic story, pitting Gordan against the Combine.

The story sees you, Gordan Freeman, joining Alix just after the explosion in the Citidal. Aliz is very happy to see you and you join up to escape city 17.
You start off by actually heading back into the citidal to shut down the core and give you a bit of time to escape.

[more to come - this is brief start]
