In this episodic sequel (formerly known as "Aftermath"), players continue the groundbreaking story that came to an explosive halt at the conclusion of Half-Life 2. Players once again assume the role of Gordon Freeman and team up with sidekick Alyx Vance to flee the remnants of a nearly-destroyed City 17 and it's eerily-empty streets.
The action begins quickly as the damage to the citadel has been done and Gordon and Alyx must lead the evacuation effort. Enemies previously un-attackable such as crab and mortar synths now stand in your path as you try to help Gordon and others escape the imminent citadel blast.
Once again utilizing the Source technology and HDR lighting popularized by Half Life 2, Episode One aims to begin the tradition of episodic content for Half Life fans. Gamers can expect over six hours of game play while taking out enemies with the help of Alyx's pet robot dog.

It could have been longer but it was decent addition to the game. Not much new here though.

Better than HL2 -

Half-Life 2: Episode One Review

I had, and have, serious gripes with HL2. But overall this game is better and more enjoyable than the source, HL2. I love the low light areas, which offer a new sense of tension after the absurdly-easy final section of HL2.
How is it that such an important game's sequel-to-the-sequel can seem more coherent, more like a real game (with a consistent and compelling storyline), than its original (the HL2 sequel to HL)? Sad to say, but this sequel makes the original seem even more lame than it did on its own.

This's a great game, with multiple escenarios, and great levels, I like the most the grafic, but you need a video card for that, this's short but the only thing I can tell is a excellent game.
