Good storyline and a huge plus for using the source engine, but found this opening episode a little repetitive.

I enjoyed the opening storyline but for the most part the action in the game is a bit repetitive. Graphics look good, not outstanding though. Physics are on par with HL2. I was a bit disappointed with the content for the first episode. I went through the game in about 4 hours and it seemed to all blend together with very few memorable moments. There weren't that many different types of enemies and there are only 3 weapons in this episode, all with secondary firing options. All in all, I enjoyed it, but it felt like a budget shooter. I wish they made the storyline a bit longer for the first episode. I will give this series one more shot in episode 2 when it comes out, but if it doesn't improve, I don't think I will invest in the remaining episodes. On the plus side, I love the steam delivery system and the main menu song.
