Half life 2 Episode one is like the continuation of Half life 2. Valve decided to release what would have been Half life 3 in episodes contents. It feels like Half life 2 and for that reason it is great. Sadly this game is short. If you played Half life 2 there is nothing to add, only perhaps a new enemy called zombine which is a combine with a headcrab in its head. You will enter again the citadel, enter a hole full of zombies and walk again through the streets of city 17 trying to find to escape with Alyx and the remaining citizens of the city. One new innovation is that Alyx will be with you almost always like Elika from Prince of Persia (This game was first) and that she is affected by the enviorment too. Also we see a little upgrade from the graphics. Episode 1 is like Half life 2 and it is great but again it is so short that in no time you will finish it.
