Amazon.com Product Description
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.
Product Description
Half-Life 2: Aftermath brings you the new adventures of Gordon Freeman and his able sidekick Alyx. At the end of Half-Life 2, you did critical damage to the Citadel. The whole place is going to go up, taking out City 17 and what's in its immediate radius. In this expansion, Gordon and Alyx are leading the flight from the city -- and getting up close and personal with some of the creatures and sights from the Half-Life 2.

 Adds some life to the game May 4, 2008
It could have been longer but it was decent addition to the game. Not much new here though.
Better than HL2 March 1, 2008
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.
 A excellent game February 8, 2008
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.
 half-life 2 episode one January 8, 2008
This was an enjoyable game, it lasted about 12 hours of play. I am next going to play on the hardest setting. If you like half-life 2; I would reccmend it for your collection.
The perfect game shadowed by an useless "steam" !!! January 7, 2008
Definitly HL2 is and always will the most popular FPS game in history. And now with this excellent expansion is even better. BUT !!! Steam is always try make head ache to all of us. How is posibble, I install the game and I need to update the game from to 70% to 100% to be able to play, What happen if I don't have any decent ADSL conection at home ??? I can't play. So I carry my CPU to my office to connect to a 512kb ADSL connection, and after 6 hours the was be complete able to be played. 6 HOURS, this is almost imposible, how it could be ??
Be sure that the game has anything you want in a game of this class: graphics, great history, emotion, thriller, even scare; but is not justified that STEAM make this kind of "barrier".
Thank you, and have a good play.
