Half-Life 2: Episode One
In the first chapter of Valve's episodic follow-up to Half-Life 2, you team up with sidekick Alyx Vance and attempt to escape from City 17 before it's destroyed.
Not a lot of substance.
This wasn't too well received by fans, mainly due to its length and the fact that it's all setup and no payoff. The concept of episodic gaming was quite new at the time. The low price now, and the fac… Read more
Half-Life 2 Lite
The Short Pros - Takes the excellent Half-Life 2 experience and condenses it into 2-3 well-paced hours - Has a high amount of story given the length, and all of it is good and interesting - Lets you p… Read more
Recycled Half Life 2 bits alone don't make a good game
Half Life 2: Episode One was developed by Valve and released in 2006, around one and a half year after previous game Half Life 2. It was Valves failed attempt to turn the Half Life franchise into an e… Read more
Better than the original, or a lateral shift?
When playing through Half-Life 2: Episode One in the past I had always perceived it as a game that is mostly an extension of Half-Life 2. That’s not to say that it’s bad and that’s not to say that it’… Read more
Has it's moments.
I really love Half-Life and the Half-Life 2 series but theres no doubt about it that this is Valve's weakest Half-Life game to date. I really like alot of the parts with Episode One but it just doesn'… Read more
this game is great.
Half Life 2 Episode 1 does not add much to Half Life 2. Instead of adding new weapons or enemies, it decides to master what was seen in Half Life 2. It simply brought HL2 into a bigger and greater uni… Read more
Awesome game
Ive been playing this on the 360 as part of the orange box and its been so far brilliant :D. The story pick up where half life 2 left off, the citidel core has been destroyed but before it kills you a… Read more
The story continues
Half-Life 2: Episode One sets of right away with an alternate ending to the events of Half-Life 2. Although if these events occur before or after the actual ending is not clear - but by now the player… Read more
Half-Life: Episode One
First off let's get that name out of the way. Originally HL2:EP1 was named Half-Life2: Aftermath, to me a much cooler an more logical name. I don't understand how HL2:EP1 was approved, because it's no… Read more

Half-Life 2: Episode One
When Half-Life 2 came out in 2004, the ending left many of its fans scratching their heads. The game ended leaving some pretty big questions unanswered. Instead of waiting for another six years for th… Read more
Short but sweet.
The downside is -- this looks a lot like Half Life 2 and it's not entirely exciting to go back into the Citadel as soon as you spent the entire first game blasting your way through corridor after corr… Read more
HALF-LIFE 2: EPISODE 1
Although hailed by critics and fans as the best PC game of 2004, Half-Life 2 had an ending that left many people scratching their heads. It wasn’t so much an ending but a lead up to Episode 1, the fir… Read more
Familiar but extremely polished and well designed
Ok so when i first heard that Valve was going to go with an episodic model, so their games would be released sooner and would allow for a more TV model. Where their are cliffhangers and you can't wait… Read more
Episode One of a Sequel to the Sequel
his game begins with an interesting cinematic that provides a lot and very little insight to the story at the same time. I won’t say what the cinematic had except for the fact it was very intriguing.… Read more
Half-Life 2: Episode One
Episode One is the continuation of, in my opinion, the best first person shooter of all time. The gameplay engine remains simply the most enjoyable to just run around and shoot things in, and Valve's… Read more
