Half-Life 2: Episode One
Add-on action with characters you'd like to get to know a little better

For fans of the franchise, searching for answers is part of the fun. It looks like the Combine is keeping a tight lid on elements like new weapons, new enemies and fresh environments; not to mention any of the physical puzzles you'll face that helped define Half-Life 2 's show-don't tell approach to gameplay. But the simple promise of improved graphics, more Alyx and more Dog has us sold. The waiting is the hardest part.
