Yeah good stuff, classic game still. It's short, and it was fun going for the achievement, "The One Free Bullet" which added a fun challenge I haven't tried in the past.
Continue the fight against The Combine in your desperate effort to free the Earth from an extradimensional alien invasion! Be the most stoic hero while you charge againsta horde of soldiers armed with your loyal crowbar and a set of futuristic weapons!
