The quality of the content was excellent - great levels, creative situations - but, like Sin Episodes, was still too short for the $20 they're asking. If it were closer to $10, I'd buy it without even thinking, but if they keep the current asking price of $20 for the next episode, I think I'll end up waiting until the price comes down.
As I was playing, I happened to notice Alyx's necklace. It's a cube that looks like it could be some kind of artifact. Perhaps given to her by her father? But for what? Protection?
It's funny, as short as Episode One is, it almost had more story elements and plot twists than the entire game of Half-Life 2. As a result, I've found myself thinking about the game more after I finished. I'm sure I'll go through and play it again, paying more attention to the story details.
Now to get support for Half-Life 2 into Game-Tracker... :-)
I'll end with a cool shot of the Citadel as it's preparing to self destruct.
