| Half-Life 2 | Valve Corporation;Vivendi Universal Games (Valve;Electronic Arts) | 2007 | single player, LAN, Internet | c | textured polygons | In City 17, Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance (Merle Dandridge) have destroyed the Citadel's reactor. As it explodes, several vortigaunts (Louis Gossett Jr.) appear and extract Alyx. The G-Man (Michael Shapiro), who extracted Gordon from the explosion, is confronted by the vortigaunts and his psychic connection to Gordon is severed.
Gordon awakens in the ruins of City 17, where he is rescued from a pile of rubble by Dog and reunited with Alyx. Alyx makes contact with Dr. Eli Vance (Robert Guillaume) and Dr. Isaac Kleiner (Harry S. Robins), who have escaped the city. Kleiner informs them that the Citadel's core will soon collapse and destroy the city. Gordon and Alyx proceed into the core to temporarily stabilize it. Alyx discovers that the Combine is attempting to accelerate its destruction to send a transmission back to their homeworld. She downloads a copy of the transmission and a video recorded by Judith Mossman (Michelle Forbes), in which she discusses the location of an unknown project before being subdued by a Combine attack. Gordon and Alyx board a Combine train to escape the Citadel, but it derails. They proceed underground and through the city streets, fighting past disorganized Combine forces and rampant Xen wildlife. Near a Combine-held train station, Gordon and Alyx reunite with Barney Calhoun (Michael Shapiro), to evacuate refugees from the city. They escort the refugees and take a different train out of City 17, escaping just as the reactor detonates, which delivers the Combine transmission. As several pods containing Advisors flee the collapsing Citadel, the explosion's shockwave derails the train. | en | labelimagesubject | ||||||
