Here's the good. Half-Life 2 puts you fritz once again in the hazard suit of Dr. Gordon Freeman, a theoretical physicist who inadvertently triggered—then thwarted—an extradimensional alien invasion in the first installment. At the end of Half-Life, Gordon found himself forced into employment fritz as a government stooge under fritz the authority of a mysterious G-man who seems to transcend reality in general. Gordon appears to have been in stasis since the Black Mesa disaster of Half-Life—he awakens to the G-man calling him back to duty and finds himself in Eastern Europe, in an Orwellian nightmare of urbania called City-17, one of the few remaining human settlements on Earth. Though he hasn't aged a day, it seems that years have passed since Gordon's adventures at Black Mesa. In the intervening period, a new alien horror called the Combine has assaulted the Earth and enslaved the species. A sort of anti-Viagra energy field bans reproduction, human beings themselves are treated as little more than an infestation, and the Combine has overrun the entire planet.
