he is 32 or 36 or something in the first game, with a doctorate in Theoretical Physics from MIT.

This intro credits say so.

But he still kicks large amounts of ass. And by large I mean copius.

According to HL2, he was pretty fresh out of MIT when he went to Black Mesa. Not sure how long he worked there until the "incident". Now he's "the only freeman"

Gordon looks young because he's in good shape physically, has color in his hair, and youthfully-styled facial hair. However, with the kind of work he was doing and the information given about him in the beginning credits of Half Life like his master's degree in two fields (I think two? and I can't remember if it says age or not), he'd have to be atleast in his mid or late 30's if not early 40's.

He's ~8 years old. Ask anyone in 1992 who Gordon Freeman is and they'd not know. He didn't exist. He's a computer character.
