What I liked more is that the episode actually explained black mesa. I didn't have the opportunity to play the first HL so at least now I'm on track.

I must have missed it, when did they explain black mesa? Maybe I already knew it so it didn't stand out, but I just can't remember that part.
I didn't notice that either.
When was Black Mesa discussed?
Also curious.

And yes I thought Ep 1 was great, more fun than regular HL2.
 
Yeah, I really enjoyed playing it, I do wish it was a bit longer or explained a little more.

Was much more fun to have a teamate play with you. I was however wanting a little more explained than they did. Also would have been nice if they added some sort of multiplayer with it(something that you didnt' already get with HL2) For instance, DoD or something.

I believe it came with Half-Life Source: Deathmatch or something. Hey, it's something. 😛

I thought Alyx was done extremely well in Episode One. The way she covered her face when I shined my flashlight at her, and waved at me through the window a couple times. Damn, Valve sure knows how to make cute CG.
 
I concur with the kudos to Valve in this thread.

In my dreams, I wish Valve owned the license to Battlefield 2... it would be such a different game when properly executed.
