Half-life 2 Episode 1 Walkthrough
To start a new game, simply select 'New Game' in the main menu. You will be able to choose your difficulty (easy, normal, or hard) in the options menu. Half-Life 2 has no cut scenes and the entire game is presented through the eyes of the main character, Gordon Freeman.
