Set between the events of Half-Life and Half-Life 2, Alyx Vance and her father Eli mount an early resistance to the Combine's brutal occupation of Earth.
The loss of the Seven-Hour War is still fresh. In the shadow of a rising Combine fortress known as the Citadel, residents of City 17 learn to live under the rule of their invaders. But among this scattered population are two of Earth's most resourceful scientists: Dr. Eli Vance and his daughter Alyx, the founders of a fledgling resistance.

You and your father were relocated to City 17. In the years since, you've continued your clandestine scientific activity—performing critical research, and building invaluable tools for the few humans brave enough to defy the Combine.
Every day you learn more about your enemy, and every day you work toward finding a weakness.

Lean around a broken wall and under a barnacle to make an impossible shot. Rummage through shelves to find a healing syringe and some shotgun shells. Manipulate tools to hack alien interfaces. Tear a headcrab off your face and throw it out the window. VR was built for the kind of gameplay that sits at the heart of Half-Life.
Half-Life: Alyx supports a variety of play environments, locomotion methods, and input devices.

If you have VR hardware that works with a computer, then it works with SteamVR.
If you don’t yet own any VR hardware, now's the time. Headsets support different sets of features, so the experience will vary between them. Half-Life: Alyx was built hand in hand with Valve Index, which is the highest fidelity option on the market, but the game works great with Vive, Rift and Windows Mixed Reality too. Check out the different options to choose which one is right for you.

First it was Gameloft who brought Iron Man 2 Game for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and now Valve Software has just brought their revolutionary first-person shooter gameHalf-Life 2 to Steam for Mac… It may be nearly six years late, but we repeat “Half-Life 2” has finally arrived on Mac systems and is available on Steam. Folks who purchased the excellent FPS on Steam in years past will be happy to know that the Mac version was retroactively included in that purchase, so it’s free for them to download.

The original Half-Life is one of those games that has been a blight on the Mac gaming landscape since 1997. According to Valve, “Game ownership is no longer dictated by platform.” Seeing as how it seems the Mac is one of the last viable platforms for Half-Life 2 to land on, I suppose maybe they’re right.

So the day that many Mac gamers expected never to see has come at last – Valve has released Half-Life 2, the legendary action game, for the Macintosh. It’s available through Valve’s Steam online download service, which was released for the Mac earlier this month.

It’s an enormous step for Valve, and an epic win for Mac users. Steam is the most successful PC-based games-on-demand service, and it’s estimated more than 70 percent of all legal game downloads take place via Steam.

With Valve’s new systems in place, you’ll be able to download games such as Half Life 2 on your PC at home. Then, when you hit the road, you’ll be able to continue playing on your MacBook from right where you left off — your saved games can be stored in the cloud using Steam Cloud.
