Codename: Gordon?!

Yes. Very yes. Now, if you don't know what Codename: Gordon is, it was a 2D sidescroller fan-created game released in 2003, based on VALVE's Half-Life 2(actually, since it came out a year before HL2, it was more based on whatever little bits of HL2 trailers and small pieces of gameplay people had seen), and it was picked up by some company named Nuclearvision Entertainment. It was distributed over STEAM(VALVe's online delivery system), but was taken down due to Nuclearvision Entertainment's bankruptcy. If you want to read a little more on the history and plot and such, then just visit the Wikipedia page for it.

Anyway, being the sneaky little bastard that I am, I found out a way to download it(by trolling various forums). Apparently, VALVe never took it off their servers(or something, I don't know the details), so you can still download it.

If you want to, then first download the STEAM client, then in your internet browser, type in "steam://install/92" in the URL bar, then in STEAM it will bring up a box that lets you download and install Codename: Gordon. Have fun, and good night.
