Jose Reynolds, a journalist, for the “Santa Fe Times” in New Mexico, obtains interesting information from his sources, that a few hours ago, not far from “Route 66″, strange animals were found dead.

Without hesitation, he left the office and hit the road, riding the highway, and after some time came across one of these…

After proving your skill and cunning by escaping the Black Mesa complex alive, you have been called on by a shadowy organisation – the Alien Counter-Insurgency Bureau – to help protect mankind from the threat posed by Xen.

Tonight, the A.C.I.B. has need of your special abilities to counter a new threat to civilisation. You have been given a rendez-vous in the warehouse district of the city to receive your mission briefing.

This is the continuation of DAV Train.

After reaching the Osprey you think that you are safe and going home but you don’t realize that you are being follow by an Apache helicopter.

Eventually he damages your Osprey and you crash, finding yourself on the run again…

You start as a worker on a fuel line, fixing some pipes, working on some kinks; you know that type of stuff. When the next thing you know, a rival company has hired a small ‘faction’ of troops to come in and collect the data from the mainframe(s). Your objective is to stop them using whatever means necessary! Even if it means destroying the mainframe! You can’t let this data leak!

My name is Jordan Freeman. My only family is my grandfather, Gordon, and he is old and sick.   Today the old man got up early,and woke me too…from the bad dreams I always have.   He took me up to the old closed area…people call it “Evil Black Mesa.”   For me it is not so bad a place.   There, I can be alone.There, the old man has taught me many things; how to handle weapons, rock-climbing, and other survival techniques.

The action takes place in the future on colonized planets.

Having found “UNUNPERIUM”, a mineral which can generate huge quantities of energy, a Terrestrial Feberadtion was found to find and extract this precious substance.

The Federation has sent the cruiser “Aranon” tto the planet Akada, where a group of terrorists have disrupted production.

Your objective is to investigate this disruption.

Somewhere far beneath the surface of one of the Earth’s Oceans lies a large complex known as The Challenger Deep.

In this complex, many scientific experiments take place on a daily basis. These experiments deal with intense anti-mass spectrometer radiation.

You play a Russian scientist, Ravil Unisovich, who unwittingly unleashes a plague of monsters after an unsuccessful experiment.

Sound familiar?

In this, the first of 4 mods, you simiply need to escape the research facility, where you started everything.

After the incidents at Black Mesa three years ago, Gordon Freeman was recruited by a curious FBI Agent, known simply by the common nickname given to his kind, ‘G-Man’.

Now working as a highly-trained special operative, Gordon Freeman is the only man the US Government fully trusts in highly hostile situations.

This is the demo of the unfinished mod.

The first section sets the scene and you even get to “play” as Gina, Gordon’s Sister.

The second section is all action, with some puzzling solving required.

Todesangst introduces the new sinister character Dr. Jack Newell, expert chaos theory mathematician and Director of Black Mesa R&D. Gordon Freeman and Dr. Newell have always had an adversarial relationship at best, and Gordon’s hero status following the containment of Xen only served to inflame Dr. Newell’s hatred and jealousy of him.

The story picks up where The Xeno Project left off.

After fighting your way across Xen and escaping in a rocket, you are captured and imprisoned aboard an Earth vessel full of grunts, lead by the our old friend the Gman.

What happens next? I’m afraid that’s up to you. Good luck….you’ll need it.

Your name is Mark Hunt, an elite Marine sent in to ‘clean up’ the Black Mesa Incident. Near evening your platoon was ambushed by a superior force, taking you completely by surprise. In the chaos you became separated from your C.O. and by sheer luck evaded the atomic blast that followed. The Brass didn’t call it luck. You were courtmartialed for desertion and sentenced to ten years in a maximum security prison. Two years into your sentence, something happened…

You find yourself on a spaceship, which seems to be researching Xen lifeforms.

Follow the clues to a spot on the ship and then ignore the sign.

At this point things turn fun!

Are you fast and smart enough to escape? Only time will tell….

You play Gordon Freeman and your objective is to chase the Gman.

Of course, he is one step ahead of you all the time, but that’s doesn’t mean you can’t catch him.

What is this “island” in the title, play and you may find out (Actually you won’t, but you might in part 2!

Almost a decade after the Black Mesa incident, which opened the Portal Storms, you find yourself trying to cope with their aftermath.

Creatures seem to appear from nothing and come without warning. It is during this time that you find yourself in your apartment.

A strange, suited man appeared in your dreams and having no idea what’s going on, all you can do is to try and stay alive.

Overheid tells the story of Chris Winfield, a new recruit in humanity’s fight against the Combine.

The story unfolds across multiple locations, from the fringes of society to the very heart of the Combine beast.

What if Freeman weren’t held in stasis during the portal storm that ravaged the Earth and caught the attention of the Combine?

What if Freeman had a chance to prevent the Combine invasion from ever materializing?

What if Freeman could reverse mankind’s fate?

The death of the Nihilanth threw the Xenian army into disarray, and the subsequent portal storms stranded many on Earth in the wake of Combine occupation.

After once more having to endure existence beneath the totalitarian boot of their cosmic nemesis, they have searched for a way out. Now, buried in the heart of a dilapidated university, they’ve found it.

You find yourself arriving at some sort of Combine facility. You are taken to a room where you are attacked. Next thing you know you wake up in a bin, presumably assumed dead.

Wasting no time, you begin to explore and you find two identical rebel twins who tell you exactly what you need to do, it’s just they tell you in Russian!

As in most mods, you don’t really need to hear what they say, just do what you do best; find and kill Combine. And so, starts your journey to Abyss!

AT 30,000 FEET… you are almost 6 miles (9.7 kilometers) above sea level. The human body is not made for these conditions. Temperatures are can plummet to -60F (-51C), the brain is starved for oxygen and each step is a new experience in pure agony. It’s difficult to breathe. It’s difficult to think. It’s difficult to move. And you still have to endure another 444 feet (0.14 kilometers) to get to the peak. So much for the good news.

Provenance is a short singleplayer mod for Half-Life 2 where the player explores a section of the lab (known as Sector B) as Gordon Freeman. It’s purpose is more of a portfolio mod.

So says the author. I just wish all portfolio pieces were this good!

A partial conversion of an underground lab where scientists have been experimenting on a new drug to wipe out all forms of infection that humans can aquire.

This mod features some intense action scenes, but most of these come later on, much of the earlier parts of the mod are focused on adventure and storytelling.
