Half-Life 2 lends itself to a lot of different styles and moods. As such, it seems as if you could almost put just about any soundtrack behind it, granted it fit properly. But, of course, the prevalent atmosphere in the Half-Life 2 series is melancholia. After all, the Earth has been invaded by a totalitarian multi-dimensional alien empire picking Earth to the bone for its now-dwindling resources. There are no more children, and genocide has taken most of the world’s population.
So while you could, in theory, make an improved HL2 soundtrack using Haddaway’s “What Is Love”, the HL2 series really does lend itself to more somber sorts of music. Which brings us to…

I actually can’t think of a combination I like better: Half-Life and Radiohead, the two things I hold most dear in life.
That was quite something!
Omg…. this must be by far the best HL dedicated video I’ve ever seen.
So much grief and sorrow, you can’t help but feel nostalgic.
It was even better than this video I saw years ago:

I don’t see how anything could top this: http://youtu.be/1yqmzhaOegc
Yeah, that one was also terrific. Not sure if anything can top “I’m Still Seeing Breen”, though. Tough call.
Very nice! And while we’re at it; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq5EnEa7Mg8
One of the very best HL videos. Period.
Oh, hahaha we shared the same video, oops.
Very well made indeed 🙂
