Cosplay: ‘HALF-LIFE 2’ Gordon Freeman and Alyx Give No F**ks

With each passing day, I become more and more certain I will never play Half-Life 3. My mortal coil shall be shed before the title’s release in 2022, and never will I know the conclusion.

Resistance 3 would be so lucky as to be mentioned in the same breath as HL2. Hit the jump for the screens.
