    Considering the tiny budget, this is seriously impressive. Worth watching in high quality.

    Yeah saw it on RPS. Considering their budget, it's amazingly good.

    Give these guys a few million to make a feature length movie I say.

    Very good stuff, also caught it on kotaku and have watch it a few times now, I think it's class. I will be keeping track of these shorts as they come along... although it just makes me want a a film based on Half Life 2 so badly! Tis kind of a tease.

    Not bad at all. Script and acting could be sharper, but that is nitpicking considering it is just a very small production. For 500 dollars that is a seriously slick video, and really gets the atmosphere of HL2 across perfectly

    I think it'd be pretty awful if Freeman was in it.

    That is seriously cool!

    Bloody hell - most movies, never mind tv shows, don't have production values or effects like that.

    Why is it that smaller completely independent companies can make movies about games far more superior than any effort Hollywood can do?

    This is a brilliant example and so is the Halo short movie.

    Is there a second part?
