too bad it doesn't seem to connect much continuity visible to players with what happened in HL1, and also that Gordon's mute. IMO, the game would be *tons* better if he had a damn personality.
moving on to the new NiGHTS or maybe HL2: Ep2 next... still undecided.

I recommend you take the Half Life gravy train the whole way through. The entire experience feels a lot better in consecutive playthroughs.
I'm also surprised you liked Episode 1. I have full confidence that you'll enjoy Episode 2 even more. IMO Episode 2 is the better game, with better story elements, better graphics, and better pacing. It starts off a little slow, but before you know it the game picks up considerably.
Stop wasting time with Nights and go get No More Heroes.
