Half-Life 2: Episode One is a
first-person shooter video game, the first in a series of
episodes that serve as the sequel to the 2004 game Half-Life 2. Originally called Half-Life 2: Aftermath, it was developed by
Valve Corporation and released on June 1, 2006. Episode One, like Half-Life 2, uses the
Source game engine. The game debuted new lighting and animation technologies, as well as
artificial intelligence enhancements for the
sidekick character,
Alyx Vance. Episode One tracks scientist
Gordon Freeman and Alyx as they fight in humanity's continuing struggle against the
Combine, an alien race. Gordon wakes up outside the enemy's base of operations, the Citadel, after being rendered unconscious by the concluding events of Half-Life 2. During the course of the game, Gordon travels with Alyx in and around war-torn
City 17 as they attempt to evacuate the city. As the game comes to an end, they are trapped in a derailing train; their fates are revealed in Episode Two. Critical reaction was generally positive, especially for the cooperative aspects of the gameplay, but the game's short length was criticized. (

naval battle fought by the British
Royal Navy's
Grand Fleet against the

High Seas Fleet during the
First World War. The only full-scale clash of
battleships in the war, the Germans intended it to lure out, trap and destroy a portion of the Grand Fleet, as the German naval force was insufficient to openly engage the entire British fleet. Fourteen British and eleven German ships were sunk, and more than 8,000 people were killed. Both sides claimed victory, and dispute over the significance of the battle continues to this day.
