It's a single-player.

There is a multi-player option in the latest update. Haven't yet experimented with it though.

For ten bucks, some might consider it over priced. There's no real goal other than to play around with the Source engine. Once you get the hang of how all the tools work, it can get fun.

Still can be lots of fun if you are creative, though.

I love the G-Man to no end. My favorite part of playing HL2 was exploring a destroyed apartment complex and hearing some weird music playing. I followed the music, turned a corner and found it coming from a television sitting on a pile of rubble. The image on the screen was just of the G-Man, standing still. He looked at me, adjusted his tie, and the TV shut itself off. It was the ultimate "What. The. Fuck." moment.

Beat HL2. One of the best games I've ever played, and I regret waiting this long to play it.

Play the EPISODES! You get so much more story out of them.
