When&nbsp;<em>Half-Life 2<\/em>&nbsp;was released in 2004, it improved on its predecessor, earning tremendous acclaim. Today, it\u2019s considered one of the greatest games of all-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After more than a decade of players eagerly awaiting an announcement on a&nbsp;<em>Half-Life<\/em>&nbsp;sequel, developer Valve announced the upcoming release of&nbsp;<em>Half-Life: Alyx<\/em>&nbsp;scheduled for release in March of next year. The fusion of FPS and virtual reality (VR) gameplay features the character Alyx Vance, introduced in&nbsp;<em>Half-Life 2&nbsp;<\/em>as she and her father Eli fight the multidimensional alien empire known as the Combine seeking to occupy Earth. Players will get to use a feature called \u201cgravity gloves\u201d allowing creative uses such as picking up a distant pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that&nbsp;<em>Half-Life: Alyx<\/em>&nbsp;is exclusively a VR title, which means you\u2019ll need a headset plus a VR-ready PC capable of handling the extra demands and processing power required by VR titles. At ORIGIN PC, we have the customizable systems ready for you to help Alyx Vance defeat the Combine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like additional information on an ORIGIN PC&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.originpc.com\/gaming\/desktops\/\"><strong>gaming PC<\/strong><\/a>, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.originpc.com\/gaming\/desktops\/neuron\/\"><strong>best gaming PC<\/strong><\/a>, or if you\u2019re interested in the&nbsp;<strong>b<\/strong><strong>est gaming laptop<\/strong>, call 1-877-674-4460 to speak with a sales representative today.
