Half-Life 2: Episode Two is the second installment in Valve Corporation's series of episodes for the computer game Half-Life 2. Continuing with Valve's method of orienting each episode around a particular theme or set of technologies, Episode Two focuses on expansive environments, travel and nonlinear play and following the closing events of Episode One, it sees Gordon Freeman and the series' other major players moving away from City 17 to the surrounding wilderness.
The first two episodes of Half-Life 2 were developed concurrently by separate teams. This episode was released in a bundled package: The Orange Box shipped for the PC, the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 and contains Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2, in addition to Half-Life 2 and Episode One. The package is available at retail stores and through Steam (Valve's content delivery system) for direct download. A retail copy of Episode Two is available only in Russia.

GAMEPLAY HINTS
Hidden pumpkins
Set the system date to October 31. After you are ambushed by Hunters and Combine at a big house, drive along the road. Near where the supply cache is found you will see an old truck. Go up to it. There will be lots of pumpkins lying on the ground.
Lost reference
When you enter the White Forest base, you'll meet a Vortigaunt in a lab coat named Uriah. When you first enter the room where you meet Uriah, there is a gas tank against the back wall. Behind that tank is a small room with a computer that has a sequence of numbers on it. This is a reference to the show Lost that Gabe Newell added due to the fact that he and the creator of Lost were close friends.
