Anyone else notice how heavily HL2 seems to have been influenced by Orwell's 1984 and Terry Gilliam's movie Brazil ?
SPOILERS
From the propoganda, the screens with Dr. Breen, the resistance, the almost communist-like nature of the city, the look of the Combine soldiers...it's all very much like Orwell's dystopian novel. If you haven't read 1984 or seen Brazil, I highly recommend it.
