Alyx Vance is-a nice, maybe she gets her own game?

She may be too much to be contented remaining in the shadows of Freeman; Valve’s Gabe Newell revealed to IGN that they might be thinking about a Half-Life spin-off revolving around Half-Life 2 (PS3, PC, Xbox 360) sidekick Alyx Vance. And Dog.

We’d like to do games that are about Alyx. We’d like to do games that are about Dog. I don’t think we’ve made this decision that it’s always going to be you playing Gordon in the first-person with Alyx as a companion…

Obviously having Alyx as the player character breaks the “silent protagonist” mold of Half-Life – unless Valve mutes her, of course – but it does allow the devs to explore other parts of the Half-Life universe. A lot of the Half-Life universe. Like, what the heck really happened in that Seven-Hour War?

Of course, this might still be in the future; Valve’s just begun with Episode Three after all.
