...little more than a month ago, insiders were saying the Dean movement had all the resonance of a temper tantrum. Even activist Democrats, the line went, would eventually come to their senses and realize that this antiwar one-noter from liberal Vermont was out of synch with the politics of a post-9/11 world. And what about the Internet-driven rabble that packs his events, those 68,000 who have signed up for yet another of Dean's "Meetup" events at 340 spots across the country this Wednesday?

The makers of this follow-up to 1998's hugely popular sci-fi horror Half Life border on the obsessive-compulsive with their attention to detail: human faces with more than 40 working muscles; characters that lip-synch their lines no matter what language they are speaking; objects like mattresses and wooden frames that, when shot, explode and shatter in the precise directions you'd expect. The plot involves a hostile alien takeover of the strangely named human habitation City 17, but that, like all the clever physics...
