Gordon is ranked number 14 on UGO's 'Top 100 Heroes of All Time'. As a means of immersing the player in the role, the character never speaks, and there are no cut-scenes or mission briefings - all action is viewed through Gordon's eyes, with the player retaining control of Gordon's actions at nearly all times. Throughout the series, Gordon must prevail in hostile situations despite overwhelming odds, usually without backup. He is a physicist who finds himself thrust into a battle for survival against hostile alien forces. Gordon Freeman is a fictional character, the main protagonist of the Half-Life video game series.
