Welcome to another edition of TwitchGuru's screenshot previews. Today in the line-up we have the Half-Life 2 expansion, Aftermath, the World War 2-athon that is Battlestations:Midway and the Civilization spin-off that is the city building CivCity: Rome.

Half-Life 2: Aftermath

The name doesn't ring a bell, but the face is familiar.

The Combine is back. Valve's upcoming Half-Life 2: Aftermath is a new episode that extends the Half-Life 2 single player story. Players once again find themselves in the shoes of Dr. Gordon Freeman in an adventure that picks up after the events of Half-Life 2 in City 17 and the Citadel.

It's Attack of the Clones!

Yes, they do indeed look like Storm Troopers from Star Wars. Sure, the suits look scary, especially with those ominous Cyclops-like red eyes, but they're no match for Freeman HEV suit. At least, we hope not.

I'm much better looking that a spectacled, goatee-sporting scientist!

In Half-Life 2: Aftermath, Freeman once again teams up with Alyx Vance and her robot, Dog, which is great because Half-Life 1 sure was lonely without a sidekick and Vance is easy on the eyes. Half-Life 2: Aftermath is expected to arrive next month.
