Codename: Gordon is a singleplayer side view platform and shooter game developed by Nuclearvision Entertainment and published by Valve Corporation. Originally developed as a Half-Life 2 fan project, the game was later officially endorsed by Valve.
Codename: Gordon was released for free via Steam on May 17, 2004.[1] The game was set to receive an additional update introducing a second bonus game and several enhancements, but it was cancelled by early 2005.[2][3] The game's Steam page was taken down in 2008, due to cybersquatting of the Nuclearvision web domain embedded in the game's menu screen following the developer's collapse.
Codename: Gordon is still downloadable from Steam content servers via a protocol command.
