Whoa.  Maybe you need to be a little more open minded as to when someone can love another.  To me, there's no age limit for love.  Except for anyone under 18 in most places; that's illegal. "

16 here in Florida.  Wait, what? "

I'd guess Alyx is somewhere between 25-29 years old. And 10-15 years ISN'T a huge age gap, really.

Gordon was either in has late 20s or early 30s in HL1 so he and Alyx are around about the same age.

" @august: Oh ok. I could never figure out how old Gordon was. "

like 35 or 40 he looks alot older than someone in there 20s

I guess having a beard and glasses makes you look old, but yeah he's 27.

  @ 2:50.  Mae sure you have the res/screen up high enough you can read the text. "

@august:
Nice one! Thanks!

No prob, guys. Valve games are cryptic as hell, which it makes it easy to forget/miss stuff. But in a world of fifteen minute long cutscenes, I'm glad they're around.

Here is a great timeline of the Half-life series, including Portal.

Y'know it was up to the community how the Gordon/Alyx thing progressed, there was warmth between them in HL2, sure - but it was only into the episodes when Valve actively sought feedback on the direction of that relationship that they started getting closer.

It is hinted throughout the game that Alyx likes Gordon will all the flirting and shyness when her father jokes about them both, but ya, Gordon is 27 because he was put into statis by G-man between Half life 1 and Half life 2 which was 20 years and it is suspected that he didn't age, and Alyx would be in her early 20s.
