constitutes fair use under United States copyright law. Other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

[edit] Fair use rationale

Rationale for the fair use of this image in the article Half-Life 2: Episode One

The cover is used to represent a well-known and significant computer game.
This image has been used in several websites, and so use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is.
The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the game.
The image does not limit Valve Corporation's ability to sell the game.
