I was more annoyed by the Mr Benn approach - As if by magic the Head-crab  
zombies appeared. Then again the scripted events in HL2 are getting tired  
especially the second time around - ran around as much as like with no  
enemies until you step in the magic area/pull the lever at which point you  
get a Mr Benn.

Hmm shotgun for the speedy little sods, grav-gun plus HE barrels (minding  
you don't hit Alyx) for the others. Don't head for the lift until it's  
down, then run for it; the speedy ones will get to you anyway and there  
seems to be more slow-walkers closer to the lift.
