The thing I love about Half-Life 2's facial animation system is all those subtle little movements, like Alyx raising an eyebrow just a little bit or almost unnoticeably quirking a corner of her mouth. It gives characters so much life. The eye movements are marvelously done as well.

And it's not only the moving faces, it's the whole subtle changes of posture. Like Alyx feeling a bit embarrassed after telling what she feels is a bad joke (the Zombines moment in Episode 1).
