In the original game, you play a theoretical physicist named Gordan Freeman who works at the government sponsored experimental lab, Black Mesa, somewhere in the desert in Nevada or Arizona. A portal experiment goes wrong (was actually sabotaged) and connects the portal with a planet on the far side of the universe which ends up sending a ton of aliens into the Black Mesa lab where tons of the scientists are killed. Gordon takes it upon himself to fix the problems, ends up going into the portal to the other planet and defeats the alien leader. Etc. etc. At the end, the government guy kind of infers that the whole thing had been set up by "someone." Gordon gets put into a trance in like space and ends there.
At the beginning of 2, he wakes up to find out it's been like 15 years since he was knocked out and aliens had used the portal to come to Earth and take it over.
I would explain more and in more detail, but my girlfriend is waiting and I gotta go!!
