Another note for HL2; the LOD meshes are approximately 60% of the polycount of the LOD above them.

So, while Alyx is ~8k and the high-res GMan is ~10k, they have several (I think Alyx has 7) LOD models to them that cuts the polycount down severely the further they are away from the camera. A lot of the other meshes in HL2 have 3 or 4 levels of detail to them.
