It's clearly the Half-Life series, but I'm not sure if it's Half-Life 2 or if it's Episode 1.

Although to my understanding (HL spoilers - better safe than sorry),
Freeman did close the portal at the end of the first game. The Combine opened up their own portal, after the fact, when the initial portal opening - or the Nihilanth dying, I forget which - tipped them off to Earth's existence

That is my fault, It is half life 2 "and" the episodes in one feel swoop.
He technically didn't create the portal but I still see him as responsible since the combine simply used the explosion he caused as a catalyst.

also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life_2

During Half-Life, the scientists at the game's Black Mesa Research Facility cause an interdimensional instability, known in the series as a resonance cascade, which Gordon tries to resolve. However, by killing the overlord of the attacking "border-world", Xen, Gordon unwittingly widens the dimensional rift, which leads to disasters on Earth.

Some time after the ending of Half-Life, this instability attracts the attention of the Combine, and they invade.

Also... guys, can any of you help me out and do one for the Final Fantasy games? Those plots can be pretty convoluted...

"A group of sexy heroes attempt to stop a villain's plan to use crystals in opening an interdimensional elevator that will allow an ancient, advanced entity to destroy the world."

I'm not sure but I think it's Final Fantasy 8.

Oh man, that game has one of the most stupid, convoluted plots ever.
