Half Life 3: Where Art Thou

   Half-Life 2 was released in 2004, and was instantly one of my favorite games ever. So you can imagine my joy when they announced the release of 3 mini sequels. While the 3 titles would be shorter than an average game, they were compensating that by releasing them  in short succession. Or so they said.

   Half-Life 2: Episode One came out in 2006. I was thrilled when it did, and quickly played though it in no time, which was fine, it was expected. I assumed we would see Episode Two within 6-8 months, after all thats is pretty much what they claimed. But, I was wrong, it would be over a year until we would get our hands on some new  Half-Life content. Well, whatever that was fine, I guess a little over a year isn't too bad of a wait. Besides I'm sure they were busy with their new titles  Team Fortress 2, Portal, and, Left 4 Dead. But god damnit, it has been 4 years since we have seen any new content.

   I can only assume (and hope)  that  Half-Life 2: Episode Three, has been scrapped, in favor for an entire full sequel. Because if after 4 years, I get some 2 hour long game, I am going to be super pissed.

   I also found this Xbox 360 case mod, which is pretty cool but... if you're playing Half-Life on a console, then you're doing it wrong.

    Probably one of the greatest story lines ever put into a game.

    Half-life 2 was excellent, even though I played counterstrike source far more.

    I never got episode one, I thought half-life 3 would be around the corner. It's been so long I'm not sure I'll even buy Half-life 3, with so many other good titles coming out I think they missed their chance.

    I would love to see a sequel though.

    Intriguing blog, good content. Followed.

    With each passing month I just get angrier and angrier. And what sucks is, as good as Episode Three will probably be, the payoff won't be worth it unless its as long as a full length game.

    Whatever happened to Half-Life: Decay?
