Half Life 2 turns 5
On this day, five years ago, one of the most critically acclaimed games was released: the sequel to Half Life, Half Life 2. The game was originally delayed for a year or so, after the source code was leaked and much of the game had to be rewritten. Since then, we’ve seen two expansions and a ton of mods. Half Life 2: Episode 3 is slated for release in 2010, with Half Life 3 coming in late 2012. Coolvibe has a great collection of early Half Life 2 concept art, worth checking out.

Half-Life 2: Episode Three Not Expected Anytime Soon
Freeman fans will want to kill Valve developers after they read this post: Half-Life 2: Episode Three isn’t expected to arrive for a whole… most probably 2010.
This comes from Valve marketing VP Doug Lombardi: “The next time you play as Gordon will be longer than the distance between Half-Life 2 to Episode One, and Episode One to Episode Two."
Episode One was released in June 2006, with Two following in October 2007. Half-Life 2 was released back in 2004.
Lombardi does offer one consolation, noting that the company might announce or show something by the end of the year.
Paper Dog is Too Cool
After “50 hours of modeling, cutting, glueing, and assembling” the 12-inch tall papercraft Half-life 2 Dog replica you see above, came to be.
There isn’t much more information regarding this little master peice considering it’s a 4chan posting, but judging by the intricacy and pure detail put into this, this guy isn’t messing around. All I want to know now is, where can I get one?
