Half-Life 2 Review Coming Soon

Just a quick update to let you all know that there will be a more official review of Half-Life 2 coming soon. Right now I am working on getting caught up in all my classes (missed a couple last week for… “sickness” or something).

The short review: A++++

A longer review will be forthcoming and I will update this post when it is ready. In the meantime, get Steam and play the game.

Just When…

Just when I had my mind up to buy the Collector’s Edition of Half-Life 2 (to get it on a DVD, of course), Valve comes up with their super duper ultra mega HL2 deal that supposedly also includes a “Half-Life Collector’s box.”

I think I have changed my mind and will buy HL2 off Steam. My strength to resist is failing… help me…

Oh yeah, where’s HL2?

September 30th

Well apart from some progress, Half-Life 2 is now over a year late. That is kind of saddening.

As we all can read for ourselves, Vivendi could sit on HL2 for up to six months. Would it be wise for them to do so? No way. We need the game, and Valve and Vivendi need the revenue. To delay the game any further at this point would be futile. Let Valve and Vivendi work out their dispute in court over Steam, and let Half-Life 2 free. They don’t have enough legal mumbo jumbo in their case to warrant a delay of one of the most-anticipated games of all time.
