Half-Life 2 Coverage Appearing

Posted by simoniker on from the agonisingly-slow-disclosure dept.

scottcha+4 writes "When it was released in November 1998, Half-Life redefined the action gaming genre by combining fast-paced action and an intelligent, intense story. Players quickly began clamoring for a sequel, but developer Valve Software responded with silence. Five years later, the call for that sequel is as loud as ever. Get the details via this CNN story." The CNN coverage has a couple of amazing-looking screenshots and some brief details, but there's going to be a whole lot more after magazines like this arrive in stores and the press embargo is fully lifted.

    Half-Life 2 == Whole Life, but "Life" was already taken by a cellular automata game, and "Whole Life" sounded too insurance-oriented.

    Is this section hidden from the majority of users? This is the first time I've seen the "games" section (in all of its purple and black glory), and the 3 previous articles have < 10 comments on them. What gives?
