Newest Half-Life 2 Movies Impress

Thanks to several readers for pointing to the release of a second trailer ('The Docks') from Half-Life 2, via Valve's Steam content delivery system, as well as via GamersHell, IGN, 3D Gamers, and the obligatory BitTorrent link, courtesy GameTab. This follows the first movie, named 'G-Man,' that was posted a couple of days back -- all of these new Bink-encoded executable movies are direct-feed parts of the large shakycam E3 movie we mentioned a few weeks back.

Yeah great movies but there are some DIVX movies out there.

You could check this 160MEG Divx movie over here:
Half-Life 2 Gameplay Video - Registration Required!

Great marketing there Valve

Valve sure knows how to publicise this product well.
Releasing heaps of high-quality video every so often and using their Steam service to distribute it (which gets a heck of a lot of CS beta players (and people who were too cheap to buy HL 5 years ago)).

Valve have stolen the spotlight from Doom3 and will impress everybody, no matter what id software pulls from it's magical hat.

I just hope that id isn't dumb enough to release D3 at the same time that Valve releases HL2 (which they hinted at last yeat). In a 1v1, there is no competition.

They have. And it looks awesome. It's just that, frankly. The Half-Life 2 stuff looks MORE awesome, and is overshadowing it.
