E3 - Game Sites Get Hands-On With Half Life 2

Posted by simoniker on from the hype-the-funk dept.

metrazol writes "Over at GameSpy, they have a first hands-on preview of much anticipated, speculated, flamed, leaked sequel Half-Life 2. Hint: They love it." There's also a preview at GameSpot, and another over at IGN PC - elsewhere, The Inquirer notes that "ATI will bundle [Valve-developed] Counter Strike 2 with its X800PRO/XT cards", and CNN Money interviews the new President of Half-Life 2 publishers VU Games, who says Half-Life 2 is "still realistic" for a 2004 release (Valve are now saying that "the game should be out by this summer"), and argues: "The PC is far more profitable for us than the console... you're not playing platform fees to manufacturers, for one thing."

    As can be seen from the screenshot at gamespy, there is a funky green man in the corner. He looks a bit like a spy. Personally, I think it detracts from the aesthetics.

      Prior to checking your link and getting the yoke, I was thinking you were refering to one of these conspicuos green men.
