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."

    I would like to condemn that non star trek friendly person who modded me down. May you be struck down by the borg you uncouth individual. I wish a thousand klingon curses on you and your federation. My tricorder has a button to kill people like you.

      Riker: Captain, were where you during that last Klingon assault?
      Picard: i was in the Latrine seeing to my Captain's log
      Riker: i see, well, while you where off doing that we had to circle around Uranus to wipe out those Klingons
      Picard: its seems to me you did a very good job of that, theres almost no dis-comfort at all here
      Riker: yes, we managed to Flush them out of the sector, hopefully they won't be making anymore suprise visits
      Picard: yes, that would be dreadful, espessially if the Vulcan ambasador was nearby
      Riker: i wonder if the Vulcans have a Klingon problem
      Picard: i'm sure they would have though out a Logical solution to that #1
      Riker: yes, they do have those new Double-ply Photon Torpedos, twice the strength, half the mess
      Picard: i'll be sure to remember that the next time i fill out my Log, and i'll have to get starfleet to send us some
      Riker: good idea sir
      Picard: well, i'll be in my quarters, i can already feel another Log entry coming on and i think it'll be a long one
      Riker: great, and we'll watch for Klingons
