Half-Life 2 Finally Activated

Posted by timothy on from the this-is-a-video-game-apparently dept.

Thomas Scovell writes "After over half a decade of development, stolen source code debacle, a promised deadline that was missed by a year, and a feud between the developer and the publisher that is still in court, Half-Life 2 has finally started to activate for those who have purchased online via Steam online or who grabbed the boxed version at the retailers that let it slip early. Go play!" Reviews are available via Gamespot, Gamespy, HomeLAN Fed, and IGN.

    So instead of responsible of killing hundreds or thousands he is responsible of killing just a few. I think that is good.
