The Crowbar Returns - HL2 Aftermath
Kimi writes "1UP is running a week's worth of coverage on Valve; content includes Aftermath, Lost Coast, Day of Defeat, Sin Episodes, Garry's Mod, Half-Life 2 Xbox, and an exclusive interview with Gabe Newell. Be sure to check out the kickass cover image, which was designed using assistance of the Garry's Mod community." From the subsite frontpage: "It all started with a tram ride into unknown catastrophe. With the release of Half-Life in 1998, Valve put themselves on the map as the undisputed saviors of PC gaming. For 1UP's second-ever cover story, we team up with sister-magazine Computer Gaming World and go behind Valve's iron curtains to get an exclusive sneak peek at Half-Life 2: Aftermath, the latest chapter in their Half-Life saga. "
I finally bought HL2 on Friday (even though my Windows machine is dead at the moment). I had been waiting for the price to come down. Friday, it was "on sale" for $50 at FredMeyer; it was $45 at Target. Then I went to WalMart, where it was $29.86. "Gotta be a mistake", I thought to myself, "but I'm definitely getting it now." Remind me to go back to WM and check the price later this week.
