Half-Life 2 Episode One Delayed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the but-only-by-a-little dept.

Folks looking forward to their next fix from City 17 will have to wait a few more days than expected. The last time a release date was announced, they were aiming for April 24th. Now folks are going to have to wait for May 31st for the expansion to the hit game. From the Eurogamer article: "You're on top of an exploding building, okay, so how do you not all die. It answers a bunch of those questions. It also raises some questions about what the G-Man's real role is in the Half-Life universe, so there are some surprises there for people". Here's hoping it is worth the wait.

    Does this title make no sense to anyone else?

    Half-Life 2 has come and gone...but now we're getting Episode One? Wouldn't Episode Two be a bit more fitting.

    Jeez, do you guys need a map? He's a time-traveller pimping out his own past ass to himself and his anarchist buds from the future so shit happens the way they want. Why do you think he's going to so much trouble to make sure Gordy's always in the right place at the right time? And why he always knows where one step ahead of Gordy is?

    One tenth of the game for one fifth of the cost!

    I think I'll pass on this up and coming trend.
