Celebrating 10 Years Of Half-life

Is it really? It's zoomed by, none of this around you would even have existed had Half-life not had such a huge impact! Even more incredible is that Valve is now offering Half-Life for just 98 cents in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the company's debut title. This offer extends till 21st November.

Also be sure to check out this great timeline of 'The History of Valve' Planet Half-life have put together, it's a really good read - HERE

Lastly, Moddb has put together a nice article summing up the journey too, but also a run down of their top 5 unofficial Half-life mods, Natural Selection topping their list - see here

Jesus I first played the game in 2002 and that seems like ages ago, I can't imagine for those playing since the release.

January 10, 2008 ? [...]and that Half-Life 2: Episode Three will take longer than the previous two episodes to develop because it will be a much longer, much more epic game than any installment prior, and that in no uncertain terms it will be the conclusion to the Half-Life series as we know it, tying up all of the loose ends.
Wait, what? Where was the original source for this?

We should get some news for Episode 3 by now, anything. Whether they quit making it or they are working hard at it. We deserve it.

I don't care if it's not our birthday >_>.

I read that somewhere too. He basically said Episode 3 will not be the end of the Half-Life series, no joke

Nice timeline... Doom 3 being a tough competition for Half life 2? Nonsense, it was never really at the same level with half life 2, it was nice and all, but nowhere near acclaimed as much as HL2. A little more info on the release of hl2 to equal up with the info on hl1 release would've been nice. The point that "many people were having problems with steam when hl2 came out" was brought up a billion times, and come on, it wasn't THAT BAD, only a few people had that trouble... LONG LIVE THE HALF LIFE SERIES!

Honestly, who woulda thought that the 2 best games created would be in the same franchise...

Episode 3 will be the end of Gordon's saga, IIRC.

Valve has said that his adventures will continue beyond Ep.3
