Half-Life 2 Expansion Due!

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

Valve Software is currently developing the first expansion to the popular Half-Life 2 PC game, the GameSpot Web site reported. The company will produce the game, titled Half-Life 2: Aftermath, internally rather than outsourcing to another studio as it did with the expansions of the previous game.

I'm going to do a happy dance now.
:woohoo:
(Here's hoping it doesn't take 6 more years!)

1. Great News

"The new game will take place immediately after the conclusion of Half-Life 2, and will once again feature the character Gordon Freeman, with a possible expanded role for Freeman's female sidekick, Alyx, the site said. An official announcement with more details and a release date is expected in the coming weeks."

I'll join you in the happy dance!
:woohoo:

2. So Alyx didn't die.

Thanks for blowing THAT surprise, VALVe. We didn't know that answer at the end of HL2.

GEEZ, they need a new publicist. I mean, really.

3. Doh! I didn't even realize that until just now...

Oh well. I didn't think she died, all evidence to the contrary...I figured there'd be much more...Valve didn't create these relatively complex characters without planning to explore them in more detail.
At least, I hope not.
