PC Xbox 360 PS3

Valve released these 2 high quality videos of Half Life 2 Episode 2, showing a bit more of this highly anticipated game.
Update: Valve already released this third video, much more interesting this time.
Update 2: As expected the 4th video is now available, with the 5th and last one to be released tomorrow I guess.
Update 3: Fifth video online.

It looks very good. I guess It will be one of the best games in the first quarter next year.
I think first quarter will be the best time for xbox 360. I'm looking forward to Bioshock, Lost Planet, Assasins Creed, Alan Wake, Medal of Honor and Too human.

There's also Mass Effect remember, a whole bunch of titles to play. :)

Xbox 360, Fantastic machine.

oh and just in case you hadn't heard, this Christmas belongs to "Wii60" as the European launch of the PS3 has been delayed again, until at least March 2007!

This one reminds me of the bugs in Lost Planet, complete with yellow glowing weak spot! :D

Saw this two weeks ago or something, really old. But still awesome. The only thing I like right now are those blue bipedal things.

I seriously don't like the art direction of Half-Life. Some enemies and guns just look bloody cheap! Just look at this copy of a handicaped E.T. in video 2, that follows you crushing some bugs taken from Starship Troopers.

Behind Halo 3, this is my most anticipated title. It's a right bummer that it ain't coming out during the holiday (or, knowing Valve, February for that matter ;) .)

The number of twos in the post's title blows my mind.

yep not only did the ps3 get dropped from europe till 2007, US and Jap are getting a combined 500k units only at launch lol...

I actually love how HL2 Ep2 is shaping up it wasnt on my list of games i wanted before but it recently definitly became one, especially since the whole portal system :)

The entire Half-Life 2-triology isn't just "another FPS".
It's T-H-E FPS.
It's the definition of how the FPS-genre should look like.

If the port and the controls will be good; then we got ourselfs one of the best-spent hours in our short lifes, for a cheap price.

Don't complain... and btw, don't forget Portals and Team Fortress 2 ;)

Thanks for these. By the way Blim, do you have any higher-quality pics of the DMC4 scans?

I wish that after half life 2, they would have started half life 3 and not released anything up until 3. These Episodes are kindof lame i think. But the idea that you get HL2, EP1, EP2, team fotress, and the other thing, is pretty sweet.

Imean, IDK if its me or what, but i know that the upgrade from HL2 to HL2: Lost Coast, was barely noticeable, aside from minimal normal mapping, and HDR. To me, this game isnt improving enough. Each Episode that comes out should have better and better graphics.
