Half Life 2: Episode 3 Viral Video?


Update: It has been cracked! For those interested: check out all the dope.

Could this be a Valve viral for Half Life 2: ep 3 or is this just some crazy good dutch film students early demo real? It’s probably the latter but…one can dream! I mean, how did a film student get to block off those streets and get use of an empty bus? In any case, it freakin’ rocks.

They Shoot Red Barrels, Don’t They?: A Dissertation on How FarCry 2 May Change the Way We Play Games

Halo 3: Recon


Halo 3: Recon is the new expansion for Halo 3 set for release next fall for the xbox 360. You’re a UNSC Recon Marine set to wipe out the bad bad alien invasion. Lets hope our own society lasts until next fall or we will be playing this in our fallout shelters run off generators as we woof down our supply of dried fruit and cans of Ensure.

  • “It will be a standalone disc sold in stores in boxes next Fall. It’s also going to include some multiplayer maps.”
  • “It is a first-person shooter still … It’s not a squad-based shooter.”
  • “As an ODST, compared to playing as in invulnerable Spartan, you are going to have to sort of pick and choose your encounters a little bit differently.”
  • “It is going to very much feel like Halo. Full feature parity.”
