By ValveÃ¢Â€Â™s estimation it would take 18 years to complete the work on Half-Life 3

hmmm, maybe that explains DNF development time. Well then only 7 more years to go!!!

Alyx isnÃ¢Â€Â™t invincible, however, so youÃ¢Â€Â™ll still need to protect her.

Ah, crap, * ICAN'TLEAVEWITHOUTMYBUDDYSUPERFLY'D *

She seemed to have a ridiculous amount of hit points, but if youÃ¢Â€Â™re not careful she will die and youÃ¢Â€Â™ll have to start a section over again.

Oh, that's better. Hopefully her health regenerates so you're not caught at a point where she has 2 health 66% into the game. I remember a section of CoD:UO where I kept dying for a half hour because Sgt. Moody kept getting killed from having low health. I had to load a save from 10 minutes back and try again.

Hilarity will surely ensue from mod-maker access to commentary tracks... :)

I'm a little disappointed they included that shot of breen in this article. Plus the whole marketing around Alyx really cheapens the HL2 ending, I think.

That said, looks and sounds badass... can't wait to play it. I might not stay up all night, play into the wee hours of the morning, and take the day off from work on this one like I did HL2... but looking forward regardless :)

man they should never have said '4-6' hours. companies are always inflating their playtime, so 4-6 hours really means 2-4 hours. :(
