The same as every year, gamers and journalists around the world gather to in LA to find out all there is to know about some of the latest gaming projects, which, of course includes the industry's top development studios and publishers. Usually, the E3 brings a few surprise announcements and next to the fresh media we've seen on the new Deus Ex game, there probably won't much to see...
Wait, what the hell am I saying? Didn't you guys hear? Almost everyone's talking about how Valve may actually announce Half-Life 3 during this year's E3. First they said, they would showcase Portal 2. Then they've canned the E3 presentation on that one. Now, all they are saying is that gamers can expect a surprise announcement. Sources are already saying it's HL3 (oh and it's not HL2: Episode Three, because Valve's Gabe Newell said it's not and his word is all you need).
Oh why does the Lord torment me so? I want Half-Life 3 dammit (well, Ep. 3 for starters):
Okay, maybe Valve doesn't need to focus on Gordon Freeman, but I sure as hell need them to focus on Gordon Freeman. It's been way too long since they've released Half-Life 2: Episode Two (and TF 2 and Protal) - one of the best gaming packages ever released.
Since they've created Left 4 Dead and their online distribution service Steam, Valve doesn't seem to give a damn about Half-Life. Something tells me they just don't have the time to work on a new HL title. And that sucks ballz!
The gaming scene could do with another Half-Life episode (preferably a full new installment - i.e. Half-Life 3). Otherwise, life's just not worth it... gaming wise, you understand.
