Computer And Video Games has a story up based on one of their sometimes
accurate anonymous sources saying that Half-Life 2 has been submitted to the Pan
European Games Information age rating system and subsequently the
British Board of Film Classification for
certification, this rumor lending further support to other rumors
(story) that the shooter sequel's gold announcement is imminent.
According to their "industry insider" Vivendi considers the game done, and that
a November release is "extremely likely."
