LOS ANGELES (October 18, 2004) – Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games) today announced that Half-Life® 2, the sequel to one of the most critically acclaimed PC titles in gaming history, will ship to retail outlets around the world in November. The Company confirmed that Half-Life 2, developed by Valve Software, has gone gold with a planned retail street date of November 16, 2004.

“Half-Life 2 has surpassed our expectations in every sense – its high-quality graphics, ground-breaking physics and immersive first-person shooter gameplay set a new standard for PC action games,” said Bruce Hack, CEO of VU Games. “Half-Life 2 will go down as one of the best-selling PC titles, and we are thrilled to deliver this ground-breaking title to the worldwide gaming community this fall.”
How can you say that the HL2 graphics are not awe-inspiring?
Because the HL2 engine wasn't made by John Carmack you idiot, so it has to be inferior on some level.
and the HL2 engine can actually do big outdoor scenes.
Did you not see the PC-Gamer review of Quake 4 with all the big outdoor scenes? WTF?
No doubt ANY gameplay would be better than the steaming pile that was Doom 3.
Steaming Pile? Doom 3 was a masterpiece. It was dark, fun, spooky, dark, sometimes scary, and dark.
Yeah, it sucked because it is a CONSOLE GAME. Go buy a brain. PC Gamer is a trash mag since their last editor left, and no one takes them seriously anymore.
BS, there are a lot of good console games. And PC Gamer should just get you to write their reviews, and then they would be a respectable mag again.
Yeah PC Gamer sold out a long time ago. Doesn't take Albert Einstein to figure that out. Your sig speaks volumes about you toad.
Just shutup about PC Gamer until you come out with your own gaming magazine. I know, my signature like signifies my like infinite like wisdom that I like have, or some junk.
And you need to get a life if you think getting 300 posts is that important.
You just keep telling yourself that I need to get a life toad, when you are the one arguing with me.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
