Valve Launches First of an Episodic Trilogy
Bellevue, WA, June 1, 2006 - Valve®, developer of the blockbuster series Half-Life® and Counter-Strike™, announced Half-Life® 2: Episode One is now available via Steamgames.com for just $19.95 and at retail outlets around the world.
The first in a trilogy of episodic games, Episode One reveals the aftermath of Half-Life 2 and launches a journey beyond City 17. Episode One does not require Half-Life 2 to play and also includes a first look at Episode Two, which will ship by year's end.
In addition to the new single player experience, two multiplayer games are included. And those who purchase Episode One will have free access via Steam (www.steamgames.com) to Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, the interactive technology demo that introduces High Dynamic Range lighting to the SourceTM Engine, Valve's award-winning game technology.
Well from all the reviews I have read it sounds like HL2 EP1 kicks some serious asssss.So there we have it 2 new episodic games (sin,ep1) and BOTH have gotten above 8 on gamespot(trusted reviews) and above 8 on ALL major sites.
Maybe marketing will take note and make these 14.99 instead..but from what I have seen, we are witnessing FIRST HAND a whole new wave of digital entertainment...
If they make All 3 EPS as good as first,it means when ALL 3 are done we have 12-20 hours of PREMIUM game here...not bad for 60 bucks...Heck I spend 50 on average and crappy games all the time!!!
bring it on Valve and STEAM thanks for bringing my favorite hobby into the 21st century.
