If you were expecting the latest episode in Valve's mighty Half Life 2 series to appear soon, then you might want to think again, with the developer claiming that Half Life 2: Episode 3 would NOT be ready for release in 2010.
The awful news comes from the latest issue of US mag Game Informer, which carries a report that clearly states that there isn't going to be a Half-Life release at all this year.
The third chapter
The third chapter of the Half Life 2 series will be the follow-up to Episode Two, which was released way back in 2007, as a stand-alone release and bundled in as part of Valve's awesome The Orange Box for PC, 360 and PS3.
TechRadar recently announced that The Orange Box was our game of the noughties. Last year, Valve's Gabe Newell said that development on Episode Three was ongoing, but would not be drawn further on details.
We can only hope that Valve will be attending this year's E3 2010 in June. And we pray that we get more concrete news on the new Half Life 2 game before then.

2. I have to agree caimbeul this is very long even by Valve's crazy standards.
I think the only piece of mind is that it is a Valve project which pretty much guaruntees it is going to be absolutely exquisite in quality.
Otherwise I would have given up by now but then we did wait ten years for Starcraft 2 so...

1. As much as i love the HL2 games, come on! that will be 4 years to make an episode of content. Unless is sports hour upon of gameplay, a new DX11 and other wizardy I cant se how they can justify it.
