Half Life 2: Episode 3 Supposed Leaked Concept Art Appears on Fansite
The Half-Life rumour mill is turning again but this time with pictures!
ValveTime.net. You can check out the full set of stills here. The artwork itself is certainly in keeping stylistically with the actual Half-Life 2 and Episode 2 concept art weve seen in the past and its definitely of a high enough standard that this could feasibly be genuine leaked artwork. 
Of course that doesnt act as proof; there are plenty of artists out there capable of producing work of this standard and happen to be Half-Life fans. The posting naturally insists that the art is real; the comments however are very much split down the middle. This could be a genuine leak of course. It could also be a clever viral marketing ploy from Valve in order to cultivate a palpable buzz leading up to their next flagship release. More likely though is that the stills are convincing fakes. The fact that the gallery states the concept art is circa. 2008 leads me to believe that wed have seen them way before four years after their creation. In all likelihood this is a clever hoax, possibly designed specifically to draw traffic to ValveTime.net. But hey, I wouldnt be too ticked off if that were the case. Theyve served a purpose either way; were talking about Episode 3 again and were reminded that one day soonthe last free man will grace our monitors again Head over to ValveTime.net and make your own mind up whether they're real or not.
