Half Life 3: 10 Reasons It Must Be Made Now

Ah Half Life. Is there a sweeter sound than those two words? I remember being late to the party initially; Half Life had been out a good few years when I first played it. It had been out so long in fact that Half Life 2 was well on the way. In many ways though, I€™m glad it happened that way. The wait between HL and HL2 was supposedly agonizing for day-one fans; it was a phenomenon I thankfully avoided. Once I€™d had my mind sufficiently blown by Gordon Freeman€™s original exploits, I only had weeks to wait for his second outing. But I€™ve been up to date since then. I played Episode 1 on day one; I played Episode 2 on day one. And then€I waited. I waited and waited; I checked Google; I waited some more; I re-played the games then I checked Google again before waiting once again. And we€™re still waiting. Valve have been extremely tight-lipped about why we€™re waiting, but with no third full instalment on the shelves as yet, wait is all we can really do. But don€™t for a second mean that out of sight means out of mind.Half Life is still Valve€™s most hotly anticipated upcoming product, and whether or not it€™s our soon or it€™s mysterious release is still way off, when it finally does drop, I bet even the Steam servers will struggle to cope with the volume of day one downloads. I€™m of the belief that we€™ve waited long enough; in fact, I can, and never have been, able to contain my excitement about the next HL game. If you know me or ever meet me in real life and don€™t want me to steamroll over the conversation with my own theories and opinions, then don€™t start a Half Life conversation with me. It€™ll only end in your boredom. But since I€™ve got myself a nice little outlet here at WhatCulture!, why not join me as I investigate 10 reasons why Half Life 3 must get itself made, and soon!
