I despise slashdot, but I had to get that in there for the good of the PR brotherhood...

r00fles. I love the little "Monse touch" you added to the announcement. ^_^

Gosh MonsE, I was wrong. Weird. Maybe I should lay off all this sunnyD and ritalin...?
What am I saying, I never said he was wrong...

I'm hoping thats a typo, and Tommy isn't a euphemism....

Yes, MonsE, one of the biggest money-spinners and most popular games ever, and they make no sequels to cash in? That makes sense.

I dunno, kids today.

Now I have to sell a kidney to buy a rig capable of running it. Gah.

Mabey I should have said In game screenshots.
With all this info about Half-Life 2 running around, I'm too distracted to do my math homework. I don't like Math homework. Especially when it gets in the way of HALF-LIFE 2 NEWS!

What if those pics on the covers ARE in game screenshots?? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Methinks this games gonna be overhyped... One of the great things about the first one was that it was released to almost no hype whatsoever so there was no chance of having your hype bubble burst once you got to play it. When i got to play HL1 for the first time I was blown away by it because I was not expecting it to do so.

I remember upgrading my system to play the original half life (meaning I bought a video card for a computer that didnt have one, yes young ones, games could be ran without video cards so many years ago)

Another stupid answer from you, Burr! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

IMO Gordon looks more hot. (dont even think about it!) <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'>

Align · April 2003

That head doesn't fit with the HEV suit really, it looks pasted on(even though it isn't)... + Gordon clearly has a long neck.

PC Gamer HL2 mag scan or a load of bs?
we shall see.....

Evil_Timmy · April 2003

It's got the nastiness that can only come from an old scanner...I'd guess it's legit.

And, NS team...when can we expect a port? *rubs hands greedily*

SkinnY · April 2003

Is it me or does Gordon look more sad... ? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

DrSuredeath · April 2003

Dude, you graduated from MIT. You worked in a top research facility. One day, the project you were in charged destroyed the whole damn state. Marines were looking to kill you. Aliens were invading the Earth partly dued to your faults. All of your colleagues are probably dead. Then you got transported to this dark aliens world with these huge giants shooting hornets.

... and stuck in this ugly bulk orange metal suit, nonetheless.

You want him to run around singing or something?

UPDATE: We had to pull these scans at PC Gamer's request.

I hate to editorialize here, but I think giving Half-Life 2 "exclusives" to print magazines first wasn't exactly the smartest move. Who the hell reads 'em anymore? Circulation numbers are way down, you can get the same kind of content online more quickly and for free, and when mags do get a rare scoop, scans ALWAYS leak out. I'm sure you'll be able to find complete scans of the article elsewhere very shortly.

So instead of presenting nice, clean screenshots and well written articles to the online fans, the most hardcore fans of the game, we instead get lots of rumors, speculation, and horrible low-quality scans
