HalfLIfe 2 Release Date

The date for the release of Half Life 2 was set today, as of Nov 16, the whole world will be stareing at their pc's thinking, whow, how did they come up with this? But again, that's wat id had counted on for Doom 3, and it didn't do as well as they had hoped eh? Not bad, definatly, but not the ground shaking turnout they had hoped for... at least the computer industry enjoyed a little time with it, considering half the geek population of america upgraded their PC's just for the game, which is a DEFINATE bonus to Valve and the HL2 team, since their game will run on all that hardware just fine.

Another "look forward to" game is also comming soon, San Andreas from Rockstar, which is out October 26, just about time for me to be back home in buffalo, so I'll miss all the release fun, but que-serah, maybe I'll score a discount when I go to get it. Past that, I'm more excited by this than HL2, although both will definatly get some attention time as I get to them. I'll be modding my PS2 just for this one tho, shiney new mod case, memory card and new controler just to make the experience more exciting, perhaps a CC light to make things interesting, but we'll see.

Lastly, the game of the hour seems to be Katamari Damacy, which is the new puzzle game from japan... in it, you play the son of a king in tight pants (the king that is, not our hero) who must collect junk to replace the stars in the sky... I'll be getting this for the wife to see how it plays, and hopefully to get her back interested in gaming, of which she's been slow getting to lately. It has created quite the buzz on the gameing circles and will be keeping people rolling over cows and school busses for many years to come it seems. Again We'll See...
