Today, October 10th 2017, marks 10 years since the release of Half-Life 2: Episode 2. Today is also the day we're announcing something exciting that's coming to LambdaGeneration soon. Rather than go on about things in an article, we created a video instead to talk about, where we've been, thoughts…

It’s been a long time… In more ways that one.
Could this be the Myst of the Source engine?
‘INFRA’ is a freshly released first-person puzzle adventure game. It was initially created as a Portal 2 modification, but became a standalone Source engine title after Steam Greenlight success in 2013.
Last month, Infra finally came out on Steam, and so far, it has received a fairly positive response from the community, including a nomination for IndieDB’s Indie of the Year Awards in December 2015. We take a quick look.
One of the original Half-Life developers, Doug Wood, has announced that he will be retiring from Valve after working for the company for almost 19 years.
If you’ve been following the Half-Life 2 modding community lately, chances are, you’ve probably heard of an upcoming game called Prospekt.
Valve are doing a ‘content showcase’ in Seattle as a ‘follow up’ to HTC’s Vive demonstration at CES 2016, running 6th – 9th January 2016.
New potential clues have emerged relating to the arctic map from the comic, which we previously covered. Scroll down to point 8 for an update on this.
So there’s a Steam ARG going on, right now.
We don’t usually hop on the Half-Life 3 conspiracy bandwagon, but this is getting a little interesting to say the least…
Earlier in the week, we gave an exclusive sneak peek at Black Mesa’s new ‘Crossfire Update‘, which rolled out officially on Steam today, just in time for the Steam Winter Sales.
In this article we give a more detailed comparison and go over what’s new.
And another update in the sack, featuring a new Mutation and some gameplay tweaks!
After missing their 2009 deadline, the Black Mesa devteam “submerged”, so to speak. Their Twitter died, their YouTube pretty much died, and while they did do an interview with Steamcast back in the summer of 2011, what little interaction they had with the community remained within the confines of their forums and their Wiki. But it seems like they’ve finally decided to wake their community manager up from hypersleep (maybe missing a big release date was too much for him), because the old PR machine’s rolling again!
It’s that time of the mo- I mean, week again!
The wacky “better models better models” mania started in 2000, when an updated zombie model was sighted in a screenshot of HL1 for the Dreamcast.
Now it’s been 10 years, and numerous mods, individual models and other tiny things have attempted to update HL’s graphics to a higher standard. Some were released, some failed, some are still in development hell (BMS and HL:Enhanced, anyone?).
However, I stumbled upon this interesting little gem. Named HL:Redux, it features numerous new models, textures and other things. Similar to “DiamonD’s Half-Life”. Redux is definitely worth checking out. Video and official site are in the “moors”.
Some more updates from PlanetPhillip. Even in the New Year, Phillip is still doing some tremendous work over at good old PP.
I took a break from sleeping and playing Red Faction (communist undertones for the win, baby) to write this.
It was that funky “5-minute sleep every something something so you sleep better” sleep too.
Now my sleep schedule is messed up.
Earlier in the week, we gave an exclusive sneak peek at Black Mesa’s new ‘Crossfire Update‘, which rolled out officially on Steam today, just in time for the Steam Winter Sales.
In this article we give a more detailed comparison and go over what’s new.
Homefront is a shooter being developed by Kaos Studios, who you might know for their rather infamous 2008 game, Frontline: Fuel of War.
Their latest effort is titled “Homefront”, and it takes place in 2027, in an alternate universe in which North Korea managed to somehow absorb most of Asia, and launch an assault on America.
It has been compared to Call of Duty, Battlefield, Mega Modern Combat Supreme, Destroy the Humens, yadda yadda, you get the idea.
But, according to the devs of the game, it has more in common with our beloved Half-Life.
