Half-Life 2 will be released this year

looks like good stuff!

"Half-Life 2 will be shown at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo.

So all these wacky rumors should be cleared up by May 14th.

[Equally]Gamer.nl has publicly leaked two bits of information: the first is that the magazine embargo ends on April 28th, so magazines can publish their Half-Life 2 articles after this date. It's already been shown to certain members of the press.

They also leaked the big news we hinted at before: Half-Life 2 will be released this year.

It should also be noted that this is pretty much the first official mention of Half-Life 2's existence from Valve."
