Update: Marc has directly confirmed his retirement with us and many others. The future of Half-life will be with someone else. Although unconfirmed, user @TeddyWolf posted an email exchange with Valve writers Marc Laidlaw which states Marc as having retired from Valve and that "My time working...

Rarely are we treated these days with many Half-life 2 mods worth writing home about, however Transmissions: Element 120 is certainly one worth your time if you're looking for a bit of Half-life to play. The mod is pretty short but you should get a good hour out of it, all in the faithful...

As Valve fans we've come accustomed to these kind of interviews where much is said but you never really get solid cast answers you might hope from the questions posited. Nonetheless, an hour with Gabe Newell & Erik Johnson is worth listening to, just to get into the mindset of what is happening...

You might remember back some time ago that the German consumer watchdog group (VZBV) issued Valve a warning over changes to the Steam EULA back in 2012. It's the second time the issue has gone to the regional court of Berlin, and again the lawsuit has been dismissed. The VZBV leaned on the...

We thought not much more info would materialise for the long cancelled Half-Life Episode 4 or Return to Ravenholm as it was also known. However, we've been sent more examples of content produced for the game by Arkane Studios. It's interesting to see that Arkane intended to put their own stamp...

Tomorrow will see the highly acclaimed Half-life 2 Episode 1 mod, Minerva officially appear on Steam. Adam Foster, the creator of Minerva, was hired by Valve shortly after releasing the mod to critical acclaim back in 2007. With the help (and nagging) of his colleagues at Valve, Adam is...

The memorable Xenian sound dog from Half-life 1 has reappeared on Valve's horizon in the form of a courier for Dota 2. As with all couriers in Dota 2, the Houndeye has a walking and flying model, the latter of which does look a little ridiculous. For those of you hoping this is a Half-life 3...
