Legend of Zelda 64: Oricana (sp) of Time got a perfect 10 from nearly every reviewer (even the hardasses at Famitsu - only perfect 10 ever by them)
I expect the new GC Zelda (not Wind Waker) to get a 10 as well.
I've still got ALL of them in one neat little folder on my desktop.
No doubt, I will delete them after the HL-2 is installed and ready to play on my rig.
How much marketing do you think Half-Life 2 really needs? It's already got a HUGE fanbase that will buy it even without seeing any ads whatsoever.
All you need is some posters and maybe a big cardboard "standup" display for the uninformed and that's it.
Really, if Doom 3 didn't need a...
My friend is a internal game-tester for THQ.
He tested titles such as Full Spectrum Warrior and Scooby Doo for GameBoy (lol, poor guy) RC's for a couple of months some times.
Right now, he's working crazy 18 hour shifts to rush some game out the door. He said they have shifts working...
While I agree that uncompressed the files could possibly be less than 3 gigs worth of data. Why would Valve make the files bigger than necessary? They wouldn't want to waste the bandwidth.

Uncompressed that's probably close to 4 gigs of data. That's 5 CD's worth of data. I think we've got everything except for maps and complete engine code. We've...
The best I can remember the delays were...
9/30/2003 -> "HOLIDAYS" -> "SPRING" -> "SUMMER" -> "FALL"
I feel the way Valve has handled the whole thing is a joke really. Even if they got hacked, they didn't keep us in the loop whatsoever for months on end after 9/30. It was just wrong...
Funny sh*t. Let me give it a whirl.

This just in from SHACKNEWS, who have spoken to Valve's marketing director Doug Lombardi about the status of Valve's highly anticipated killer app Half Life 2.

Um, sorry but the ragdolls in Source are THE best I've seen in any game.
For example Far Cry had decent ragdolls, and Source seems way more realistic. I've seen very realistic senarios in CS:S. Stuff like getting shot against a wall and slowly sinking down, with your knees bendng...
