One Hell Of A Secret Exclusive

[DEATH eVADER]

Well I just bought PCGAMER UK, and flicked the pages while I tried the UT2004 Mods on the disk. Anyway on August 5, the next issue comes out. On the last page is shows the types of demos, features and reviews. On next months reviews. A game is dubbed "And one hell of a secret exclusive..." I was hoping this meant it was a review of Half Life 2, however with "hell" in the sentence, its becoming clear that might actually be Doom3.

However, those people with PCGAMER can speculate. Does PCGAMER US say they actually have a Half Life2 review

I'd think it's doom 3 also, especially since, Valve is sending an RC to Vivendi on July 30th, so it's imposible for them to get a review or almost , maybe Valve will do something similar to Half Life: Day One but I really don't think so specially since it'd be all around de inet.

Seems like these days every gaming mag has an 'exclusive' story.. don't get your hopes up..

Definatley Doom 3. Its a lot like PCG UK to put a small clue in that type of thing.

planethalflife summarizes the situation about RC in July/August pretty well.
Lombardi is holding to RC in August,
Gabe Newell E-mails/posts talk about sending off(delivering?) the RC July 30th.

So if they finish or send off on the 30th then it might be safest to say August by the time results get back.

Half Life: Day On wasn't an official demo release or anything FYI...don't remember it being official lol

We're cute like that. Although I can't confirm or deny the accuracy of your guesses.

Anyone read page 8 of that issue?

I bet it's a doom 3 review. If it was a half life 2 review it would probably read "W-hev-e got a right review for you next month". heh. did you see what I did there?! :stare:

Nah, that's too smart for the mentality level of PCG UK. They'd be more obvious.

Yeah, you have a point. I haven't bought a gaming magazine since I was about 12 though.

I hit thirteen and have been on NME for the last decade..
