OK, here's a summary.
G-Man's introductory quote, with no paragraph breaks. Even I was nearly fooled into thinking it was all gabbled through at once in the video. :s
"The talking point was not the technology, but the phycology"
"Characters that teased, taunted and flirted with the mute Gordon"
"Meanwhile, we felt genuine pity for the put-upon populance of City 17."
Incorrect G-Man quote: "That's all for now, Gordon..." Again, it's all on the same line (wrapped around a few times) so it looks rushed.
Four screens from the Strider video, not mentioning the flame effect of the Strider's phycannon.
Two screens of the rollermine cliff scene, with no mention of the rollermines.
Screen of Ravensholm: "...Gordon is caught in a Zombie ambush, but that doesn't stop him reacinh Eli's lab..."
Screen of Eli/Mossman scene, suggesting chronology with Ravensholm (how can anyone make THAT mistake?): "...in record time. This young lady (She must be in her early 40's) flirts with Gordon..." Yeah, right.
And to top it all, the weblink is to www.half-life.com! They also stake it for September, despite Valve repeatedly saying summer, and describes it as "The story of one man and his HEV suit" - wheras the focus is of course very much on character interaction. D'oh.
If there are this many mistakes in their HL2 coverage, I dread to think what the rest of the reports' accuracy is like.

Even their last fake preview was better than this. Also the new layout blows hard. (extralife owns though)

last day of summer is September 21, my birthday.
Okay I checked out the US PCG preveiw and it didn't have much. Nothing we really don't know, and a lot of outdated information. The literally said that the SDK was due out in May when it was the June issue.
There were some interesting tidbits about source. For example, they said that it could be used to treat kids with autism and they also got a call for the military to use as a training aid.

Summer in its solstice form is June 21st - September 21st. This has nothing to do with logic but the positioning of the sun in relation to the earth. June 21st is the longest day of the year (with December 21st being the shortest).
Calender-wise, summer is June, July, August.
When Valve say mid-summer, they could mean July or July 21st to August 21st!!
