In fact, it is for such reason that a number of game critics now believe that either Valve Corporation is developing the perfect “Half-Life” game in “Half-Life 3” or that the highly-anticipated video game would no longer come out, given the long and agonizing wait from “Half-Life 2.”
It should be noted however that although “Half-Life 2” was released 12 years ago, Valve Corporation has actually released “Half-Life 2: Episode Two” nine years ago. There were rumors then that Valve would follow it up with “Half-Life 2: Episode Three” but it never materialized.
There have been a couple of independent game developers who attempted to fill the void that was left by Valve’s non-release of “Half-Life 3.”
There is Richard Seabrook, who recently released “Prospekt” which actually takes gamers back to the “Half-Life” universe. The game features 13 great levels that have new enemies, story elements, as well as music and voice acting.
Critics believe that the game is good enough that it could almost pass for an official entry into the franchise. The good news is that Valve Corporation has given its blessing to Richard Seabrook to use the “Half-Life” universe in “Prospekt.”
There is also the terrifying “Episode 2 mod Nightmare House” which feels like it could be related to Gordon Freeman’s imagination if gamers would use their imagination including the game’s familiarity of Valve’s Source engine.
