"Ever since the release candidate for Half-Life 2 was submitted to VU Games in mid-September, a piņata has hung in the lobby of Valve's headquarters. The plan: to bust the sucker open when the game achieved gold status. Earlier today, GameSpot learned from an informed sourced that "the piņata has been broken" and the game has gone gold. Further evidence of the game's completion was a press release issued this afternoon touting the first review of "the entire game." Though nothing official has been announced yet, it appears the fat lady is at last clearing her throat."
Interesting.

Still nothing official then, but with magazines already reviewing the game I'd say the games been ready for a few weeks now. I just wish Vivendi would stop pishing about and tell everyone it's gold, and put a few minds to rest.
Anyway, got my version off of Steam, so I can get it a couple of days before the European release. Time to book some holidays off I think.

Hadn't really paid much attention to this one, didn't really play the first game much so didn't really know when it was due out etc.
That was until earlier today, was looking at stuff on CS source and thought I should look at HL2 as well before I order it from steam. Looked at some videos and it looks superb, shall be getting this once I've got the computer upgraded.
