HALF-LIFE IS BACK!


From the video description:
Valve Wrote:Set between the events of Half-Life and Half-Life 2, Half-Life: Alyx is a new full-length game built from the ground up by Valve for virtual reality.


Contrary to what some people are saying, Half-Life Alyx is NOT Half-Life 3. Half-Life Alyx is a prequel to Half-Life 2.

Shenmue 3 is now available.
