Valve Software has confirmed with us that Half-Life 2: Episode 2 is already being whipped into shape, as the Half-Life fan base waits with bated breath for the release of Half-Life 2: Episode 1 (previously called Aftermath).
Valve's Robin Walker, designer/engineer on Episode 1, informed us that Episode 2 "has been in development for some time" in an interview that'll be winging its way to you shortly. Although he didn't elaborate further, it sounds as though Episode 2 may appear sooner than we could have hoped. We're definitely keeping trigger fingers crossed on that one, especially as the developer has aimed to offer "between 4 to 6 hours" of gameplay time with Episode 1, according to Walker - shorter, perhaps, than fans might have expected.
Full story.

I already am, but only on Easy mode which is a bit of a cheat for someone of my l33t h4x status. I might start again on medium so I can really shit myself in ravenholm.
EDIT: Episode 1 on 24th April apparently

I'm still in Ravenholm.
Haven't fired it up since those zombie monkey bastards killed me.
I really ought to finish the game, but I've started COD2 SP now

Been through it twice, some bits like Ravenholm, tip-toeing along the beach and the return to the city were much better second time around when I knew how much further I had to go, whereas other bits like the driving, the "defend the base" and the bit under the bridge seemed a bit forced second time around. Of course the gun you get in the final stages is fun however many times you play it.

Thrice through for me!
I do hope Gordon wasn't a nonce, and picked his Gravvygun up again.
