Valve Returns to ‘Half-Life’ With New VR Game, ‘Half-Life: Alyx’!

Published

on

While Valve still can’t quite count to three, they will be returning to the Half-Life series in the form of their first VR game! Half-Life: Alyx will be revealed at 10 am PT/1 pm ET on November 21. On top of that, according to a leaked transcript from a new interview, Alyx will be shown at this year’s Game Awards on December 12!

It’s quite the coincidence, since this month marks the 15th anniversary of Half-Life 2‘s release. And while we never did get that closure in the form of Episode 3, perhaps Valve is leaving that to Alyx?

‘Dead Island 2’ Arrives on Steam With Hefty Discount [Trailer]

Published

The wait is over for Steam users looking to stomp around Los Angeles busting zombie heads in Deep Silver and Dambuster’s Dead Island 2. The multimillion-selling follow-up to the 2011 original is now available on Steam, as well as the title’s two DLCs, including the recently-released “SoLA”. Deep Silver has marked the occasion with a new launch trailer.

In fact, Deep Silver has sweetened the deal with a 50% off sale for Dead Island 2 on Steam that’s on until April 29. That sale also applies to the title’s expansion packs and DLCs.

Just in case you missed it the first time around, Dead Island 2 centres around a deadly virus that’s spreading across Los Angeles, turning its inhabitants into ravenous zombies. The city is in quarantine and the military have retreated. Bitten, infected, but more than just immune, you learn to harness the zombie inside of you.

Known as Slayers, you (and if you choose, up to three players in co-op mode) must embark on an epic pulp journey across a plethora of well-known locations such as Beverly Hills, Venice Beach and Santa Monica to uncover the truth behind the outbreak and who or what they are turned into.

Dead Island 2 is also available on PC via the Epic Games Store, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
