Yes, you read that right.

We can't hold back our excitement any longer - Half-Life 2 is reviewed in the next issue of PC Gamer, on sale Oct 5. Our UK exclusive features eight pages on the biggest game ever to hit the PC. We've toyed with the gravity gun, gone toe-to-toe with the Overwatch, and watched in awe as the Striders strut.

We have not confirmed this with PC Gamer yet, but we will shortly. Thanks to E. Plant aka Shed for the heads-up.

Update: Daniel Morris, Editor-In-Chief of PC Gamer, was kind enough to drop me a line this evening:

Since the cat is apparently out of the bag, I wanted to update you and let you know that PC Gamer has the worldwide exclusive on the first review of Half-Life 2. The U.S. edition (the December issue) should be reaching subscribers beginning this week.

Thanks for dropping in on us, Daniel!

Knows what i'm buying next week.

I read this quote on a thread on halflife2.net about a week ago - for some reason its only just made its way onto PHL recently...

bah I guess it means it should be pretty soon but still not as good as having the game

Gecko · 28-09-2004, 17:24

Yeh so... my copy of PCZone dropped through the letterbox this morning and also has a "12-page review" of Half-Life 2 in it.

And obviously PCZone pisses all over PC Lamer, so get your copies when it hits the stores ladies and germs!
