Valve released the 720p and direct feed version of the Half Life 2 Episode 2 shown during the Game Convention last week. It looks just a tad better than our screener version ;)
Blim, it would be great if you could keep uploading optional lower res versions of videos that are originally available in 720p. I noticed that for example here with HL2 and during GC06 with Stranglehold, there was only a 720p version available. My computer is too slow to playback HD videos smoothly. :/
Well there's no lower res available i presume and normally you could use the streaming version when there's no low version available(which also isn't up in this case ;) )

I'm still thinking about what i should do:
Or buy all the extra episodes/content from valve for the pc.. or wait for the 360 version because my pc is in need for some big upgrades :)
either way this looks hot...
If you have a current/good PC, and have played all Half-Life games incl. Half-Life 2 and Episode 1 on PC, get the PC version of Half-Life 2: Episode 2 (incl. Team Fortress 2 and Portal) for probably 20-25 bucks..
If you have a old/crappy PC, and didn't play any Half-Life game yet, get the Xbox 360 version of Half-Life 2 (incl. Episode 1, Episode 2, Team Fortress 2, and Portal) for the normal Xbox 360 retail-price of arround 60 bucks..
I'm with the 1st choice, but I think the Xbox 360 option does offer great value.. Even if I had already played HL2 on the old Xbox, I would still buy HL2 on the 360.. HL2 will look much better on it, and you'll get all those extra's in Episode 1 & 2, TF2, and Portal aswell.. It's a no brainer really..

Actually I had put a 640x360 online too, I simply forgot to link it to the news. It's done now.
This game is gonna be one of the best game XBOX 360.
I've just fnished HL2 and I can see episode 2 has better graphics.
If it will be enough long I can buy it.

Well i've got to be honest i've been a pc gamer all my live (had a nes 8-bit and atari 2600 though :) and just got back to consoles with the xbox & the xbox 360, but i still think fps's are played best on the pc, i used to play allot of quake 2 and UT, i'm currently finishing my studies with an internship and i'll be graduating in februari (if all things go right that is :))
I'm planning on buying a monster gaming pc when i'm done so i can get back into pc gaming again :), i'll think i'll just wait with buying extra half life content for the moment :D

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (3 Weeks ago)

By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (5 Weeks ago)
