PC Gamer Declares Half-Life 2 "The Most Important Game You’ll Ever Play" 
   Comment!
"It’s history in the making." – Editor-in-Chief Dan Morris
(Brisbane, CA) October 20, 2004 – PC Gamer, the world’s best-selling PC 
games magazine, got a world-exclusive first look at hotly-anticipated 
Half-Life 2 in its December issue, which hits newsstands October 19th, 
2004. The game was given an "Editors’ Choice" award and a review rating 
of 98%, the highest rating in the magazine’s history.
PC Gamer was the first publication invited to review Half-Life 2. The 
December issue of PC Gamer features a 9-page review written by Senior 
Editor Chuck Osborn, exclusive screen captures, and a four-page 
technical Q & A with Gary McTaggart, Valve’s resident tech guru.
"Half-Life 2 is arguably the best game ever made to date. It is a 
groundbreaking experience in interactive entertainment," states PC 
Gamer’s Senior Editor, Chuck Osborn, "While some games have 
groundbreaking visuals, or intellectually-challenging gameplay, or 
perhaps a cinematic story with good voice acting, not one has ever 
delivered the complete package. Half-Life 2 nails it, surpassing the 
original in every way."
Sales of the groundbreaking, next generation first-person PC shooter 
Half-Life exceed more than 10 million units worldwide to date and 
devotees have waited six years for the sequel. The release marks the 
debut of Valve’s revolutionary new Source engine, which enables 
cutting-edge graphics and takes advantage of the newest video cards and 
processors.
The review takes readers through the entire game, focusing on the 
gameplay and sheer enjoyment and highlighting the enhanced environments, 
new weapons, plot, character animation, sound and more. The review also 
boasts a description of Counter-Strike: Source ­ the multiplayer mode 
that ships with Half-Life 2.
Additionally, PC Gamer’s Hard Stuff section features a four-page Q & A 
with Gary McTaggart, Valve Software’s resident tech guru, titled "12 
Things You Need to Know About running Half-Life 2 on Your PC". It 
details what readers can anticipate from the games visuals and expect 
from their existing system specs, including minimum system spec 
requirements and upgrade options for optimal performance.
"Valve is honored to have the first Half-Life 2 review featured as the 
cover of the December 2004 issue of PC Gamer and its many international 
affiliates," says Doug Lombardi, Director of Marketing at Valve. "For 
over a decade, PC Gamer has been the authority for gamers and industry 
insiders. In spring 1997, PC Gamer UK filed the first-ever preview of 
Half-Life. Today, PC Gamer is a worldwide voice and a flagship among 
Future’s fleet of leading publications.
Future Network USA’s Group Publisher, Simon Whitcombe, states, "As the 
editorial and circulation market-leader, PC Gamer is the obvious choice 
in which to debut new games and reach hardcore, early purchasing gamers. 
Additionally, PC Gamer is an ideal partner because it also reaches a 
wider games audience and continues to generate excitement for games long 
after their launch with its monthly Extended Play section, dedicated to 
sourcing and providing extensions, game mods and downloads."
Rounding out a blockbuster issue, the December PC Gamer also features a 
contest for a customized, $6,000 Half-Life 2 super-PC from Falcon 
Northwest. The contest is sponsored by Falcon Northwest.
"Valve has forged the framework for the next generation of games, 
demonstrating what our medium can and should be able to accomplish," 
Osborn concludes in his review. Half-Life 2 is "an exhilarating 
entertainment that can emotionally move you one moment, kick ass the 
next, and keep you immersed the whole time."
