All About Gaming: New, Used & Retro

Valve has filed a trademark for Half-Life 3, almost a decade after the release of Half-Life 2.

Valve is yet to make any official announcements, but the listing uncovered on the official European Registration Office website - filed on September 29 - would suggest that the developer could be preparing to finally break its silence on the much-rumoured sequel.

Half-Life 3 is the hugely anticipated third installment of Valve's epic Half-Life series. What's presumed to be the conclusion of silent protagonist Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance's epic adventure, Half-Life 3 - while not quite considered vapourware yet - has garnered a reputation as one of the most under the radar of all games in development. Often rumoured but never seen, Half-Life 3 has never had a release date, so can't be considered to be delayed, but the consistent non-appearance of one of the most eagerly awaited games of all time has drawn considerable speculation and fan protest. Recent hopes have been raised by next-gen source 2 references appearing in game code, but whether this means the advent of Half-Life 3, well, who knows? We can but hope. We await the third installment of Gordon Freeman's adventures with as much anticipation as ever, but as of August 2012, no solid official info exists on the title and Valve aren't for rushing.
