Even though Lego Lord of the Rings has been announced, we reckon they're fast running out of franchises to render in acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. Lego James Bond is the one we always mention when we see the Traveller's Tales guys, but so far we've had no luck convincing them that squashing a plastic version of Sean Bean with a giant satellite array would be a very good thing.Flickr user Catsy has completely inspired us to believe that a Lego version of Half-Life would be the way for Lego to go. As Kotaku reported, he/she has created a Lego version of Gordon Freeman using stock Lego bits and bobs, equipped with a customised Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle made from a Lego tommy gun.As Catsy notes, Freeman needs a little more smoothing and painting. But between his/her and Orrange Stahl's attempts at Lego Half-Life, we think there's more than enough to convince the Danish toy giants to create Lego versions of Freeman, Alyx Vance, The G-Man et al. Who knows, maybe they could even make a game of it.
Half-Life's Black Mesa Test Chamber, In LEGO Form4/22/16 9:30am One of the most memorable scenes of Half-Life was right at the beginning, when Gordon Freeman woke up in a severely damaged test chamber, realizing that getting out of the facility will be a bit problematic. LEGO builder Dorian Glacet created a superb diorama, called Resonance Cascade, showing the events that led to this very important moment, using LDD and Mecabricks.Since the release of Half-Life 2: Episode Two in October 2007, there has been very little news from Valve on the next Half-Life game. Half-Life 2: Episode Three, the third and final installment of the Half-Life 2 episodes, was expected to follow soon after Episode Two, as Valve had stated that they aimed to release a new episode every six to eight months.[1] However, as of February 2017, three pieces of concept art are all Valve have shown of the next game. Since then, Valve has released eight other games. Leaks suggest that Valve has abandoned the episodic model[2] and is now working on a full sequel entitled Half-Life 3,[3] but Valve employees have consistently refused to comment on the status or nature of the next Half-Life game, much to the displeasure of their fanbase.
[5] Despite general satisfaction with the games Valve has made since Episode Two, the next Half-Life game continues to be their most anticipated title, and since the long-awaited release of Duke Nukem Forever in 2011, it has become gaming's most infamous case of continuing vaporware.
