Half Life 2: Episode 3: Is There Really One?

So, i'm going to start this blog off by just going directly to the point. Will there be a Half Life 2: Episode 3? If there is, will it actually be that name, or will it be Half Life 3? We don't know! But from all the small things VALVe HAS released, it's not much. Most of all the things they've released are old or probably aren't in the game. The very newest concept art hasn't given us much as to the release of said game, but we all know, if there is one, that it'll be based around getting to the Borealis and either destroying it or using it against the Combine. What we know so far isn't much. But we are all hoping... that there will be one. VALVe hasn't left us hanging with any games series much, so I doubt they will just stop making it. What happens to Eli? What happens to the Borealis and the Combine? We shall find out. Stay tuned for later posts!
