We hang on every word Valve says. When you're the company behind Half-Life, Left 4 Dead and Portal, you earn that kind of attention. Well, in a recent interview, Valve head Gabe Newell said we can expect at least three big surprises in the coming year.
"I can guarantee you people are going to be surprised at stuff we do. That isn't going to stop any time soon. I'm just laughing because... people will be shocked again," Valve boss Gabe Newell told PC Gamer. "We have three pretty big surprises in the next 12 months at least."
I wouldn't be at all surprised at the announcement of Half-Life 2: Episode 3 this year. In fact, I'd be surprised if it wasn't announced... does this mean the non-announcement itself is one of the three surprises? No one can say, but whatever Valve ends up revealing, you can bet we'll tell you about it the second we hear anything!
As always, feel free to speculate in our comment section.

I have not played a valve game in the last few months. I know many of the guys I play games on valve have done the same. Games like TF2 and L4D one and two can get repetitive. That of course is after playing all of them for about 900 hours combined.
They plan some of their releases based on studying when a game starts to lose players. This mainly effects newer releases like L4d, l4d 2, TF2, etc.
I think HL2 episode 3 must have some software issues since it has...

This weekend, Pax 2010 takes place in Seattle. G4 will be all over the Penny Arcade Expo, and if you're going to, we'd like to invite you out for drinks*.
There will be lots of chances to hang out with G4 at the show itself, but if you want to hang more informally, come down to Shorty Dog (2222A 2nd Avenue, between Bell and Blanchard) on Friday night, 7:30-9, and Meet up with the X-Play and G4tv.com teams at Seattle’s best clown-themed arcade bar. Formal attire not required.
*If you're over 21, of course... oh, and when we say "invite you out for drinks" we don't mean we're buying!
Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer Reveal Hands-On

Posted 3 hours 5 mins ago - By Kevin Kelly
September 1 has come and gone, and as promised, Activision delivered a slew of Call of Duty: Black Ops news upon the masses. We were lucky enough to attend the multiplayer reveal, held on the grounds of the California Science Center in Los Angeles last night, where we were able to put our hands on the multiplayer modes in the game for the very first time.
Besides taunting gamers with a multiplayer teaser video a few weeks ago, Activision has been fairly silent about the multiplayer aspect of this eagerly awaited game. So what did they tell us tonight? Plenty. They dumped a nice Wager Match video feature on us earlier in the evening, and we'll have videos and more for you from the event later today, but right now we're going to tell you about what they showed off. So sit back, kick your feet up, and delve into the world of Call of Duty Black Ops - multiplayer.

I love shooters. From the way it sounds, Halo and Call of Duty are both stepping up their games in a big way. I was going to give Medal of Honor a try too, but now I will probably pass. It just doesn't sound as interesting as either of these two games. I can't wait to play both when they come out.

All new information on the multiplayer modes of Call of Duty: Black Ops was revealed at an event here in Los Angeles tonight. Our team is at the scene, so look for more details coming soon as they get their K/D ratio in sync. For now though, set your scopes on this brand new trailer for 'Wager Match' from Call of Duty: Black Ops, which also showcases some of the various new modes like "One in the Chamber," where players only start with one bullet in their gun, accruing more as they kill other players with melee. Insight from Treyarch on the new additions are also included, but enough reading, come check it out inside:

To generate a bit more buzz for Chair Entertainment’s newly announced iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch exclusive “Project Sword,” Epic Games has released a free tech demo called Epic Citadel. The Unreal Engine 3 powered app, the world's first in fact, lets users wander through a gorgeously rendered medieval town filled to the brim with remarkable detail--birds chirping as they circle above, yellowing leaves blowing in the wind, sweeping vistas of the cliff-side kingdom, the glaring sun peeking through fluttering flags, etc.
What's even more remarkable is that the app was built in just eight weeks by a small team of Epic developers. Most impressive. Here’s little walkthrough video we put together for those of you can’t check out the impressive demo first-hand:

Apparently Apple had some sort of media event today, where they announced a bunch of weird new products like Apple TV, iPods and stuff. Strange, right? Tonight on Attack of the Show, TechCrunch.com's MG Siegler joined Chris Hardwick on The Loop to run down the news from Steve Jobs, like the features on the new Apple TV, the surprise over iTunes 10 with its social network additions and the camera finally arriving on the iPod Touch. Which products are you most excited for and who wants to FaceTime with me?

Today is PlayStation Move day here at G4. We've been playing around with Sony's new motion control device for a while now, and today we can tell you all about it. You're fortunate.
Let's start with the big one: Our overall impressions of the technology.
Of course you can't judge a control system without games, so here's a look at the games we played:
- Start the Party fails to impress.
- We like Sports Champion, however.
- Kug Fu Rider, on the other hand, is not so super.
- Tumble is a very, very fun little game.
And finally, here's a couple of games that use Move as an add-on as opposed to a centerpiece:
Overall: It's a pretty mixed bag, I think you will agree, but the Move shows a lot of potential. I can't wait to see more games and more uses for the device.

I do like the idea of being able to choose between the move or the controller to play some of the more hardcore titled games

We here at G4 have delivered our verdict on Sony’s soon-to-be-released PlayStation Move motion controller, and the consensus was that while the tech works for the most part, the selection of launch titles just isn’t that impressive. But we’re hopeful about the Move’s future, because we’re gamers and we want as many cool games to play as possible. Reader allpointsw shares our sentiment but adds a few compelling tidbits to the mix as well, saying:
Well, here's hoping that the Move allows gets some good game support in the relative near future. I prefer keyboard and mouse over analog stick but if this technology allows for an enjoyable gaming experience for someone who has little time to spend perfecting the thumb controller then I'll be more than happy to jump over into the console market. However, this will more than likely be supported by very few quality games. The game companies will stay with the tried and true and, like many, will not venture outside of the safe and normal.

Short and sweet:
Tech = AWESOME
New Software = Lackluster. Sports champions and tumble ill get though. just to show it off.
Current Software = interesting. MAG with move support and RE5 and Heavy Rain. Definitely gonna have to get MAG. Liked it anyway just didnt have a job till now. RE5, didnt like it anyway.
Future Software = AMAZING. Sorcery, kiddish maybe. kickass, yes. Socom 4, Awesome. Killzone 3, im not so sure actually. ...

Leave a Comment »Grinding Gears Games recently stopped by the G4 offices to show off their free-to-play, action-RPG-inspired MMO Path of Exile. Founder Chris Wilson gave us a guided walkthrough of a few of the early stages of the game, and showed off two of the character classes: the brawny Marauder and the “I’ll shoot stuff from over here” Ranger. There are some pretty intriguing elements at play in the game, but it’s going to be a while before we see how they all come together, seeing as the game won’t be out until sometime later next year.

Oh, it's time for a brand-new Feedback! Adam Sessler is out this week, so we decided to turn the show into a freestyle jazz session, complete with Abbie Heppe on the oboe, Matt Keil on the sax, Rob Manuel on the xylophone, and myself on the recorder.
Okay, that didn't actually happen. But we'll keep practicing for next time. Instead, we talk about news, further dissect Metroid: Other M, and riff on things in a manner not unlike jazz, just with more video games and geek appeal. So what are you waiting on? Take Feedback for a spin, kick the tires, then see your dealer for a pretty good deal. Low mileage, sweet extra features. All for you.

Now here is something that has been on my mind for a while but I really haven't gotten the chance to say yet. Consider the new video Kinect feature that needs to be added to X-Box Live. Does anybody else think the Kinect release was a ploy to try and convince X-Box 360 gamers that the price increase for using X-Box Live is more justified? Hear me out. I don't think they planned on the Kinect being a complete failure or anything like that. But, they may have considered that the Kinect would...

Gamefly has an offer you shouldn't really refuse. The game-rental company is giving a year-long membership every day for the month of September.
Beginning today and running through September 30, new members who signs up for a pre-paid GameFly membership will be automatically entered into the sweepstakes. GameFly will randomly select one entrant each day and award a full, one-year subscription to GameFly. Winners will receive a two-game-out membership, regularly priced at $22.95/month. You could buy like 16 hamburgers with that kind of money!
“We were looking for a way to reward the new members of our community,” said David Hodess, CEO of GameFly. “This promotion allows new members to potentially extend their memberships to one year at no cost. This month, 30 lucky gamers will enjoy a free year of gaming.”

LOL 30 Gamers out of how many? David Hodess quote should have been " Although you can never rent the more popular games because they are never available and are back ordered you"ll be able to enjoy a year of Playstation 2 and original XBOX games." By the way how does a company who rents video games and says keep em as long as you like not have enough copies of the newest games out. I waited over 2 months to play GTA4 when it came out.
