Ever played a game with a great story that looked like it would continue into the future but just didn’t? We’ve all been there, wondering when our favourite game would get a sequel. Sadly, some games tease and end up never seeing a continuation. Let’s take a look at 15 such titles.

Half Life 2: Episode 2

We might as well get the big one out of the way. Half-Life 2: Episode 2 saw the resistance creating a rocket that ultimately closed the Combine portal, thus limiting the aliens from calling reinforcements. As Gordon and Alyx are setting out for the Borealis, two Advisors suddenly arrive and kill Eli Vance. Though our heroes are ultimately saved by D0g, the episode ends with a cliff-hanger. All these years and some artwork teasing the Borealis but still no Episode 3, forget Half-Life 3.

With E3 around the corner, many fans as always, anticipate the announcement of Half Life 3, and each and every year we get disappointed, so much so that we have given up hope. However there are a few that still hold on to that promise that maybe this year will be the year when the legendary game will be announced.

With that said, many hardcore fans are not aware of some of the secrets of the Half Life series. Mainly because the world, story and characters are so deep, that there are many hidden gems that not many people discover. Here are some facts and secrets that will make you even more excited for Half Life 3.

Breen was the administrator of Black Mesa and had a hand in the Black Mesa Incident

Not many people were aware of this, but Dr Breen was the administrator of Black Mesa, and hence when the player heard statements from fellow scientists like “The administrator has gone through great lengths to acquire this sample” the scientist’s were talking about the same person; Dr Breen. This begs the question if Dr Breen was in cahoots with the G-man, and knew what would happen in the test chamber, and of that experiment would eventually mean the end of the world.

Half Life 3 Will Have Longer Release Gap Than Between Half Life 1 and 2

When Valve first revealed Half Life 2: Episode 1, its argument was that it would be able to roll out short, compact packages for the game rather than devoting all their time to a full retail experience. There was still a pretty sizable gap between the release of Episode 1 and 2, with the latter only releasing as part of The Orange Box, which also included Portal and the long-delayed Team Fortress 2.

However, when October 7th 2013 approaches, it will have been six years since the release of Half Life 2: Episode 2 and Half Life 3. That’s an even longer gap than that between Half Life 1 and 2.

Of course, Valve’s announcements last week weren’t even remotely related to Half Life 3, instead focusing on Steam Box, SteamOS and the new Steam Controller. Half Life 3 has seemingly fallen by the wayside but the state it’s in now – described as “bits and pieces” – it will be a long while yet until we see the third game.
