Another preview, this time HalfLife 2 Episode 1. Due in just a few days Game Informer have a preview up which also includes a video interview.

While we don't want to spoil too much about Episode One's contents, we will say that it took us approximately 5-6 hours to complete on the medium and easy settings (I played it on medium and Nick played it on easy). Back at the Game Developers Conference when we interviewed Gabe Newell, he said that it took him around seven hours to complete it in his latest play through. We're estimating that the average gamer should be able to complete it in no more than six hours, but for higher difficulty settings it could take longer.
