Fans who were tired of waiting for the official sequel to Half Life 2, will be releasing a homebrew mod of Half Life 2 called Black Mesa.
"On September 14th you will see the first release of Black Mesa! This will include our re-envisioning of Half-Life all the way up to Lambda Core. We believe this is a great way to provide a complete-feeling 8-10 hour experience with a solid ending, make our fans happy and help us make the best overall game possible," said a post in Black Mesa forum. "We are still working hard on Xen (a chapter in the game) and BMDM (Black Mesa Deathmatch) but instead of making you wait we are giving you Black Mesa as soon as it's ready! We're doing our best to help bring the immense vision of this project into reality, and we are very excited for what the future brings."
The game has taken eight years to make and is for PC users only and may be available for Mac users if Valve releases a new SDK for the game.
Half Life 2 was released in 2004 for Windows PCs and for PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2007. The game was met with critical acclaim and won many awards.
