Somewhere there’s a group of lunatics that want nothing more than to see Valve work on Half-Life 3.  In fact, a few of them came out in droves over the past week, protesting at the company’s headquarters to voice their complaints.  While we wait a little while longer for that eventual classic to simmer and reveal itself (2012 is a fair guess), we have another classic franchise to keep us busy.  The Half-Life spin-off Counter-Strike is back, priming for a premiere on the downloadable front next year.
