Valve has released a motherload of media today for both games bundled in its upcoming Half-Life 2 episode 2: Black Box. While the adventures of Gordon are always great, the screenshots of most interest to me were from the bundled game Team Fortress 2; shown in the gallery below. True to the concept art and trailer revealed last year, this game looks like a cross between an FPS and a Roger Rabbit cartoon (or Pixar for you chilluns). Words cannot express what a refreshing approach this is, as I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I have a stack of realistic Army sims collecting dust on the shelf. I'm giddy, even.
The previews illustrate a glimpse of each character's special abilities as you pan through the screens, such as the spy's cloaking effect. The original Team Fortress consumed a greater part of my early adulthood and I look forward to surrendering another chunk of it shortly as soon as this hits.

I can't wait to play TF2, been waiting forever it seems.
Those screenshots just bring tears of joy to my eyes..
Love the style to the characters, hopefully it'll be like TF but a million and half times better.
I want to play now!

No matter. The more press releases, the more I look forward to it.
God... I'm such a loser... the only thing I can think of when I look at it is the math involved...
I don't need to be tempted with guys wielding baseball bats going up against army soldiers. That's just mean to do that to me...
Now I have to go find someplace that sells catheters and get a job that lets me work/veg at home so I can just get through all these damn games.
Thanks Valve.
you forgot Bioshock
it would be perfect, but very unlikley, if the multiplayer would work across platforms
but fuck, for solid team play, nothing comes close to tf. some try, and some force you, but none just work so damn well.
Half-life will just be a nice bonus.
