We may not have an idea on what the developmental status of Half-Life 3 is, but today's Half-Life related news should make you very happy. Fans of the franchise may have heard of a little thing called Black Mesa Source, and if not, you should definitely check it out.

Black Mesa Source is a fan-remake of Half-Life, and has been in development for quite a while now. But in the last couple of hours, a release date surprisingly hit the Internet, and has excited a number of fans. Black Mesa Source will be released on September 14, just 12 days from now!!

One of the better things about it, is that it will be free, and should give people a taste of Half-Life after years of nothing Half-Life related at all. The other thing that BMS will do is make you want Half-Life 3 just that trailer load more.
