Valve has announced that "Half-Life 2: Episode One" has risen to the top of the charts across Europe.
"Episode One, released at retail outlets and via Steam® on June 1st, is the first in a trilogy of episodes that will conclude by Christmas of 2007.
“After spending six years creating Half-Life 2, we decided to build HL2’s successor as a trilogy of episodes,” said Gabe Newell, Valve's president and co-founder. “This has allowed us take greater risks in gameplay, move the technology forward faster, and let people know what happened when the Citadel blew up in 18 months, rather than asking them to wait 6 years.”
Half-Life 2: Episode One advances the 15-million unit selling franchise and launches a new, three-part series that leads far beyond City 17. Half-Life 2: Episode One does not require Half-Life 2 to play, and is available via Steam and at retail stores around the world."
