Valve has apparently filed an application for trade marking the word "Half-Life 3" and it is anyone's guess as to what that could mean for the long-awaited not-yet-announced sequel to one of the most cherished game series of our generation. It could be just protecting themselves. It could be the beginning of some real news. Who knows. But one thing is for sure: it is a real trade mark application on a real website where Valve has applied for trade marks before.

The List of goods and services: Computer game software; Electronic game software; Downloadable computer game software via a global computer network and wireless devices; Video game software.
Link to application: http://esearch.oami.europa.eu/copla.....data/012180394

We'll keep you updated if we get any confirmation or denial from Valve on this issue. For now, take this news as meaning nothing...yet.
