It's been one week since we officially launched Half-Life 2: Episode One. So far the critical response has been great. The feedback we value most highly, though, is the kind we get from players. Between email, bug reports, forum posts, and wiki contributions, we've already gotten a good idea of which elements of the game worked best, and how to make Episode Two even better.

The folks running the Verizon FiOS Grand Tournament have opened the official practice sessions for their $100,000 Half-Life 2: Deathmatch tournament, which begins June 15th. There's still time to sign-up, and the tournament is open to players of all skill levels residing in the United States. For more info head on over to fiosgrand.com.
