Valve loves keeping the Half-Life franchise pressed tight against its chest, and Microsoft has spilled nary a teensy droplet of info about its mysterious (See? It's working.) thriller Alan Wake. They won't even say for sure whether or not their titles will be at E3! So, how do we remedy this issue? Easy. We check the official E3 website.

If listings on the California-based trade show's page are verisimilitastic, then both Half-Life 2 Episode 3 and Alan Wake will be emerging from underneath their respective rocks for a little face time at the show.

Interestingly, the page for Valve's latest mini-opus doesn't make note of a PS3 version, which has caused many to strain their brains over whether or not a PS3 version of the game will be present at E3. Some have gone so far as to doubt the PS3 version's existence altogether.

Now, don't fret too much. Odds are, HL 2 Eppy 3 PS3 is in the cards, but someone at the E3 page made a boo-boo. However, just in case, we'll keep digging around the E3 page for more info. I know Kombo treats you too well, but we just can't help it.
