Computer Graphics World has a nice article about Half-Life 2 and some of the technology behind it. Its interesting they used XSI and plan to ship a light version with the game (its actually a nice program - its nice to see some attention brought its way).

You can read the article here:

Im really looking forward to the game, if not just for the modding possibilities. People are sure to have a field day with it! (I know I would if I had the time).
