A lot of us still seem to be suffering from that E3 hangover. But that's alright. We've got plenty of back-to-regular-programming E3-after pills to pull you through. Hey, just because the event is over doesn't mean that our party is over. Read up and see just how much we earned from the aftermath of E3. Right after the jump you go.

Valve has been working overtime trying to quell the backlash surrounding the announcement of Left 4 Dead 2 last week. Project lead Chet Faliszek has already said earlier that they won't stop support for the original game, and now Valve president Gabe Newell has said his piece on the subject.

There have been rumors going around that Left 4 Dead, a shooter from Valve that's only out for the Xbox 360 and the PC, is coming to the PS3. I checked it out and I couldn't believe it, in fact, I had to double check everything we had on the Valve title just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. What did Valve have to say about it? It's all in the full article.

More console-hating. This time, online execs unload against the gaming platforms at the BMO Capital Markets' Interactive Entertainment Conference. The panel discussion heard vivid opinions on the market and what a gamer wants. Read more in the full article.

Gabe Newell, managing director of Valve, has made a lot eyebrow-raising comments through the years, more particularly the ones about his stand on console game development. This time, he talks about gamers and publishers. His latest quote can be found at the full article.

Remember when Valve's Gabe Newell said that the "PS3 is a waste of everybody's time"? Well, it looks like people can have a change of heart too. Valve admits that they're lacking in-house resources for PS3 development (which means... Team Fortress 2 won't be getting an update, even though it's already heading to the 360 and PC versions), however, they're still committed in trying to get a strong in-house team of PS3 developers. Also, unless EA has any say on it, it looks like Left 4 Dead will be staying on the Xbox 360 and PC.

We all know how Valve doesn't dig Sony's PlayStation 3. We've all heard Gabe Newell bash the console public on more than one occasion, after all. But what's this going on? Valve Corporation is having a change of heart? No less than Doug Lombardi confirms as much.

We all know that Valve's Half-Life 2: Episode 2 kicked some serious booty last year, and it's still among today's favorites because of its superior gameplay. The only downside in this scenario is that fans are asking for more, and they've started looking at E3 2008 as the possible birthplace of the next episode. Valve says "not yet", but they've got another thing for itchy trigger fingers. More after the jump.

If you've hummed to the tune of Still Alive one too many times, or fantasized going into war with the invigorating sounds of Team Fortress 2 (Xbox 360, PC, PS3), then you might want to consider buying the original soundtrack of The Orange Box.

This disc full of unique audio goodness can be yours for the paltry sum of US$ 9.95. Check out the newly-released product in the full article.

After passing the buck to the gamers themselves on Half-Life's (could be last) episodic content, Gabe Newell is confidently saying that Valve is far from losing steam on the said franchise. Especially not when they're inching closer to the grand finale in the form of Episode Three.

In fact, there's still so many possible angles and universes for them to cover. Says Newell:

We'd certainly love to be working in other universes because any time you get two Valve people together they come up with five game ideas and thirteen universes that they would like to tell and play them in. So there's a lot of Half-Life left at Valve.

Portal was also mentioned as one of those carrying the interesting stories, such as those on Aperture Science, even before the team came up with the idea that it could be host to other stories in other Half-life universes. It certainly sounds like the spirit of Half-Life will live on even after Episode Three. Stay tuned for more clues, hints, and news on the matter.
