Asupposed teaser siteforHalf-Life 3appeared today, popping up on a site calling itself Black Aperture. The site displays only aHalf-Life 3logo, and Valve’s trademark information, as well as a link to theOrange Box site. It’s registered to a David Hassen through Network Solutions, and that’s all we know.

For a game likeHalf-Life 3, there’s no way fans won’t be made to jump through hoops before they get that sweet, sweet confirmation. In any case, this site is already doing the rounds and we’re going to get a dozen tips about it, so here’s your article and a liberal dose of cynicism. Enjoy it!
