No Half-Life Games Coming This Year at all

It was noticed in an issue of Game Informer, and originally reported on Cinemablend that it was rumoured that there would be no Half-Life games coming out this year. That means no Half-Life 2: Episode 3, and definitely no Half-Life 3 (as if that would happen anytime soon).

"Loose Talk has learned that there won't be any game from the franchise in 2010, and what will finally come out is still unknown. Will it be Half-Life 2: Episode Three? Or will it be a full-on Half-Life 3?"

Valve is working on Episode 3 though:

“Yes, of course we’re doing Episode 3.” – Gabe Newell

Some details of Ep3 have leaked over the last while, like the rumour about the game featuring a deaf character, and sign language.

I had no doubt in my mind that we wouldn’t see the game this year, so it’s hardly surprising. Episode 3 has been featured in some articles titled “Games that won’t see 2010”, including my own article.
