With the discussion here recently of episodic gameplay, I thought I'd post this from Gamespot: Half-Life 2 Goes Episodic.

GameSpot said:

Valve Software has revealed to GameSpot that Aftermath, the upcoming expansion pack to the award-winning 2004 shooter Half-Life 2, has been renamed "Half-Life 2: Episode One." When asked whether the name change is indicative of a change in direction for the Half-Life 2 franchise, Valve marketing director Doug Lombardi replied, "episodic." When asked the follow-up question of whether the new name meant that beginning of a regular flow of content, Lombardi replied, "yes."

I'm still not sure about this concept. I'd rather play a longer game than a bunch of little ones.
