Over at FileShack you can now download a new Episode One movie, showing about a minute of gameplay footage from Valve's upcoming Half-Life 2 expansion. There are also four more screenshots.

Update: Valve now has opened the official site for Episode One. The site mentions Episode One will be released June 1st.

Oh great, the "-----------Episode One-------------" logo looks like the one from Star Wars:

  Hopefully it's better than the Phantom Menace.
  
  I'm kind of disappointed they didn't upgrade some of the models, etc, and that the maps don't look as polished and detailed as DOD:S or some CS:S maps.
  
  Still looks pretty good though, of course I'll be buying it.

  Next thing you know, there's a pod race chapter midway through of the game.

      Sort of looked like in Episode 2 (of Starwars, that is) when Obi is chasing that assassin through the city.
      
      Hummm... Intaresting. Or not. Blargh.

  hehe, thats the first thing I thought of when I saw it. I'd want to avoid any sort of Star Wars connotations at this point, personally.... unless you call it "Episode Four/Five/Six"

    The storm troopers w/ deathstar setting in the first screenshot dont help avoid that connotation either.
