His greatest work was accomplished throughout the mid-20th century in the halls of Marvel Comics, but Lee was never better known than during the post-2000s boom of superhero movies.

Lee’s final Marvel movie cameo was, fittingly, in Avengers: Endgame,...

Last year, Valve brought the original development team back together for a 20th anniversary Half-Life 2 update. It integrated the post-launch episodes, added a new developer commentary track, brought in Steam Workshop support, and added a heap of map and gameplay updates.
