You'll all agree with me when I say "wow", but is it coming to Xbox or Xbox 2 or neither?

I'm not a huge fan of Half-Life, mainly because I despise shooting aliens.

I've got Blue Shift on my PC, I rather liked it, but it's nothing like as good as Opposing Force, which may actually be better than Half-Life itself.

Oh yes Blue Shift. Apparently that wasn't actually that good. It would have been nice to have it, although I imagine the aiming wasn't up to much.

It had the Blue Shift thing where you played as Barney, the security guard. I think it ended up being released for PC in the end, but it was good. Plus I prefered being able to play it on a console.

:'( Wasn't it just the same as the PC Half-Life?

It wasn't released, which was stupid as it was amazing. They had even done the packaging. The ISOs were leaked onto the net. I have it. Really was fantastic and I think it had the ability to have been the Dreamcast's Halo. It truly was a loss to the games world. If you have broadband and a CD burner you could just download it and burn it.

I don't think that the DC version ever actually got released though. I remember DC-UK reviewing it and saying it was brilliards, but then DC-UK shut down and I cried for days.

I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually hit every format, but the next gen ones for Nintendo and Sony.

The original went to PS2 and they even made a DC version, years after the original PC release.

There, proved it. Oh, you mean you want proof?

Do 43 screen shots prove it enough for you?
