"Half Life 2"

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

Maybe they should have drawn up a timetable and kept telling the truth to Vivendi instead of keeping them sweet then.

Not only was it confirmed, they released screenshots.

They even stated the reason the other two systems weren't getting it was because they couldn't handle it. Yet they also stated it 'could' be the launch title for either the next Nintendo or Playstation system.

I doubt it'll go much further then the Xbox.

But even then, it's a very PC based game.

So was the first, and that ended up on Playstation 2.

I reckon if it does go to next gen systems, it'll be an exact port of the Xbox version, and so wont make anywhere near full use of the systems.

Prove it.

*picks up Xbox magazine*

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

Do 43 screen shots prove it enough for you?

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.

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.

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.
