Half Life 2

Surely everyone has played Half Life 2 to death, is there any need for Valve to bring the sci-fi shooter to next-gen consoles?

According to U.S retailers, EB Games and GameStop, Half Life 2 will be released on Februaury 5th 2007 on Xbox 360. Valve have already expressed their dissapointment at the sale of the Xbox version of the game, so it would be a bizarre step to bring the game back on a console.

Back in 2003 Valve's Doug Lambardi confirmed that Half Life 2 would make an appearance on both Sony's and Microsoft's next-gen console, but since then there's been little information.

The PS3 version of the game also appears on EB Games's site, without box art.

The headline says “Valve have already expressed their dissapointment at the sale of the Xbox version of the game”

But i remember when the Xbox first came out nearly everyone i know who had an Xbox had a PC too but were saying to me that they would get it on Xbox rather than PC.

But the Xbox version came out so much later the hype had died down and most of them bought it on the PC instead or not at all.

As the old saying goes they should have “struck while the iron is hot”

They will need to give us a lot of incentive to want to buy the game again, and or Hype up the interest for Xbox360, PS3 owners who have not heard of the game to make them really want to buy it.

Wouldn't the PS3 need to exist first? :)
