Half-Life 3 on the XBox 360?
BizidyDizidy writes "According to a slide taken from a spanish XBox 360 presentation, Half-Life 3 will be developed for the new system. Could this be the Halo of the next generation? Combining this with the reported 300 dollar price point and early release date, a rosy picture for XBox seems to emerge. Is a killer-app like HL3 enough to sway you to choose a system?"
Lord, I hope so. That would be awesome. That's where all those doucebag CS kids need to be anyway, either begging their parents for some expensive-ass kiddie konsole or out looking for work, not on Dad's computer looking at porn and playing Manhunt and San Andreas.
CounterStrike has the worst community of any FPS. I dare you, try to play CS:S for 5 minutes without someone insulting you ethnicity or your sexuality. It happens to me every time I get a kill. Just look at all the New Games Journalism pieces that deal directly with HL or one of it's unauthorised modifications.
CounterSteamValve (Well, that and MMOs) is a cancer on the breast of online computer entertainment. It will be a good thing for all those kids to get off the computer. Maybe they can go outside and mow some grass, and earn some money for the next gen console.
Valve would be doing a service to the entire online gaming community, and for the children of America, if they went to Xbox 360 exclusively (an AMERICAN made console BTW).
Only time will tell if gaben & company have the chutzpah to be real men and take a stand against the video games that corrupt our children and saturate our computer networks.
