Half-Life 2 Pack Announced for Xbox 360 & PS3

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the more-crowbar-for-your-money dept.

Wowzer writes "Valve's Gabe Newell revealed at EA's annual summer press event that Half-Life 2 will be coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3. It will include all extra content released on the PC and a new puzzle/fps game mode where you blast Prey-like portals into floors and walls. If that wasn't enough, Team Fortress 2 showed up in cartoon-style. From the article: 'The console versions will include: Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Half-Life 2: Portal, and Team Fortress 2. The latter and possibly both will also be included in Half-Life 2: Episode Two on the PC.' Release TBD, but it's in 2006 alongside the PC's Half-Life 2: Episode Two."

    TF2 after all these many years? My heart is aflutter! Here's hoping TF2 is available on PC as well though...

    Obviously you haven't tried Steam recently (or ever) if you're considering a $300 Xbox 360 an alternative. It's about as painless as an online game distribution system can be. If you're ok with ordering something from Amazon, then you can tolerate Steam. Steam does not make you "do" any "crap," and it's a godsend for indie game developers.

    Yes, let's publish a First Person Shooter for all of the consoles that have the worst FPS-like controls and not a single game for the one console that will have awesome FPS controls, seemingly the best ones yet.
