Orange Box Turns Gold

Posted by Zonk on from the medic! dept.

Dr. Eggman writes "GameDaily.com announces that at long last, Half-Life: The Orange Box has gone gold. The release date has been set for October 10th. Although Valve recently announced that the company shall reevaluate episodic content, Newell has spoken to CVG, reassuringly stating that there is lots of Half-Life left at Valve. Expect more interesting stories like Portal to come out of Valve as they trickle out what they refer internally to as 'The [Half-Life] Bible.'"

    I thought about buying this for the console a few weeks back. But then, I realized, I should I dish out $65 for games that I already played on the PC several years ago?

    Thanks to the, um, "ease" of programming that Sony seems to delight in for their consoles, it might be a bit delayed.

    This isn't exactly anything new, Valve has been very transparent on the disaster that is developing for the PS3. Just try a simple Google search.

    The release date hasn't officially been pushed back - yet - but it wouldn't surprise me if they had to. They probably wanted to release for platforms that people actually own rather than deal with the PS3 version.
