Remember when Gabe Newell mentioned that Half-Life 2 for the XBox was the company's biggest disappointment? Like me, you might have noticed an ectoplasmic exclamation point suddenly exude from the peak of your skull, followed by a supine question mark, then a rapid succession of one after another. ?!?!?! Half-Life 2 had an XBox port? Huh? When?
Yeah, it caught many of us by surprise. Gabe may have been disappointed by its sales because, you know, nobody knew about it. But we don't want Valve to give up on consoles cold turkey, so we'll plug here Half-Life 2's second coming to the XBox, this time on the 360 on 5 February, 2007. At least according to EBGames and GameStop, so take with a crystalline boulder of salt for the time being.
Actually, we're curious about this. Early 2007 is when Episode 3 should trickle out, finishing off Half-Life 2's episodic quasi-sequel. It may not make a lot of sense for Valve to redo its only failure for a next-gen console. But maybe they'll release Episodes 1 through 3 on the 360 when it's all been trickled out on the PC?
