Who said a PC in a box was a bad idea?

Half-Life for Xbox Dated
Head of all things Valve, Doug Lombardi - speaking to Planet Half-Life - has confirmed the expected launch date for the Xbox version of Half-Life 2, pencilling in an August completion of the acclaimed PC shooter. What’s more, the game in some form or another is expected to be playable on Microsoft’s stand at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo next month.

So who was it that said putting a PC inside a plastic case and dubbing it a games console wasn't a good idea?

Expect previews and impressions, as well as a review of this version (we foolishly forgot to rate the PC offering) in the summer.

Because you're not in the forums, you're on the news page. Like much of SPOnG, sews still lives in ASP (ick!), whereas the forums are written in Java. This means that it's not a simple "include this chunk we've already written" when functions span the two technologies - we have to rewrite it.

News is on my list to be the next portion of SPOnG to be ported over to Java, at which point you'll get those wonderful buttons. :)

"spong forums supports certain formatting tags, in order to use these tage place the follwoing before and after your text"

Quote = [qu0te]""[/qu0te]
direct quote = [quoties name/quote]""
