Half-Life 2 to be arcade release in Japan

What a very odd choice of game for the arcades. I recall a flight sim (Microprose F-15) being stuffed into an arcade box. Oh how is sat, lonely and neglected in the corner of many arcades.

I remember talk of an Arcade version of DOOM back in the mid-90s, don't know if it happened, but there was a kid playing a DOOM Arcade machine in the film, Grosse Point Blank.

Thing is, DOOM was essentially an Arcade shooter, Half-Life is anything but.

Can't wait for the PC version tho', what with EDGE giving it a perfect 10 (I'm sure that was partly to make up for not giving the original a 10, which it deserved more than Halo).
