Half-Life 2Some major announcements were made recently by EA's Studio Showcase 2006 Valve. Half-Life 2 for the PlayStation3 and the Xbox 360 will come with Episodes One and Two.

This may mean that we'll getting our grubby paws on the gravity gun before the end of 2006.

Episode Two for the PC will also be launched at the same time Half-Life 2 for the 360 and the PS3 is released. Other delayed promised games for the PC like Team Fortress 2 and Portal will be included free of charge when you purchase Episode 2. So PC stalwarts needn't feel left out.

If only the Xbox 360 and PS3 fans could get this same treat... Oh well. Being able to play Half-Life 2 might just be enough!

"Half life 1 was released for the ps2 aswell"



Yep.



"And you can use the keyboard and mouse combo on the ps3."



That remains to be seen. Whilst the PS3 does support keyboard and mouse, it will only work if the developer offers the option for gamers. Hence we'll have to wait and see.

Or at least release it as a separate game.

Now I have to make a choice 360 HL2 or PS3 HL2 since I'll have both consoles. I guess I'll go for the PS3 one if online gaming turns out to be free.

No doubt CS:S and DOD will be extra content downloads...albeit they would be big...as long as they charge no more then like 1000 pts it would *OK*, but i'd rather have 'em include it with the game....I bought it already, but the 360 will run HL2 better then my PC (which barely runs it at 30fps), so i'll prolly get it if the MP is there....

Just get the Steam version. Then you get every thing free and can make a play Mods! There is nothing better than making your own levels in an award winning engine with the tools the developer gives you! I love making maps of HL2 I hope to release one soon to the public soon...

Well I'm glad I can finally play HL2 at 60fps! but really, I wonder if (by PS3 standards) HL2 will look bad compared to the crazy second-generation PS3 games that will be coming out at the time it's released.
