Half-Life 2 Pack Announced for Xbox 360 & PS3 49
Wowzer writes "Valve's Gabe Newell revealed at EA's annual summer press event that Half-Life 2 will be coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3. It will include all extra content released on the PC and a new puzzle/fps game mode where you blast Prey-like portals into floors and walls. If that wasn't enough, Team Fortress 2 showed up in cartoon-style. From the article: 'The console versions will include: Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Half-Life 2: Portal, and Team Fortress 2. The latter and possibly both will also be included in Half-Life 2: Episode Two on the PC.' Release TBD, but it's in 2006 alongside the PC's Half-Life 2: Episode Two."

I know. First Prey, and now TF2. All we need is Duke Nukem Forever, and the apocalypse will be upon us.

Team Fortress 2! (Score:5, Funny)
Team Fortress 2 gets announced for release, with a new graphical style that's reminiscent of nothing so much as the creepy robots from the film Small Soldiers, and the XBox 360 & PS3 ports get top billing in an article that doesn't even make the front page?
Way to prioritize.

Even if I* do my Amazon shopping at the public library because I don't have Internet access at home? Even if I buy the boxed game, the Steam activation system still requires me to seek permission from library staff to connect my own PC to their network before I can play even the single player missions. Do most public libraries routinely grant such permission?

But wait, there's more! Console gamers get Episode I in there too! The consoles will probably have to pay $60 for the package (if $40 for ep2 TF2 and portal plus $20 for ep1 because they can.) I bet you P

Most specifically, you believe that the position of the Wiimote relative to the center of the screen will be used to determine what direction your character moves in, which I do not expect to be the case. More likely you will use the thumbstick on the nunchuk attachment for that, and the remote's orientation will be used for camera moveme

My only suggestion for TF would be to turn off the "you dying" screaming sounds. After hearing it the first thousand times, you get really tired of hearing it. That, and more maps besodes 2fort. Jeesh!
