Half-Life 2 for Xbox



The original Xbox will take one of its last gasps for air when Sierra releases Half-Life 2 onto the machine later next month. Developer Valve has announced the Xbox port has gone gold, meaning the game is completed and has been sent off to manufacturing.

Xbox owners won't have the additional content access PC owners do through Steam, nor the ability to play online (or offline, for that matter) multiplayer on the Xbox version, but they're the only console owners with a chance to see Gordon Freeman's latest adventure.

Of course, purchasable expansion packs like Aftermath would fit perfectly within the Xbox 360 marketplace, but there's been nothing but idle and baseless rumors that Valve's planning on bringing Freeman up to next-generation speed. Still, one can hope.
