The key piece of speculation to squash is that moneybags Microsoft hasn't managed to secure the game as an Xbox exclusive, which is understandable when you consider that Half-Life has sold seven and a half million copies worldwide on the PC, and just 500,000 to console owners with the PS2 conversion. Unforeseen Consequences I feel like chicken tonight! Actually, make that the most eagerly-awaited game of all time if those hastily scanned in screenshots are anything to go by.
You see the thing that most softcos haven't quite worked out yet is that plugging leaks on the wonderful Interweb is like trying to use a sieve as a bucket, and so over the last 24 hours the net has been alive with news of possibly the most eagerly awaited first person shooter of all time.
We're not even supposed to know about this game yet, but, aaaah the hilarious joys of print mag exclusives. If you're even near a PC, we'd wager you'll be spending every waking moment swishing a crowbar joyously at hordes of leaping headcrabs in Half-Life 2. I wonder what you'll be doing on September 30th.
