For all you Half-Life 2 fans who’ve collected enough dough to buy the game pack when it releases, I’ve got some bad news. The Half-Life 2 Black Box and Orange Box have been delayed, yet again. The game will see a Fall 2007 release (I wouldn’t be surprised if it creeps into early 2008), so you’ll just have to wait to get your hands on Team Fortress 2 and Portal, which will be shipped in the same package. Although Valve blesses us with some of the best multiplayer shooter titles out there, I wish they were a bit more punctual. Here's something for those of you who don't know what the Black Box and the Orange Box are: The Black Box will ship for the PC, and includes Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal and Team Fortress 2. The Orange Box will ship for the PC, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, and Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system, and includes all the content of The Black Box, plus the original Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One. Innovative games included in The Black Box and The Orange Box include: • Half-Life 2: Episode Two -- the second installment in Valve’s episodic trilogy advances the award-winning story, leading the player to new locations outside of City 17. “In less than 18 months, we’ve shipped 10 new products to retail outlets with EA Partners,” said Gabe Newell, co-founder of Valve. “The Black Box and The Orange Box represent a new approach to publishing multiple products, on multiple platforms and we know through our experience that no organization in the industry is better equipped to successfully launch new product types on multiple platforms than EA Partners.” “Valve is one of the world’s premiere independent developers and EA Partners is thrilled to help them bring the groundbreaking action games in The Orange Box and The Black Box to market as their publishing partner,” said David DeMartini, vice president and general manager of EA Partners. The Black Box and The Orange Box are targeted for release in Fall 2007. For more information, please visit www.steamgames.com |
