Sweet! Now THAT is a compliment to a fellow company's game. You go do that and release a good Half-Life 2 360 port, Valve!

Thankfully, we don't have that rule here... other than on the BioShock launch date when a lot of my fellow designers mysteriously disappeared for the rest of the day.

Yeah, that's one hell of a compliment. But it's true. It's hard to want to play/work on anything else when you know you got an amazing game just waiting to be finished.

Is there something wrong with the 360 version?

Originally Half-Life 2 was nearly unplayable on the 360.

It seems like he's talking about the Orange box on 360.

I tihnk he was just implying something along the lines of "**** yeah, Valve! Good for you! Now make a great game!"

I thought he was referring to the ***-awful emulation of the original XBox Half-Life 2 on the 360.

That's what it sounds like to me.

Not as bad as Marvel vs Capcom 2, where the sprites were invisible. How the hell could they release it in such a state? :(

Not to change the subject; I am looking forward to the Orange box especially that portal game. I really think it is mind blowing. Plus I like those puzzle games. Anyone else?
