Half-Life 2 heading to the Xbox this summer

Half-Life 2A British Microsoft source has claimed that the Xbox port of Half-Life 2 will be released in Europe in September.  Valve's Dave Lombardi has also suggested that the Xbox version should be finished by late summer—US reports claim August.  Lombardi added that the "Aftermath" (PC add-on) content would not be added to the Xbox version.

There was some speculation that Half-Life 2 would become a launch title for the Xbox 360, but it's safe to say that those rumors have been officially laid to rest.  But perhaps that would have been a more favorable option, as recent grumblings around the web have complained that the visuals have taken quite a hit in the Xbox translation.  Whatever the case, this new version should be exactly the same as the original (PC) as far as content goes.  We'll keep you posted.
