its a bad idea to start off a game's publicity by making a direct comparison with another title. Not least because the game in question will be super-seeded by a Sequel, and probably Half-Life 2 (after Unreal 2, i'm not making any assumptions based on hype and pretty screenshots

). Furthermore, i'll believe it when I see it, so to speak.... 60fps, Havok Physics and good graphics are not somthing i'd expect the PS2 to be capable of. Valve certainly don't think so, otherwise you'd be seeing half-life 2 on the PS2 (though it is supposedly due for X-Box, which i'm sure is great news for some of you, if a little bit more of a blow to the "X-Box isn't a PC in a Box" brigade)... but perhaps its not impossible. And it would appear to be scheduled to give the PS2 a final push... if they see it as a bit optimistic, I expect it'll slip over to the PS3...
