Half Life 2 gets US release date

HaloJ has spotted a little titbit regarding the US release date of Half Life 2. It looks like the Orange Box is due to hit the shops on October 9th. As usual we have no indication of when the game will be out in Europe. Let's hope that the regionalisation of the title will be speeded on by the fact that it's already been done for the PC version.

HL2 is one of the most anticipated titles of the year, not least because the PS3 version is going to have Team Fortress, Portal and Episodes 1 & 2 included. Sounds good, though I think that Portal might make my brain ache.
