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
