The latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine has confirmed an Xbox version of Half-Life 2, with some brief details.

• Improved lighting effects, it looks better than on PC
• Loading times doesn't differ from PC-Version, due to a new Streaming technology
• The controls are adapted to the joypad, auto-aiming has been included
• They are working on the airboat/buggy controls, because it is too difficult to steer and shoot on the same time
• The Source-Engine has been adapted to Xbox, so Xbox developers can license it now
• The textures are less detailed than on PC because of the ram (64 MB)
• There will be NO multiplayer in the game, not even via Xbox Live
• It's not announced if it will be possible to download new stuff, but there was no clear NO
• Release date: Summer 2005 (USA)

Sounds interesting, I wonder how they will be able to pull it off on the xbox. I dont doubt their abilities, but I seriously doubt that it will be out this summer.
