From Halfliferadio.com:
It's 2004 and the guessing game that is predicting when the most awaited sequel of the year is going to be released (no, not Halo 2) has started. When will Half-Life 2 be released?
There is already talk of the SDK (Software Development Kit), but we heard this news before on Half-Life Radio when Valve mentioned the Steam SDK release. A month later, we are hearing speculation of the HL2 SDK. Valve has told Half-Life Radio that both will be released "soon" but have ruled out that it will be in 2 weeks as many sites have suggested backed with questionable emails.
Having had it's code stolen and the initial release date of Q4 2003 well and truly canned, the whole world had to make do with a load of spectacular looking videos. But it seems both stores and online retailers are having a good go at guessing when we can get our hands on the real thing.
HMV in the UK is stating a release of 2nd April 2004, this is also the date Amazon are predicting. EBgames are saying 31st March, which happens to be a Wednesday, so I’m guessing the 2nd to be the better bet. Valve have set no official release date and the fact that both release dates straddle April Fools Day mean it's difficult to place any confidence in these release dates but we're hoping they are true and we only have a few more months to wait.
Roll on April...
