Half-Life 2 for Xbox will be pretty, too

The console world will soon be rocked by one of the best games ever made. Half-Life 2 Xbox will probably have a few control kinks in it, but (knowing Valve) I bet it ends up being a sweet port. IGN did a preview over the weekend, and they like what they see. Valve surprised them with the visuals, which will actually outdo the PC in some respects. They also seem to be doing a decent job of handling the lack of a keyboard — though the auto-targeting is a bit worrisome.

The preview includes a clip of the interview, if you're into seeing the faces behind the magic.
