BBFC in possession of Valve"s game to slap on an age rating. Surely this means it"s done. Doesn"t it?
Valve Software"s Half-Life 2 has been submitted to the BBFC for certification, we"ve learnt this afternoon, news which adds credence to recent rumours that Vivendi is shortly to announce that the hotly anticipated first-person shooter sequel has finally "gone gold".
Speaking under strict conditions of anonymity, an industry insider squealed earlier informing us that "as far as Vivendi is concerned, the game [Half-Life 2] is finished" before saying that the title had been passed to PEGI (Pan European Games Information age rating system) for classification, which in turn passed the sequel to the BBFC for certification. The industry insider added that a November release is now looking "extremely likely".
