If the guys at EuroGamer are to be believed, we'll be seeing Half-Life 2 in stores November 23 (North America) and November 26 (Europe), despite recent legal news. This according to sources at Vivendi Universal Games and recently contacted UK retailers. The story also mentions there won't be online reviews of the game until it hits stores.

A VU Games source told Eurogamer this morning: "There is a good chance Half-Life 2 will make it before this Christmas. We're targeting the holiday season", adding that until it physically had a gold master it couldn't set an exact date. Nevertheless, the publisher is clearly confident behind the scenes that it can make the pre-Christmas rush, with marketing plans being prepared
