HL2 is probably overrated in that category.  While it has been put
off, it's in a manner no different than other small scale game delays.
HL2 was being worked on, but there wasn't a specific release date made
until it was almost finished development.  

This is unlike DN4E/WC3, where the release date was *way* past
whatever was expected (which is the vapourware threshold.)
