Though, I don't know how HL2 is for the xbox. Plus it doesn't come packaged with CSource like it does for the PC, which is where most of hte game's replay value comes from.
Hmm.. well here are gamespots good and bad about Half-Life 2 for xbox :
The Good Epic single-player campaign; strong visual style with cool environments and cooler enemies; physics engine lets you manipulate the environment in cool ways; top-notch voice acting and storytelling; a highly immersive experience from start to finish.
The Bad No multiplayer gameplay whatsoever; the frame rate struggles most of the time, and downright dies on occasion; nothing to differentiate the xbox game from its pc counterpart, save for its flaws.

And here are gamespots good and bad about Resident Evil 4 (I assumed you meant PS2 version) :
The Good Incredibly amazing audiovisual presentation; excellent, bloody, in-your-face shooting action; suspenseful, lengthy storyline keeps you guessing; astonishing boss battles; plenty of extras give lots of replay value--separate ways side story exclusive to ps2.
The Bad Some uncharacteristically goofy dialogue; a couple of minor graphical blemishes.
from my point of view.. resident evil for ps2 looks like the better buy, as hl2 on xbox has no multiplayer and doesnt really compare to the pc version, in terms of framerate and graphics
I wondered the same thing. When people ask if they should by RE4 and doesn't state at what console I am logically thinking he/she is thinking about the GC version.
cuz if he's just recently purchasing something, I'm just stickin with the most current releases (even if Hl2 isnt exactly current).. plus ps2 RE does have those extras, correct?.. why would one do the injustice of purchasing something with less content for the same price?
if he posted this awhile ago I'd have posted the good n bad for cube

RE4, HL2 is awesome but I feel the replay value is far more limited against the thrill of RE4... both are great games though... I'd suggest getting both in the long run.
