The 'Valve Complete Pack' looks a good deal although as said above many people already have most of the games in that list, also, think how long it would take to download all of those! :o

Also, it mentions Half Life: Source, I thought they were calling that Black Mesa?

Either way I'll be buying HL:Source once my 9GB high res pack has finished downloading, in about 3 years time. :(

Not sure if you're joking? But HL:S and Black Mesa are two completely seperate games.

No I wasn't kidding I just assumed, seeing as they are technically the same game, the only difference being that Half Life: Source was a straight port of the original utilising some of the source engine but maintaining the original textures, and Black Mesa is going to be a complete recreation of the original Half Life using the source engine.

Half life source was valves attempt at modernizing the original game by sticking it through the source engine. Unfortunately they didn't bother to do things properly and all it ended up as was a high res version of what went before.

Black Mesa is a fan made mod that aims to succeed at what HL source failed at.
 
One hopes that this is a subtle hint for the 3 gamers in the world who haven't played Half Life, that the 3rd episode of HL2 maybe on it's way...

...then again.
 
Great Deal.

Half Life series is imo, the very best first person shooters made.

Shame I have them all :p
