Edit: Nevermind, doesn't apply to Orange Box.

Half Life complete for under £12, very cool. I just bought the Half Life 1 Anthology for £4.

Hotwired · 16 Oct 2009 at 23:05

Wonder how long it'll take to d/l the whole HL set at up to 1mb/s... Hmmz

*examines steam lists*

Normally I'd say these offers are good for newcomers to PC gaming, but to be honest I suspect HL is too dated now for most newcomers.

I'd recommend Orange box to newbies still, but that's not discounted in this offer.

Hotwired · 16 Oct 2009 at 23:26

HL and CS look sadly dated after being on brand new FPS games or even CSS, but you can get used to it.

Sames goes for the first C&C after being on C&C3, the mind boggles to recall how awesome they were once upon a time.

true, a pc newcommer would just rip hl1 apart and compare it to currant xbox games, it would bring a tear to my eye.

You say rip apart, I read discount. As much as I disparaged those raving about Elite and Final Fantasy IV [Famicom/Japanese version} when I first got into gaming, I can appreciate that standpoint now - games aren't what they used to be. The console-ravers nowadays - they just don't know. I feel your pain.

55.8% off? Nah, think I'll wait for a 55.9% offer. 55.9% is the magic number

Aod · 17 Oct 2009 at 01:44

i already own all of those though

But £17 quid for HL2, Ep1, Ep2, TF2 and Portal is still one of the best game deals ever.

Do you get any HL1 stuff with it? When I bought HL2 when it first came out it came with the back catalogue of HL1 games and addons.

Steam is the real gaming hero here.

I hate half-life weekend deals :mad:

................every single gamer already has all these.. :rolleyes:

But they could have done 55.8% off L4D2.....

Secret_Window · 17 Oct 2009 at 08:39

Indeed.

Half Life : Lost coast. I thought this was a 'five minute to complete' demo thing?

Have i actually missed out on a full blown add on?
