Heya,

Steam is kinda hard to explain.. It's an interface from which you start games, find servers, chat with other players (via a Buddy list), and purchase games. It simply downloads them to your computer and boom, you got it.

And it should be noted that it is Valve's invention, so the only games it actually works with are Valve games.

Heya,

Woops! I was actually going to mention this; it was written in my post before I changed it.. I just forgot to put it back in

Steam is a wonderful thing, despite what many old-school HL folks will tell you. Anything is better than WON.net anyways.

This comes out tomorrow. The only review I've found so far is from PC gamer (and it was just a blurb).

"Surpasses Half-Life in every way. Arguably the best game ever made. 98%" -PC Gamer

The review at www.gamespot.com should be up by noon today.

P.S. An FYI -- A 98% is the highest rating PC Gamer has ever awarded a game.

Man...Gamespot only gave it a 9.2. I'm sure it's still going to be amazing, though. They gave it a difficulty rating of "Medium," where Half-Life got a "Hard"...this is good. I want to be able to finish it without resorting to cheats.

I plan on watching X-Play's Half-Life 2 episode at 11, and then booting up the game as soon as the clock hits midnight. I can't wait.

EDIT: D'oh! I just realized today is the fifteenth. The Half-Life 2 episode of X-Play isn't until tomorrow. Ah, well.

This is, bar none, the best video game I have ever played in my life. Period.

Anyone else get to play it yet?

I preordered mine over a month ago. I dunno when stupid amazon.com will have it sent to my house. I have San Andreas and Halo 2 to play until then anyway.
