I didn't use it up until just a month ago so I have no personal
experience with it when it came out. But my experience over the last
few weeks has been very good. All the 5 games played flawlessly with
no crashes or problems (unlike Bioshock). And they ran pretty well on
my 2 year old system.

Well, I took my HL2 CD's installed them, put in my old STEAM account
info and was up and running. This time it didn't even ask for the long
code on the envelope. Not so bad.

Steam was a steaming pile of dogshit when HL2 came out back in 2004. The bloat
was beyond any overhead previously encountered. I was given a coupon that
entitled me to a "free" verison of Half Life 2 stemming from an ATI purchase,
however that "free" game then had $15 "shipping and handling" fe
Me too - I snag a no-cd exe or mini-image for all my games so I don't
need the disc as well but Steam is much easier with the auto updating
and no need to redo the image/exe every patch.

I've got a Athlon 64 3000+, 2GB DDR, and X1950XT video card and all
the Orange Box games work fine on medium settings. I don't know if
you would be able to just buy the other 4 games. They do sell each of
them separately but they are about $30-$40 each as opposed to $50 for
all 5.

I think your friend is talking about something else. Steam is the
content delivery service that Valve came up with to combat piracy.
Basically if you have Steam installed and an account you can purchase
games and download them to your HD instead of buying the box and
installing it. The pros are t
Pros and cons ?
Have a friend says he can give me some games IF I have a steams account. Isn't
this something to do with cheating or something. Have not investigated. Have
tried to stay clear of games that require these kind of options

Most folks do not have any reason that they would need to know their internet
