 - Amazing dealThree great games in one well priced package. Portal is one of the most unique games in a long time, very entertaining. Half-life 2 and it's expansions make for some enjoyably tense FPS gameplay. It's use of physics is something few other games can offer. Team Fortress 2 is another unique Valve product. Finally a multiplayer FPS that stresses teamwork! Rating:  - Beware of Steam ...Just a warning to potential buyers: This game requires you to install and use 'Steam', a DRM/spyware combination, in order to install the product, even if you have no intention of ever playing online. I stupidly broke the seal on the package without noticing this, making my purchase un-returnable. Luckily I was able to sell my copy to a friend who does not share my philosophical objections to this kind of software. Rating: - Fun and addictiveI purchased this product almost a month ago, and I've admittedly only played TF2 and HL2 (haven't gotten around to Portal yet), but this was an excellent value. It does take time to set up the required steam account and download all the needed software to play, but it's well worth it. The main reason I bought the product was to play TF2, and I would have paid the full price just for that game alone . . . an excellent online experience, truly a team game. Rating: - steam is an absolute piece of junkWell... I have to admit that HL2 is a good game, but steam is an absolute piece of junk. I mean steam literally spoils the whole fun of owning the game. If you have a firewall like zone alarm, steam can really be a pain. I played HL2 and then just gave up on episode 1 onwards. My computer has a quad core processor with a 8800 GTS card but Episode 1 crashes so frequently that I have just given up playing the game. I have been gaming for quite a while and this is one of the worst game I have come across (frequent crashing + steam). What a waste of money. About steam: It's a malware (you can also call it a spamware) program without which your games just wont run. If you are not connected to to the internet, you can expect all sorts of unexpected behaviors. It loves you show you a lot of junk that you have not asked for. Invest your money somewhere else. Rating: - Steam Sucks to no endI bought this game used on Amazon. Steam will not let me play it because it says it is registered to someone else. I tried all the recomended help settings with no answers to any of my e-mails. Thank The Lord for the nice woman who I bought it from giving me my money back plus shipping. I have bought my last game involving steam lic. Most of the reviews are done by Steam employees.
