If you get HL Source, there is a free HD textures pack that makes it look even better.

Today's deals are great.
Picked up the Crysis package + Street Fighter IV. Woot!
Hoping MW2 goes on sale some time between now and Sunday and that will just be the icing on the cake.
mass effect, son
damn! 10gb download...
Is anyone else having trouble completing the Mass Effect purchase?
I keep getting an error saying there was an error completing the process.
Played Street Fighter IV for 2 hours last night. Really fun -- a direct port from Xbox 360 so the menus and such are a bit annoying for a PC-gamer-only like me since I don't own any consoles. My brother has this on Xbox however.
I almost felt bad for my brother as I played the game. It looks sooooo much better on PC and I have everything set to the maximum at 1920x1200 and not a hicup or dip below 60 fps v-synced even once. LOL at console fanbois...
I bought Mass Effect for $10 a few months ago, and it's easy to say it's worth far more than the $5 it's at now.
Anybody who doesn't have it should get it now. Just be warned; the game isn't stable, I've had to hard shutdown a dozen times in my playthrough. =/
Anyone looking for a couple good stress-busting shooters for under $2, check these out.

I bought it for $20 in March and it was worth it but yes it's very buggy.
