I recommend the silver pack on steam... Gets all the games for the same price as what would get you only HL2+CSS in stores.
The price steam shows ($59.95) is USD but the australian dollar's not too bad atm and AFAIK the store version is still ~$80. Hurry up DoD:S :( |

It's a free download if you've purchased HL2 silver/gold packs off steam... Otherwise youll have to buy DoD:S on its own through steam or over the counter (i believe Activision is publishing a retail version)

that's really quite stupid. hl2 is the main game, which should provide the game engine. All mods derived off that and using the source engine should be free imho, just like the original game/mods were. Paying for a game, and then the mods is the stupidest thing ever.

The same reason we are paying Microsoft for all these games they didn't make.
