Those games are part of the Orange Box, but weren't available to play on the Mac OSX until now. Of course, if you already own the Orange Box, you won't need to buy the game again for the Mac.

So, Steam Macnesday gives us...

Half Life 2 - $6.99
HL 2 Ep 1 - $5.59
HL 2 Ep 2 - $ 5.59
EVE Online - $19.99

A little disappointed with with the price...

Oh... So there are no bundle prices? Hmm... Need to pay almost $20 for the whole HL series... Too bad I dont have the windows version.. So have to buy them seperately now...

Or you could go buy the Orange Box... Not sure how much it is now, but you'll get 5 games for the price of one.

im not really sure on the procedure here...

i own the orange box. in the Steam app, under Library > Games, HL2 is listed there. i clicked on "Install" n now im downloading HL2 but the size is only 1013 MB

doesnt look correct :S how eh?

That's weird. The download size listed on my Steam was around 4GB

Maybe some of the data file is share with the Portal Game (After all they are using the same Source engine.), that is why the download is around 1GB (1013MB)? Just click download n let Steam sort it out for you, I believe it is smart enough to download whatever files you need.

Ojimaru, why the disappointment? Be thankful for Valve porting the Steam platform and open up a new market for games developer... Porting a game from DirectX to OpenGL is no easy job and not zero cost. I am very impress that Valve took the effort, time and resource to do it.

Currently Orange box is also offer for $20.99. (Include all the episodes + Team Fortress 2!)
If buy all the episodes separately: $18.17
Must well fork out extra $3 and you will get Orange box. It is like paying $3 more just for the Team Fortress 2...

i guess Bunkerer is correct. i already download portal, so i already have the whole steam engine thing on. so steam juz downloads the necessary files for HL2. damn that's smart

i tried out HL2 a bit... until the part where i met alyx. no problems so far. have to continue on my assignments now

This is the reason I'm disappointed. As I understand it they only needed to apply the conversion once to the Source engine, which powers most of Valve's games.

My guess is that the Mac Orange Box will be released when Team Fortress 2 makes the jump.

why there's no world of goo demo for mac

A little OT, but saw this interesting blip on Kotaku:

League of Legends Going Mac
http://kotaku.com/5549104/league-of-legends-going-mac

For those wondering, the unfortunately abbreviated game LoL is an RTS in the spirit of the ever-popular Warcraft 3 custom map Defense of the Ancients (aka DotA). The game operates on a free-mium model, i.e. free to play but paying cash unlocks better stuff.

OMG... Dota is coming to mac? Haha... Cool.... WIll definitely download it... but have to wait for summer before its release on Mac... Looks cool after watching the trailer.... But that paying part is a turned off.. LOl

bro where did see the trailer...

The link that ojimaru give? Well not exactly that link but just click on some of the other links there and it will lead u to the website.. Not the game trailer but the new user guide =)

Here's a collection of trailers for League of Legends
http://www.gametrailers.com/game/league-of-legends/10905

actually, there is on their website http://2dboy.com/games.php but im not sure if they have it on steam.

thx! i search in Steam only got the windows version. downloading now~

Oh ya! I have just complete playing Portal.

Now I'm waiting for Counter-Strike.

Replaying Portal for the new achievement. XD Too much fun.

And after 12+ hours of Torchlight, I dusted off my Diablo 2 CDs and played them instead. Besides the game-breaking bugs on the Mac, Torchlight lacks so much of the depth found in Diablo 2. I guess the fact that patch 1.13 is finally live helps too.

btw, World of Goo for Mac is available on Steam. Link
