Thats weird I posted this at 7:30 and it didn't show up...What with the moderation on this forum?

Oh well It's bargain and deserves an airing.

This was originally posted on a couple of *cough* other less salubrious forums.

BIGGEST bargain ever!!!


Anyone who has a capable PC and doesn't buy/play these games deserves to be shot. Think about it, it contains the best online PC game of the year (TF2), the best single player experience of the year (Portal) and some crappy game which no one has heard of called Half Life 2 and its sequels :nuts:

Absolutely not. The Source engine is one of the best out there and will run happily on really quite lowly PCs.

Recommended for anyone who likes shooters - it really is a brilliant package, and at that price you cannot go wrong!

qestions...

Ono
11-12-2007, 11:39
Ideally play:

HL2
Ep 1
Ep 2

Portal - start when you are half way through HL2
TF2 anytime as it's standalone,

Is this cheaper than the steam price?
listerdude
11-12-2007, 12:23
Yes cheaper than steam and you get the physical disks for quicker reinstallation it you need to.

Roughly £24.50 on steam.

to be honest this is one game you wont mind even if you spanked 40 quid on it

(unless you already have paid for seperate full releases of hl2, hl2:ep1 and hl2:ep2)

Quite frankly this thing is a beast of a collection, amazing really :eek:

Ummm, don't know what has happened there, but if you google for 'half life portal' it will bring up a link which explains OK. Strange! :thinking:

I was after the sequels to HL2 (just started Lost Coast*) and this is cheaper than updating my STEAM sub. Cheers, m'dear.
