Having the physical game feels much more substantial than the downloaded data, imo. I'll always go after the hard copy.
dang, beat me to the punch.

just finished ep2. it was pretty crazy all the way through, kept the pace going. loved all the small addons like the grubs/hunters and whatnot.. the ending sorta makes me wonder where the series could be headed next...
portal is great, its a bit of a mindf*ck at first but once you learn how everything works its a lot of fun. i guarantee a few of the puzzles will stump you for a lil bit
TF2 i havent played much yet, but so far so good. the classes seem balanced which is nice because i was expecting it to be all heavys/engineers like it was in tfc

I can see your point, but because these games rely on Steam, if the company goes out of business (the reason most people like a hard copy), you can't play it anyways, because it requires the Steam client to use.Having the physical game feels much more substantial than the downloaded data, imo.

The online portions, yeah. Single player games will obviously be untouched. But it's a moot point, Steam is now a large subsidiary of Valve. As long as Valve and steam powered games exist, they will have no other option but to keep it rolling. Lest they call down the critical wrath of gamers the world round.

I got Team Fortress 2 on its own via steam for around £17 I've been waiting around 6 years for this. The quality of the game is amazing they used every graphical trick going and the animation is very similar to Pixars style. Downlading Portal now I wasn't sure about that game from reading about it but the Youtube vids have won me over such a good idea and use of computer abilities for a puzzle. Another bonus is these Valve games run smooth on hardware thats even over 3 weeks old. A big warning though Team Fortress 2 will prevent you from doing jobs at home I'm glued to it now such a laugh being in a comedy team combat game with 32 human players working their nuts off to capture a few feet of land.
