Awesome games. If you haven't played them yet, do it now.

Excellent, I was just looking at their package for these the other day.

Played them all a couple years ago but only the other day I was thinking how nice it would be to have them on Linux and re-play them.

Downloading!

Correct that to: Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, Half-Life 2: Episode 2

Someone was excited when he typed that.

Unfortunately with the clusterfuck that are the video drivers on linux, I guess this won't be the year of linux either, nor the next one, or the next one, or....

Proprietary Nvidia drivers work fine, I get within ~3% of the same performance as I do on Windows with my graphics card when testing various games/benchmarks.

Sweet

What games do we still need?
Defense of the Ancients 2 (DOTA)
Anything else?

Is there any 64-bit Steam client yet?

Things are starting to look good, we got some really good games now.
Portal, Half-Life 2, TF2, L4D2.

I just wish there was a 64-bit Steam...

[Drago]

I just wish there was a 64-bit Steam...

Amen to that, with corresponding 64-bit builds of the games.
