I'm kinda tempted to pick this up on 360, but it will proberly be after the festive period. I'v got virtua fighter 5 and call of duty 4 on order and don't have too much spare cash flowing. With any luck I will get it a bit cheaper by then too.

I've played the first two, but I guess it'll be worth lifting the Crowbar of Freedom once again in Episode 2.

Team Fortress 2 is awesome fun. Played Portal for about 5 mins, then went straight onto Episode 2.

All in all, a worthy investment.

Just buy it now, and by the time you download it from Steam - a year will have elapsed

I'm currently at a whopping 6% after nearly an hour.

for steam downloaders (or anyone who regularly downloads large files NOT via torrent networks) try free download manager : Free Download Manager | Download

it splits it up inot 20 pieces or so and downloads them all at once, speeding up your downloads. its 100% legal too.

not sure if it will work with steam mind, worth a shot though. i get DL's up to 725kn/s with it

that about an 15 minutes per 700 mb




got the box, finished portal, half way through HL ep2.

portal is the shit, "the cake is a lie" and all that jazz.

its crazy playing portal thens eeing 'aperture science' equipment throughout HL2 ep2.
