Attn: NVIDIA User, Free goodies from Valve!

[IcEWoLF]

In a somewhat shocking display of support for graphics giant NVIDIA, the guys over at Valve have offered free goodies for those running NVIDIA graphics cards, including Portal: The First Slice, a special version of the game we all love. Included in this pack is Half Life 2: Deathmatch, Peggle Extreme (for those who didn't get Orange Box) and Valve's own tech demo attempt, Half Life 2: Lost Coast. All of this, for free.
Excited? Got your Portal Gun ready? All you need to do is visit this website, download the auto-detection software, and you should be downloading in no time!

Portal: First Slice is free for all NVIDIA Gamers

Enjoy everyone.

What is that D/L they require us to get?

 

[IcEWoLF]

That is called STEAM, you have to make a STEAM Account in order to play any Valve games.

Steam is like Xbox Live/PSN for your PC. A community for all of your Steam games, it became fairly popular a few years ago and some use it as an alternate form of distribution for their games.

So you guys are saying you can verify that it is safe and free of "crap"?

I can verify that its DEMO of Peggle Extreme and Portal th First Slice is also a demo...
and seeing Steam seemed to slow my system down once i had it on (I think it does P2P file sharing), I uninstalled it as fast i found all that out.

I have Steam and play DOD source and CS. It's good product. I only run it when I am playing games online.
