Half-Life 2 hitting Macs tomorrow, via Steam


Earlier this month, Valve launched the Steam download service on Mac. There was much rejoicing, and all the free Portal you could stuff your stupid face with.

Tomorrow, another solid gold Valve classic arrives on Steam for Mac: Half-Life 2. It may be creaking somewhat in the visuals department, but this 2004 (2004!) shooter is still more atmospheric and sophisticated than many of its modern rivals.

No word on price yet, or if we’re getting Half-Life 2: Episode One or Episode Two, but if you’re a Mac devotee who’s not yet sampled this fantastic game, I urge you to do so tomorrow.

One other thing I can’t let go unmentioned: to accompany this announcement, Valve designed a trailer parodying Apple’s now iconic ‘1984’ Macintosh campaign. Valve’s advert and the original commercial it mimics are below:
