    If you have an ATI Radeon card, go to

    and get set up with HL2:Lost Coast + DM =]

    If you have an nVidia card, go to

    and get HL2:Lost Coast & DM, plus Peggle Extreme and Portal:First Slice demo (a slightly better deal, credit goes to EIement, first poster below)

    They're not really games. HL2: Lost Coast was released as a tech demo to show off the Source engine's new HDR lighting effects (back before Episode One, when HDR really was new). Portal: First Slice is just a demo of the full game Portal. Peggle Extreme is also a demo. The only one that's a true full game is HL2: Deathmatch, although it's laggy as hell and hardly anyone plays it these days.
