    Does steam let you transfer games to another computer? I have all my steam games on my desktop back home and was just wondering...because I have a lot of games on steam.

    No Way! I bought the box when it was like 40 bucks! I loved playing all of it too.

    Especially Portal! Although it only lasted like 30 mins. :p

    I bought it for $40 as well.


    I would have easily paid THREE times that amount, the package is just so amazing.


    So anyone who hasn't got it, it's the deal of the century! (In videogaming).

    ARom, Left 4 Dead does have a single player mode, but it's identical to multiplayer. The only difference is, your teammates are bots instead of actual online players.

    Count me in. I've been waiting for this.

    I hope it goes on sale at the end of the weekend, or that they at least extend it to a weekend of free game play.

    it is through steam so it is only activated for one day. You have to have steam in order to use it.

    Merged + added.

    Most likely there won't be a sale right away, since I'm sure Valve is hoping the free play will convince some people they should buy it right when it's over, but one can always hope for a sale :) With the new DLC though, I'd say it's worth the $40.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the free day is extended for the weekend and it's put on sale.

    Don't count on it though.

    I think I will have to find a way to get this one, when I log into steam I see a lot of you playing it instead of TF2 and I never really cared for TF2 much.

    While I didnt like what I saw in 1 player, multiplayer looks like it could be good.
