    i dunno, I just want a package that includes half life 2, half life 2:ep1, half life 2:ep2, counter-strike:source, and MAYBE day of defeat source (I want to try it). I'm tired of having to logon to my cousins accounts just to play source.

    if you want DoD and CS:S im pretty sure there is a package that has

    hl2:dm
    cs:s
    DoD source

    for like $30? that was a good deal for me, i play all three games.

    if you then get the orange box, you won't be rebuying any games.

    TF2!!!!

    Why can't you get Episode Two and TF2 by themselves? I've already got the rest so it seems weird to have to buy everything again.

    i would say wait, becuase HLF 2 is 30 bucks alone, and EP 1 is 10- 15 bucks, and EP 2, will be at least 20, TF 2, will be worth 500, but will be sold for 30. So it is a hell of a deal. So i would say wait.

    i never think of them in individual prices because steam/valve has always sold these games in packages.
