Also the game itself is out....

Holy jesus. It's nearly twice the size of the entire original Half Life.

Blah. Does it bug anyone else that even the DEMO requires a Steam account? "The Man" is starting to require us to subscribe to things to even make use of their product... That's like having to subscribe to Maytag Weekly in order to run your washing machine.

I can MAYBE understand their need to register actual full versions... but the DEMO???

[Colin™]

Yeah, the demo is a bit overboard.

I love steam and all, but damn, its just a demo.

Man am I loving this demo. It looks absolutely fantastic on my PC, I can't believe it. I mean it chugs in certain parts (especially when I make explosions) but damn, it's so fun. I could play the whole game with just the anti-grav gun, I love it. Especially with the saw blades. <3

Just wait until one of the later levels Mikey, when the Grav gun get's a nice little upgrade. That is... if you get the whole game.

[Michael Bluth]

Yeah my cousin was showing it to me.... oh man, can't wait. But I want them to send me the retail version, which is like 6 - 8 weeks. :-/

Wow, I tried playing the demo on my new computer and it crashed.. lol. I'm going to put my GeForce3 in this computer... I think it will run but horribly.
