If you haven’t heard Valve has announced its expansion of the Steam platform to Mac. Pretty big deal as with it, comes a sack full of good games that should benefit from the new audience. Games including the likes of the Half-Life franchise, Portal, Left 4 Dead*, L4D2, Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike, with Portal 2 marked as the first dual release for both computer platforms.

All that said, the best part of the announcement is the reveal that all these games will support cross-platform play between PC and Mac gamers. Thanks for sharing the love Valve.

I’ll make this short and sweet as I’m merely wasting the precious seconds you have to go take advantage of the offer mentioned in the title. EXOR Studio’s action racing game Zombie Driver is only $2.50 through the very small window of now until tomorrow morning (12/28) at 9 AM PT on Steam.

Just so we’re clear, that’s 100% vehicular zombie homicide for only 25% the price. If you’re looking for more, Valve’s digital distribution monster has been offering up a huge sale on a large amount of their catalog over the past several days, with titles big and small at a small fraction of their typical price.

Imagine you’re being chased by a horde of people who have lost the ability to distinguish between brains and cocaine-laced chocolate pudding in a bowl shaped like your head. Now you can experience the joy of being vomited upon, thrown into walls and strangled alongside, and sometimes by, your closest friends.

Welcome to New Orleans.

Valve has lost its marbles, offering up an absurd deal for their excellent class-driven FPS Team Fortress 2 by discounting the popular game over 80% on Steam through 2 PM PT Today. That only gives you an hour, hurry!!!

Earlier tonight at a press event in San Francisco, Valve unveiled a brand new multiplayer (versus) mode to be included in Left 4 Dead 2. Scavenge is the name of the game; and if you thought your L4D experiences were frantic before, well..you had every right to, it’s not like you knew about this yet. Onward to the details!

A very well crafted video was posted on Youtube that resembles what a live action Half-Life might look like. Some think it may be teasing a new Valve game and I wouldn’t be surprised. You have to see this, it kicks quite large amounts of ass.
