Five leading modifications mark debut of Mods On Steam. Age of Chivalry, D.I.P.R.I.P., Insurgency, Synergy, and Zombie Panic are now available free of charge on Steam.

Valve has been supporting the MOD community since the company's inception, offering updates to the SDK, holding MOD Expos and being the first to bring a MOD to retail with Counter-Strike in November 2000," said Doug Lombardi, vice president of marketing at Valve. "The debut of these MODs on Steam marks the beginning of a new level of support for the MOD community by putting the leading MODs at the finger tips of over 15 million targeted gamers.

the MODs will receive automatic updates just like other games on Steam. Also, these MODs now take advantage of Steamworks, providing stat tracking and tighter integration with the Steam community.

Of course you need a Source Engine game to be able to play these mods, that's why Valve are now offering Half-Life 2: Episode One for just $4.99 "an easy entry into the world of Source MODs".
