Steam Games for Free
Valve have announced plans to deliver free games to all owners of ATI Radeon graphics cards may receive a free copy of Half-Life? 2: Lost Coast and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch via Steam. Steam will automatically confirm the presence of ATI Radeon(tm) hardware and then enable immediate access to full versions of the games free of charge. Click here ATI owners for free things Oh and...

And, as recently announced by AMD, customers who purchase the new ATI Radeon(tm) HD 2900 XT will also receive, upon release via Steam, the highly anticipated trio of new games coming from Valve: Team Fortress? 2, Portal(tm), and Half-Life 2: Episode Two.
How lovely!

I think we can see that as a confirmation that the Black Box is still available on Steam.

How could you pick 2 of the 3 games though? Valve is truly nuts now. The games are now dirt cheap. Hey look, that new Tomb Raider demo is out on Steam! *Eh didn't like the game too much.

Hmm nice, just added Half-Life 2: Deathmatch to my CS:S account. Was surprisingly easy to do.

I do occasionally lie, making people happy then shattering dreams. (but as seen above, not today!)

I think this is pretty much an attempt to get more users playing deathmatch, and some publicity for ATI too.

Kind of surprised that these 'games' hadn't been free before now really... Lost Coast is shorter than the actual HL2 demo

Tbh, this is the only thing about VALVe that bothers me. The way they're allying themselves with ATi is just plain lame (even if I do have an ATi card) :/

Yes, for HL2 owners. It's now free for ATI card owners.
