Valve's Steam software introduces a new way of purchasing games. In essence Steam
is a broadband business platform for direct software delivery and content management.
This means you can purchase digital versions of games through Steam and start playing
within minutes of confirming their purchase. You can access the games from any PC
and receive automatic updates.
As well as Half-Life 2 you can find all other Valve titles available to purchase through Steam, and there are an increasing number of third party games appearing. Every game can be purchased singly or part of a package. As an example these are only some of the packages available to purchase through Steam:
