Admittedly they're mostly just the 360 Orange Box achievements, but what can you do?

Daww, you had me hoping for Portal-style Episode 3 hints...

 

[Firetaffer]

Half-life 2 is also 30% off.
But you should have it anyways.

Nice that they keep updating their games but give us Episode 3 already, seriously...

I've been waiting for it for a while. Glad to see they're not giving up on us.

You ninja'd my topic about it by a minute...

Nice, but now I have to download Half Life 2 again... wait a minute, I've got the disc, yay!

Here we go!

It hasn't been nine years yet, stop being impatient...

But still no TF2 for mac. It's got the apple logo by it's name but just says coming soon for mac. Sad times

Apparently the graphical updates are nothing too major. Several textures have been improved, the Vortiguants now look like they do in Episode Two, and the flashlight now casts dynamic shadows. Still nice to receive an update to a five year old single-player game.

Gordon's law is once again invoked.

On-topic: Well I'm glad that they added the achievements from the 360 Orange Box to the PC. I can understand the reasoning behind that. But what exactly are these "improved graphical updates"? Are these just effects carried over from the 360 version to the PC? Or are they something completley new? Seems unnecessary at this point to update the graphics of Half-Life 2.
