Valve bundles 22 games for USD 99 News

PC News by Robert Purchese

17 November, 2008

Valve has bundled a whopping Complete Pack of games together on Steam for a quite ridiculous discount price.

In total there are 22 titles, including Left 4 Dead, all of the Half-Life series, both Team Fortress outings, Portal, the Counter-Strike collection, the pair of Day of Defeat games and Peggle Extreme.

Individually, that amounts to USD 234 (GBP 157). But Valve is selling the Complete Pack for just USD 99 (GBP 66). Blimey. And the collection is available in just about every language.

Left 4 Dead, incidentally, launches tomorrow on Steam. You can expect our thoughts this week.

Head over to the Steam website for more information on the Complete Pack, or, you know, to buy it.

A bargain, indeed. Although, to be totally fair, I'm not sure I'd want about 18 different Half-Life games, mods or spin-offs and about three other games. Great as Valve are, their back-catalogue isn't exactly varied, is it?

A bargain except most of us will own at least 2 to 3 of those titles already. In my case closer to all of them!

i own all of them except for left4dead, this has to be the best value pack that has ever been on steam for people who for some reason dont have the bulk of them already.

Already own most of them and, thanks to the orange box, some twice.
Left 4 Dead is amazing, filled with zombie blasting goodness!

I didn't even know what steam was until I tried (and failed) to get FM up and running the other day.

Having never played Half Life 2 before, I did purchase and download that for next to nothing. Might give it a go later.

The l4d demo seems to be very easy, it's almost impossible to die. Does anyone know if this is representative of the gameplay in the full version?

We played it on advance and died 3 times in the underground alone...I have a tendency to run ahead with an automatic shotgun, blasting zombies in the face...

Umm, if you pre ordered it on Steam then it's your own fault for missing the "PACKAGES THAT INCLUDE THIS GAME: Buy Valve Complete Pack" that's been right underneath the add to cart button for a couple of days now.

If you didn't pre order off Steam, it's your own fault that you're paying more than £20 for it.

Sorry. :(

What I find mildly annoying about eurogamer is that despite the name the prices listed are rarely, if ever in euros.

Everyone already owns most of them. Pointless. Give us something new!

Heh, sellouts!

I'm actually one of the few (five) who doesn't own all, although I just bought orangebox for about 12£. Being 3-4 years behind everyone [because I'm a cheap bastard combined with having a job] sure is bargain bliss. Just finished hl2 and I'm on episode1 now, my pc would be a ninja-pc if i stepped into my time machine and went back to hl2 release date. Sadly it can only go back in time...so I only use it when I get BSOD and have forgotten backup.

"Has L4D been reviewed anywhere yet?"

Edge gave it 9, Official Xbox Magazine (the US version I think) gave it 9.5.

I gave the demo 9 and am rocking back and forward in anticipation for Friday.

I own them all, L4D isn't here yet but I've got it coming from Amazon... Probably have spent close to £200 for them over the years.

This is rip-off not bargain - that's 99usd+vat tax for start.

And huge numbers of those mods used to be free for any half-life one owner (DoD, CS, richochet) or were half price discounted during their lifetime (css, cs, dod, dods. tf2) hell some of them came free with ati gpus for years.

I liked what I saw of Left 4 Dead on the 1UP Show; but I refuse to boot into Windows except in an emergency.

I've been booting into windows for Fallout a LOT these past weeks. But I feel my Mac is starting to resent me.
Wonder if left for dead runs in Crossover games?

lol@people who seem to be missing the point of this pack. If you already own all of them, or most of them, valve doesnt want your money. this is aimed at people who dont own them but will be swayed by the value offered

play left 4 dead on versus mode, you will get booned
