    You can get free copies of Half life: Lost coast and the multi player Half life 2: Deathmatch if you own an Ati Radeon graphics card. All you do is click the link here and download the Steam application. Applies to current and new Steam users.

    Link.

    Once you download steam you can get loads of demos there too.

    If you're looking for some games to buy you might check out the Orange Box on steam too, it contains 5 top class games and is widely regarded as a bargain. It's €50 in the shops in Ireland and comes up as $50 online so some savings to be had. Buying all the games seperately would cost $130.

    It still works....

    It's from less than 6 months ago. Some people have to find a way to complain about absolutely everything, don't they?

    Lost Coast is nothing more than a technical demo,its only one level and can be finished in no time,not worthy of a download imo,Deathmatch is very good though,still play it now and again....

    Orange Box is actually cheaper to buy elsewhere online than off Steam after they add the tax. Saved about a fiver getting it from hmv.co.uk. Play and gameplay.co.uk still work out cheaper than Steam.

    After installing Steam and attempting to Download the free games I received a message saying that I qualify for the offer .

    when I clicked next a message is displayed saying that its a duplicate request for the account and I can't download the games.

    I assume that the offer has actually expired ( as I had only just completed registration and had not attempted previously to download the 2 games )

    has anyone else had the same problem?

    please let me know.

    I don't think the offer is expired. It worked 2 days ago for me.

    I have googled this and it appears a lot of people are having the same problem with downloading the game as I

    eg: http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/arcmessageview.php?catid=22&threadid=735810

    be prepared for this not to work.

    Thats terrible guys- it worked for me just 2 days ago.

    All I can offer by way of consolidation is a link to a free Chapter from Sam & Max - Abe Lincoln Must Die. Think it just came out this week. It's very highly rated. Linky.

    Works for everyone not just Ati users.
