When E3 came and went with nary a whisper about the next installment, it stung like a headcrab bite. Good news isEpisode 3..."
"Valve marketing boss Doug Lombardi said that the next installment in the Half-Life franchise would not be showing up at E3 2008, shooting down rumors that began circulating the Internet yesterday.

Valve has announced an add-on which will allow users to play any Steam game that they might have in their library directly from any computer. The support, which is known as Steam Cloud, automatically saves your game data, as well as other things thing that you will be able to access from any computer. It's all free and the first games to offer Steam Cloud support will be the Half-Life series, Team Fortress 2, Counterstrike, and Left 4 Dead which is not yet released.

Half Life 2: Deathmatch
Half Life 2: Lost Coast
Peggle Extreme
Total Size = ~6.8GB
