Free Steam Games for ATI Radeon Owners
Valve has announced that effective immediately, ATI Radeon owners can download a free copy of Half-Life 2: Lost Coast and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch through Steam. The software will automatically confirm the presence of ATI Radeon hardware and offer access to the two games. In related news, Steam will be included with the ATI Catalyst driver and software suit until early 2008 and ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT owners will, upon release, receive Team Fortress 2, Portal, and Half-Life 2: Episode Two through Valve's content delivery application.
UPDATE: I talked to Valve and they confirm that once you activated the free ATI games, you will keep them, even if you swap to an NVIDIA card. Just ask your friends for their ATI card.

Also, I've never played HL2, so are these downloads expansions and require HL2?
Duplicate Registration
This offer has already been activated using a different Steam account
wtf?! I registered my account 2 minutes before this message?
...what about the possibility of faking the graphics device name
to get the games when u have another graphics unit...would this be possible?
i have the games though, just would be interested.
I have a radeon.
You go to the Steam link and click GET IT NOW! then make a account after that it checks your system then it ask if you want the games if you have a ATI card
HL: Lost Coast is just 1 level (takes maybe an hour or 2). Pretty much the purpose was to show you lighting effects used by the HL2 engine.
Deathmatch is the online versus mode for HL2.
It is ok, but CS:S blows it away.
downloading/installing as we speak
Did for me.
when did it scan your pc?
ati and valve rock for this
i just read steams going to be included with all future catalyst drivers
wonder if it has something to do with vista 64bit
