Crysis Warhead is Coming to Steam
Crytek and Valve today announced an agreement to bring Crysis Warhead and Crysis to Steam, a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC games and digital content with over 15 million accounts around the world.
"The millions of gamers logging into Steam every week to play today's best PC games are going to love Crysis Warhead," said Avni Yerli, Managing Director at Crytek. "Crytek Hungary has done a terrific job creating this new experience while optimizing CryEngine 2, and we're looking forward to delivering it and the original Crysis as our first offerings on Steam."
"Crytek is one of the industry's great success stories, emerging new technology and talent," said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "Crysis is one of today's leading PC franchises and delivering the original and Crysis Warhead via Steam is landmark for the platform."
The follow up to Crysis, one of the highest rated PC games of last year, Crysis Warhead will take players through the parallel story of Sergeant Michael 'Psycho' Sykes as he embarks on an intense, explosive adventure on the other side of the island. With waves of more challenging human and alien enemies to navigate through, players will once again be outfitted with the revolutionary Nanosuit and an arsenal of new weapons and vehicles to help Psycho complete his critical mission.Crysis Warhead will also come with Crysis Wars, a tailor-made experience for multiplayer gamers, featuring three diverse match types and 21 maps.
Crysis Warhead and Crysis will be available for pre-purchase via Steam starting this weekend, and expected to be released in mid September. Both games are published by EA Partners. For more details, please visit Steam Games and Crysis Warhead website.

(two exact same packs for a different price, also i thought steam had nice little discounts when you purchase bundled games :()
as in you can install your games so many times you want, compared to Spore that only allows 3 installs
Forgot to ask,Will the Crysis have the optimizing also like Warhead .
I also have Steam installed and have not had to install all my Half-Life packs in 3 years,Just installed on drive D:\ and is there all the time :)

You don't get a DVD or a case and they want MORE for it. It's been like this for years and exactly why I won't buy anything from there. (+you get a tax on top of that price from Europe). I'm sure you can find it cheaper online in US too.
edit: and I'm not bashing Steam, it's a good service, just overpriced IMO :)
i only use it for the Source games.
Edit: Well... the aussie dollar has hit an all time low i see, so my comments are a bit on the wrong side, man, 80 cents per american dollar is harsh
my problem is that the steam mirrors in australia are SO DAMNED SLOW. i've never broken 50KB/s, even when i had 8Mb internet. (current net is 4Mb :( makes me sad)
Guess how I bought my copy?:D
