The "Free game list" from Steam

I said a while back that i was planning to look up all the free games on steam and write short reviews on those, but then a lot of stuff happened such as me getting sick twice in a row, bitten's bday, my steam stopped working due to one of their updates, and then zach's bday.

Finally now i don't have anything important to work on and a new update on steam fixed it.



While doing research on why steam broke down (which turns out wasn't my computer's fault but steam's) I found out that someone made a topic with a handy list of steam free games:

For ATI/AMD (Radeon) graphic card users: install - storefront

- Half-Life 2: Deathmatch [6]
- Half-Life 2: Lost Coast

These are way more games than what i was originally aware of, I'm not gonna try them all, but I'll try a few and try to let know what i think of them.

If anyone recommends one that i didn't try I'll be sure to give it a shot.
