Valve Software has just announced that their revolutionary shooter Half-Life 2 will be coming to Steam for Mac later today… and to promote it, they’ve released this incredible Half-Life 2 themed riff on Apple’s own seminal “1984” advertisement, with City 17 resistant fighter Alyx flinging the series’ iconic crowbar through the televised face of the Big-Brother-like Walter Breen.
Absolutely brilliant. As for Half-Life 2, the Steam release marks the first time that the game has been playable under OS X for the last six years. At this point, the game is a little long-in-the-tooth, and Valve has released much better games like Portal and Left 4 Dead II since then, this is a great opportunity to play a classic.
Price is still unknown, although the PC version costs $20 on Steam, so unless Valve offers Half-Life 2 at a discount, that’s probably what you can expect to pay.
