Yeah it is. I have played quite much that Peggle that was bundled with Orange Box. I have waited this to drop in price some time now. Also there was some Peggle Nights on coming soon tab.

Does anyone know if pre-purchasing allows you to download the game in advance and play as soon as the game is unlocked? I wanna do that.

Sorry no idea about pre-downloading. How was it with OB when it was released? If that had it then I would think L4D will have too.

I think you have been able to pre-download all the HL2 games, so yeah, I think it will be the same for L4D. I really can't wait.

Pre-purchase Empire: Total War before release and get Rome Total War Gold to play for free right away.
http://store.steampowered.com/news/1940/
Steamworks will support both the retail and electronic versions of the Empire: Total War game giving players game updates, downloadable content, friend-list support and achievements. To play single-player Empire: Total War, players need only to connect to the internet once via the Steam client after installing the game.

Steamworks will serve as Empire: Total War's multiplayer backend, providing server browsing and match-making functionality, bolstering Total War's new level of commitment to multiplayer game modes and features. Further details on multiplayer will be announced soon.
Hmm interesting. I really hope the MP is great in this one.

I'm more interested in the campaign, but I still can't wait to play it. Between FEAR 2 and Empire: Total War, February is looking pretty awesome for PC gamers.

Didn't realise FEAR 2 was next year. That's actually good what with the fuck ton of games that are out right now. I feel seriously swamped. Buying 3 games last friday was a mistake... Fallout 3 and Gears soon.

I am trying to pre-order it too today. I hope the money is enough I have. With the currency conversion I am not sure. Would suck if I would need something like 1€ more.

Holy smokes that's a good fucking deal. I was upset that I missed out on the 50% off deal. I believe.. in second chances! That's a crazy, crazy good bargain. Sold!

Yeah it was cheap on the regular price too but that is just insane. It's almost free... and great fun too.

Second chances (ability to revive deals)? Man you play too much COD :p

Also I had problems with the shopping cart at first. It asked me to login and I was already on Steam... Seems like simply Steam restart was enough to get it to work properly.

I just ran through the L4D demo. It was great fun but is definatly something that should not be played single player. It should be played with 3 other friends. Graphics are better than I expected. The source engine never ceases to amaze me.

Yeah shadows were really great and fire effect was improved too. I like how there is a bit slower phases in the action too and then suddenly boom zombies coming from everywhere. Nice demo.

is the demo playable online or is it singleplayer?
In reply to

Seems to be singleplayer only... it should be online too but I haven't got any game to work yet. Searching dedicated servers and nothing... then asks to start LAN game. GG Valve.

I can make my own dedicated server but I cant join myself to go to play there. It's full in seconds but when I start L4D it just crashes. I know dedicated shouldn't be used like that but come on it should still work.

I have all the ports opened that I find I need to. 27015 for dedicated server and 27005 for client. At least the console says those ports. Oh well I'll try again tomorrow if there is patches released or something. Dedicated server program got patch already some minutes ago.
