Owners of ATI Radeon brand video cards can score a couple Half-Life 2 spin off games for free starting today, provided they've got the will to download Valve's digital distribution service Steam. Both Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, a self-contained level/tech demo from the sequel, and Half-Life 2 Deathmatch, the run-and-gun, toilet-tossing multiplayer component, will be automatically available to anyone running Steam with a Radeon card.

Discounts on some of Valve's other Half-Life 2 products are also available, making it easier for penny-pinching gamers to get their Gordon Freeman fix and prepare for the eventual release of the Half-Life 2 Orange Box this fall. Or this winter. Or whenever it finally ships. Michael McWhertor
