Steam Welcomes Epic Games

Steam News : World-renowned developer Epic Games makes its debut on Steam today, delivering the award-winning Unreal and Unreal Tournament franchise to Steam gamers everywhere. The Epic hits now available on Steam include the debut classic Unreal Gold, Unreal 2: The Awakening and the Unreal Tournament series: Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition, Unreal Tournament 2004: Editor's Choice Edition, and the recently released Unreal Tournament 3, which has shipped over a million copies to date. For the ultimate Unreal experience, nab the Unreal Deal Pack, an incredible value at just $59.95. To celebrate the launch, all of Epic’s games on Steam are available for 10% off their regular price (offer ends March 24). If you haven't played any of the Unreal games somehow, this is a great way to get into them at a bargain price: They're all incredible in their own right, the single player (Unreal Gold, Unreal 2) and multiplayer (UT2004, UT3) variants alike. On a side note, it's interesting to me that Steam has become what Microsoft would like Games for Windows Live to be (but isn't): Successful, useful, and enjoyable.
