Steam News announces the promised release of the Macintosh editions of Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, and Half-Life 2: Episode Two, all of which are on sale for 30% off for a limited time. Word is: "The Half-Life 2 titles available now feature cross-platform support for Steam Cloud, allowing players to save their game progress on one computer, then seamlessly resume from that save point on another computer (Mac or PC). In addition, HL2 and Episode One have been updated to include over 40 new Steam Achievements, which are available to all owners of these titles. The HL2 games also support Steam Play, enabling customers to purchase a game once and play it on all Steam supported platforms." On a related note, Steam News also announces new automatic patches are now available for Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, and Half-Life 2: Episode Two. The updates add improved graphical effects, new achievements, Steam Cloud support for save games, and Macintosh support. These updates carry the following warning: "Save games for Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One will go through a transition. The current level you are on will be saved, but not the exact position in the level."

Improved graphics? I imagine it's too much to ask that vanilla HL2 now has full HDR?

Ah well, I've been meaning to replay from the beginning for awhile, achievements are as good an excuse as any. I just wish Black Mesa Source would hurry up and finish.
