The HDR in Episode One made it look quite a bit nicer than the original HL2.  I liked how Valve was very subtle with the HDR instead of shoving the effect in your face.  Supposedly, they're reodoing HL2 and Episode One for the 360 with upgraded character models and HDR for HL2.  I hope they upgrade the PC version with a patch too.  If not, I might have to get the 360 version also.

Steam is established enough and provides excellent and consistant services so I dont mind owning HL2 and whatever else from digital distribution.

It isn't restricted to Steam is it?

You only need to buy it through Steam if you want to play TF2 now.

Fine fine, pictures. AAx4 is on but I usually have it off cause it causes hiccups on my slow proc rig.

City 17 in ruins, with that cool color and debris the decaying tower gives off is one of the best looking levels Ive ever played through.

Im sad to say the source engine is looking a wee bit dated from what Ive seen of EP2, but the system they put in for the destruction of large set pieces looks stunning. I just hope they are dynamic, and not pre scripted. Valve has the best artists this side of Blizzard, so Im sure the game will be looking good no matter the technical limitations of the engine.
