    Steam news - January 25, 2008

    Howdy boys and girls, how's your weekend going for you? Oh, I'm sorry to hear. Perhaps this latest Steam news update will make you smile once more!
    Spanish audio is now available for both the retail and Steam versions of Portal and Half-Life 2: Episode 2 as a free update. Select your language of choice from within the settings menu.



    GSC Game World’s S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, the prequel to its acclaimed survival FPS, will be coming to Steam at the same time it hits retail outlets later this year. The folks at GSC were kind enough to let us debut five new screenshots from the game. While you're waiting for Clear Sky, explore the mutant infested ruins of Chernobyl in the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R.



    Team Fortress 2 now has a brand new map. Now you can play two versions of Well: the existing control point map, Well (CP), or a new configuration, Well (CTF), which replaces control points with intel capture points within each base. Have fun out there...and watch your back.



    This Sunday, Valve's Team Fortress 2 developers will take on the two top-ranked teams in the AMD Roughneck Challenge tournament, hosted by the Total Gaming League. Tune in at Pwnage.tv on Sunday, January 27th at 8:00 PM Eastern to find out who reigns supreme.
    I had a little bit of time playing on the new map, ctf_well. I must say, I think I enjoy it a bit more than the cp version of the map. The level seems a bit too large at first glance, but then you need to realize it might actually be a bit smaller, or at least on par with its TFC counterpart.



    We do have some changes planned for the site, but I'll explain more of this in its own news post once the changes start to be set in place. Finally, here's a little snippet from my highly delayed Left 4 Dead article.
    There's dismemberment, gore, human emotion, fear, and vomit. Yes, vomit. In short, this game has it all, makes no apologies, and is everything you could have possibly hoped for.
    Happy weekend everybody!

    Wait, I thought he said a brand new map. This is the same map with some changes. It's not new at all.

      We all got fooled into that one.

        valve was a bit lazy for this one, just cp_well with an intel and no train also little different bits of entrances such as sewer and 2nd floor stairs but thats about it.
