Epic Games, now available on Steam
Epic Games and Valve have agreed to work together to bring some of Epic’s greatest titles to Valve’s famous download distributor, Steam. Epic Games’ titles that are available right now on Steam include Unreal Gold, Unreal II: The Awakening, and multiple Unreal Tournament games, including the most recent of the series, Unreal Tournament 3.
The greatest part of this new deal is the fact that every single one of Epic’s titles that are on Steam right now are offered in the Unreal Deal Pack, which is a mere $59.95. What makes this deal even better is the additional 10% you can get off of the pack, or other Epic titles, in celebration of the partnership. This takes the amazing Unreal Deal Pack, a total of 5 games, to the the price of $53.95.

Audiosurf now available on Steam
There’s been some talk on our forum about a game called Audiosurf, which kagatoASUKA89 described as being “Guitar Hero meets Tetris.” Well good news to all fans of the game on our forum and and all around the net; Valve has announced today that the game is now available for pre-order on Steam.
Dylan Fitterer’s Audiosurf let’s players import their own audio into the game to create tracks for players to race on. The cars and tracks remind players of the F-Zero series, as well as the Guitar Hero series and the Tetris games, as you’ll be racing and tapping to hit and avoid a sequence of blocks for points. The game was an award finalist at the Independent Games Festival. A public beta is currently listed on FileShack.
In addition to now being available on Steam, the game also includes the entire soundtrack for The Orange Box, totally free.
The game will be up for purchase this Friday for the price of $9.95, while pre-ordering the game will save you a nice 10%.
