If you’ve missed out on the seminal Half Life FPS series (or you just happen to be a dirty pirate), Valve has discounted the whole lot to fire sale prices. This weekend, you’ll be able to download Half-Life, Half-life 2, both episodes, and Half-Life: Deathmatch from Steam for 66% off regular price. For Steam neophytes, that means about $1-6 for each of the games. If you’d like to just up and download the lot of them, it comes out to about $17 (which is probably cheaper than Episode 3 will be whenever it arrives).

The Half-Life series is famous for popularizing scripted events as a way to integrate narrative into gameplay without using cut scenes. Subsequent games made great strides in physics-driven gameplay and facial animations that made characters warmer and more believable. So even if you aren’t a huge FPS fan, you can still have a piece of gaming history for less than the price of a budget game.

Valve’s entire collection is also 10% off, which adds Portal, Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead (among other notables) to the deal for a grand total of $90. Whether you’re in for a penny or pound, there’s a lot of gaming for just a little money over at Steam this weekend.
