Rockstar's line of PC games are now available for download on Valve's Steam digital distribution service with an additional 10% off during this launch week. The whole Grand Theft Auto series is available, including Midnight Club II, Manhunt, Wild Metal Country and the Max Payne games. Oh Max, dearest of all our friends, we wish you'd come back.
Almost every game except for GTA: San Andreas is under $10. Go ahead and gift a title to a gamer buddy you forgot this holiday season -- these actually are some great deals if you somehow missed any of these titles.

Actually, GTA 1 and 2 are just an added bonus. They've been available for free (legally) for some time now, directly from Rockstar:

Considering the fact that they are free legally from Rockstar's site, I wonder why they aren't put into all Steam accounts - I would love to play through GTA2 again if I could just download it for free through Steam. I have no real interest in the other GTA games.

Max Payne is such an awesome game. I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it yet. 1 and 2 are both fantastic.

Hell yeah, Max Payne is one of the most atmospheric action packed games ever developed. How about a sequel?!?!

Max Payne 2 just clicked for me, it's my favorite game of all time. Can't believe it even beats out SMB, HL, HL2 and the rest.
Damn I need that 3rd part.

$54 for 10 games, kinda puts the Orange Box to shame.

I bought the id super pack in the sales for £30. £4 more than Orange Box for ~23 games. Kinda puts... oh wait the games aren't as good as Orange Box's (well, maybe).

Direct2Drive offers the same bundle for $44.95, minus the three free games that you can get off Rockstar's site.

This be my next purchase. Once I get my new drive in a few weeks time. A little 1tb drive and maybe I can finally fit all my Steam games without deleting old ones :D

I've always preferred to buy the physical game rather than going through steam. That way you not only have the manual for reading beyond the computer screen, and it helps for the resale value.

I used to since I realised I don't sell games and once they're installed the box isn't ever touched again.
Plus the whole pre-loading and playing as soon as the game is out is pure excellence.

I have to agree. I live in a congested area and it actually takes me longer to get to the store and back than it does do download a number of these games (Thanks, FiOS!), plus I have to then pay taxes and the fuel costs in addition to the game. Cheaper and faster for me through Steam.

Just picked up San Andreas, the only one in the series I've yet to play. I hear there's a popular mod for it to play online

Anyone know if the Steam versions of Grand Theft Auto are as moddable as their non-Steam counterparts? I found this great mod that merges GTA3, VC, and San Andreas into one mega-game, which, if it's the same, makes it worth buying the steam one right now instead of waiting 'till monday to go hunting at a local PC games store for them (they're closed on weekends).

I was wondering the same thing, I have a couple of mods I'd like to put in

Lilinka please post the link for the mod you mentioned... cheers...

I assume so. Since the id mega pack just has games and DOSboxes. You can copy the .pak (or whatever they are) files and put them on Doom DS, Doom PSP.
