GameStop's Impulse Now Carrying Valve Titles

Posted January 31, 2012 by M.H. Williams

In an interesting turn of events, for the first time ever, Valve’s PC titles are available for digital download somewhere other than Steam.  GameStop has announced that Valve’s titles at now available through its Impulse digital download service.

The list of titles includes Portal 2, Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, The Orange Box, and Half-Life Complete.  All titles will still require the Steam client to install and play, so it’s not a huge change, merely a nice option.
