According to the HL Ep1 website.

http://ep1.half-life2.com/overview.php

"And everything you need to play is included in the box"

Does this mean that retail copies are no longer crippled with mandatory Steam interaction? If so, I might be tempted to actually get one if this is indeed the case..

If this isn't then they're breaking the Trade Description Act..

I think the chances of it not needing a steam connection are pretty slim. I think what they're (badly) refering to is that you don't need HL2 to play it.

Yep. Amen to that. 4-6 hours content, sheesh.

It's not really the cash, it's more :

I guess if you have 4-6 hours spare time in one or two days, it might not seem like much. Easily last me the best part of a week though, which is plenty long enough for a tenner if you ask me.

Playing it now and it's superb. If it's like this for 4-6 hours it's well worth it.
Been round this road so many times
Feel like it's skin is part of mine
This taste of milk is almost gone
Still got my shame, but not for long
Been wrong so many times before
But never quite like this
Heard all, in the rain
But the rain all turned to piss
