There’s no denying that Valve’s team-based World War II multiplayer shooter Day of Defeat is one of their less popular games, but if you’re burned out on the recent ports of Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike Source, good news: Day of Defeat Source is now available on Steam for Mac for just a tenner.
Needless to say, like all of Valve’s other Mac ports, if you already own DoD for the PC, you don’t have to pay again. Day of Defeat’s a good game, but it doesn’t quite have the polish of Valve’s other games, particularly Team Fortress 2. If you’d like to play a similar game for free, I recommend Enemy Territory.
With Day of Defeat’s official Mac release, the only big Source-engine games Valve has yet to release are the two I’ve been waiting for most: Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead Ii. With Valve releasing a new port every two to three weeks, though, my guess is we’ll see both before the end of the summer.
As a last note, this is as good a time to mention that we’ve set up a fledgling Cult of Mac group for Steam, so if you want to do some multiplayer with fellow Macheads, load up Steam and join the cult.
