“Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, a single-player level custom-created to showcase High-Dynamic Range lighting (HDR) in the Source engine, is available now to all owners of HL2. As a technology showcase, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast’s system requirements are very high. During installation, Steam will prompt you if your system does not meet the recommended configuration. We hope you enjoy it.”
Ok, that’s what Valve say and it’s true. AS you probably know it’s free if you own a legal copy of Half-Life 2. As a playable level it’s quite good but not as good as I was expecting. Sometimes I think we expect EVERYTHING that is released by Vavle to be fantastic and it’s not.
Anyway, after reading a thread over on the google groups called Bored with Lost Coast? Useless things to do I decided to try them out. The screenshots below are taken from places you weren’t supposed to go! Just a little fun. These things appeal to my Beat-Testing nature!

It’s short and stunning but not enough gameplay to make it a classic.
