Weapons Ready.



After almost a year in development, the Novint Falcon has gone native with Valve's Orange Box that's Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, and Portal. "Native" meaning that you no longer need a special version of the game to use the Falcon.

If you start your Steam client, it should update all the relevant games. If you're Falcon-curious, they've got a deal right now where you can get the Orange Box and a Falcon for $150 — that's a pretty solid deal for such a major peripheral. And since Novint is working with EA and others, you can bet they're going to have lots of support, and there are probably hacked versions of a lot of other games out there.

And what about Left 4 Dead and Counter-Strike? Support is coming soon.
