Apparently most of Valve's most popular games (Half-Life 2, Episodes, Portal, Portal 2, Team Fortress 2, etc) are getting updated to work with controllers and TV sets, effectively making your computer into a console.

Not sure how well it works but still pretty cool.

Apparently it has an interface designed specifically for television.

You can use it on your PC.  It looks like an XBox PS3 hybrid...

Well that's the idea, it gives you a gamepad-friendly interface
