Halo 3 may be heading to PC shortly if a new addition to the Steam database is to be believed.
Originally spotted by a NeoGAF user using xPaw's Steam Database search, a series of new entries in the Steam registry suggests that the game will soon be winging its way onto Steam alongside a host of other titles.
Alongside known upcoming PC ports such as Resident Evil: Revelations, there are also a fair few titles that we had no idea were coming to Steam until now. Among these are La-Mulana, Fez, Dyad, Cut the Rope, Quantum Conundrum 2, Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition, Shadow Warrior Complete, Halo 2, Halo: Combat Evolved, Angry Birds Space, Angry Birds Seasons and Second Life.
Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean that the games are coming to Steam; Valve could just be about to add Steam Community hubs for non-Steam games, though this would be quite out of character, especially with Halo 3 not currently being available on PC.
So perhaps some or all of these games are going to appear on Steam sometime in the future. A Community Hub for Halo 3 was discovered shortly after the new registries were found but swiftly removed, suggesting either a mistake was made or Valve isn't ready just yet to make the big reveal. Given the contents of a recent Microsoft job listing though, it seems the company has been investigating adding more of its titles to Steam.
It's also worth noting that some of these entries are quite old; it's the search tool that's new, meaning the information has only just been discovered. Sadly, this makes it almost impossible to predict when or if the games will make it onto the Steam store.
What do you think? Would you be happy to finally get a chance to experience all of Master Chief's adventures via Steam? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
