'Half-Life 2', 'Episode 1', 'Episode 2', and 'Counter-Strike: Source' now default to the 'Source Engine 2009' engine configuration.
Users developing content for these games should manually add configurations for these games in the context of the 'Source Engine 2009' engine or can simply use the 'Reset Game Configurations' utility.

Source SDK Test Maps

Two cool scenes made in the Source SDK for Half Life 2: Episode 2. The first one was actually inspired by Dead Space, and the train scene was thought up by me with a little inspiration from Mirror's Edge and Split/Second. Enjoy, and I plan to make more! :P
