The Source engine is a video game engine created by a company called Valve Corporation. The engine made its first appearance in 2004 with a game called Half-Life: Source, and was also included in Half-Life 2. Source has been worked on since that date, and is included in many of Valve's games.
Source is meant to power first person shooter video games, but has also been used to create other types of video games as well.
