Eurogamer gave the PS3 version 8/10 in
their review (compared to 10/10 for the PC and 360 versions), which comes with some screenshot comparisons. Aside from differences with graphical things like anti-aliasing, blurring and the like it pretty much goes like this:
- Half Life 2 - Fine, similar to 360 version.
- Episode One - Runs fine at the start, but "the deeper you move into the game, the more the frame rate issues intrude on the experience. Catching falling debris with the gravity gun becomes an exercise in anticipating lag as the frame rate dives dramatically. Fierce firefights can become a slideshow. Death is your constant companion not necessarily because of your lack of gaming ability but because you literally can't see what's going on".
- Episode Two - "essentially a complete write-off".
- Team Fortress 2 - A few issues, "but nothing you don't automatically compensate for and nothing that fundamentally affects the superbly executed concept.
- Portal - "pretty much consistent cross-platform, but this is not necessarily such a good thing". Apparently it's not really a twitch-heavy precision game so it's still playable on both consoles.
Ultimately they conclude that the PC version beats all:

Most of that score is attributable to the superb quality of the core Valve games rather than the shoddy conversion work which sees one game out of the five ruined, and another badly compromised. That being the case, if you own a PC, even a relatively lightweight one, that version will almost certainly be the better - and definitely cheaper - purchase.

But as it's a PC game at heart that's hardly surprising.
