Since people started playing PC games not much has changed. You go to the store, pick up the latest and greatest title, pop it your PC and game on until the wee hours of the night. Hopefully the game you bought had some sort of online connectivity, and getting all your friends to be organized and online all at the same time for some multiplayer action was harder than hacking into the CIA’s mainframe. STEAM changed all of that. Now you can buy and download full retail games, from new releases to classics, all through the STEAM store. Worried about that next purchase being a dud? Check out demos and trailers of upcoming games and even review the game’s user generated “Metascore”, the STEAM user’s rating system . And make yourself at home with all your friends in an online, interactive, VOIP-backboned community built by gamers, for gamers.

STEAM is free to join and easy to use, all you need is an internet connection. Wherever you log in to your STEAM account your games will follow you, from PC to PC, town to town, country to country. Simply log into STEAM to see all games you’ve purchased. Click on install a game and start playing, it’s that simple. Whether you’re at home or away all your content and gameplay stats stay tagged to your STEAM ID. Best of all, Steam automatically updates your games, so you’re always playing the latest version. That means more time playing games, less time patching them. You can even register your older games with STEAM so you can have a digital copy of them. So hurry up and join, the STEAM-powered revolution has begun!
