    First Steam for Mac pics, video for your viewing pleasure

    Looks like Steam for Mac is being seeded to a select chosen few. As such, we now have screenshots and a delightful video accompanied by some sort of feel-good indie rock. Hint: Steam for Mac looks exactly like Steam for Windows.

    Steam has been working on their new UI for a few months now, I’ve been using it for a while, but it sounds like it’s finally going to be released. The new version has some really nice cosmetic updates, as well as some added functionality (such as a much loved/hated achievement system). Valve has been busy [...]

Pretty big news, yes.

(Of course, you could have just visited that Web site I mentioned the other day.) It costs $15. Yeah, I can [...]

  • Aliens vs Predator (2010) demo now available on Steam

    Aliens vs Predator (2010) demo now available on Steam

    There have been more than a dozen and a half AVP games over the last three decades and a new one is prepped to launch on February 16, 2010 on the 360, PS3, and Windows. That's awesome. But the truth is that while I'm going to advice you to fire up Steam and download the demo, I didn't even know there was a new AVP game in development until I saw the news.

  • Steam to come pre-installed on Alienware PCs

    Steam to come pre-installed on Alienware PCs

    After a clean OS install, Steam is the third thing I load on the PC, after only Chrome and Photoshop. It has became the center of my gaming life and now Dell has worked a dell with the company to have the digital delivery manager pre-installed on all Alienware systems. Just think, Steam is non-spyware or bloatware software pack that will probably be installed on the Alienware rig anyway. Maybe Dell is starting to get it.

    For Free! Play Unreal Tournament 3 all weekend, starting today

    Two things I like about this: one, we can play Unreal Tournament 3 for free all weekend. Two, Steam’s weekend apparently starts on a Thursday. You can pre-load the full version of Unreal Tournament 3 into Steam right now and then starting at 1PM Pacific, 4PM Eastern today, the game will be available to play. [...]

  • Steam has a great deal on the complete Jedi Knight collection

    Steam has a great deal on the complete Jedi Knight collection

    Okay, who here hasn't played one of the Jedi Knight games? No one? That sounds 'bout right. Let me just say that the series is one of the best of all time. The story line rich, the graphics always top notch for their time, and it's Star Wars. What's not to like? Do you yourself a favor, throw on some trousers and hop onto Steam where you can buy the complete series for $20; most of us are buying it. Sure, a few of the games might be aged, but the latest one, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, doesn't look terrible by today's standards.

    Goodbye, entire rest of the summer — King’s Quest and Space Quest collections now available on Steam

    sierraBe still, my beating heart. I've been this excited before, but I can't remember when. Some of the greatest games in the history of personal computing are now available on Steam. I'm talking, of course, about Sierra's King's Quest and Space Quest collections. This can only mean that additional Sierra games will be made available in the future. Please, please, please, make it so.
