I just installed the Mac client for Steam and now I own 20+ games on my Mac–just like that. Torchlight, Portal, Civ IV, Braid, a bunch of other indie titles. The list just goes on and on.

Torchlight on Mac? Tomorrow!

May 11th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Gaming, Noteworthy

Kotaku is reporting that the Steam client for Mac computers comes out tomorrow. If you already own Portal and Torchlight on the PC, you may already own it on the Mac. If you bought Portal or Torchlight via Steam on your Windows-based PC then you may in fact already be the proud owner of tomorrow’s [...]

Move over Steam, Amazon is Here

December 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Asides, Gaming

It looks like Amazon is testing the waters a bit with AAA title digital downloads. Get Far Cry 2 for $5. I would love to see digital distributors get into price matching wars–even on their deep discount stuff.

The Last Stand? Yes, Please.

October 15th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Asides, Gaming

The Last Stand update for Dawn of War II was released yesterday…and it is a breath of fresh air. After three hours of play, I claim it to be gaming goodness. FREE gaming goodness. Let me know if you have the game in the comments and we can survive a few rounds. Relic has really taken this game to a new level. Mixing Call of Duty with DoW II was an excellent idea. It’s a shame some people missed this, but Steam was selling the game half-off yesterday Holy frick. I just checked. They’ve extended it until Monday. $20 (TWENTY!) for this amazing game.

Kings Bounty On ‘Da Cheap

July 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · Asides

A game that I play on my laptop almost weekly is King’s Bounty. If I had played it in 2008, it would have been my FGOTY. (I’ve not said much about it because I’ve not completed it.) At any rate, more people should play it. Steam is selling it at 50% off for $15. You [...]

LucasArts on Steam

July 6th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Asides

I actually screamed, “WHAT?!?” when I read this at my desk: LucasArts will be on Steam starting July 8. I was just lamenting not having a copy of my 5th greatest PC game of all time. It’s time to return to The Dig. (Funny LucasArts titles take four of my top five.) If priced right, [...]

Empire: Total War Half-Off

June 20th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Asides

I picked up Empire: Total War from Steam for $24.95. Did you? I figured with a Metascore of 90 it must be good. Beware. It’s a 15GB download.
