Steam is probably THE most useful program for PC gamers.+ Steam is a software that lets you download games with sometimes extremely reduced prices.
(for example Borderlands 2 was once at -66% and Trine 2 was once at -85%).
+ The people at Steam were the ones who convinced the gaming industry that selling games cheaper was a good thing.
+ Some games also support steamplay, which lets you play online directly with your steam friends.
+ You can launch any .exe file with steam to have an easily accessible (shift+tab) game overlay, to directly chat with friends.
+ Steam also comes equipped with a good quality voice chat that allows you to do conference calls.
+ The interface is ridiculously easy to use and allows you to for example receive an e-mail when one of the games you have on your wishlist is on sale.
+ Many steam games also come with achievements, which are rewarded when completing key passages of the game, amassing collectibles or completing all side missions, etc.
- If there was to be ONE problem I couldn't leave out, it would have to be the occasionnal bugs that can be a bit annoying, especially when they stop you from downloading a game you just bought, but they are corrected quickly and you generally won't notice them.
Steam can be downloaded for Mac and Windows from the official website here.
