Computer Gaming… Go!

First and foremost let me say, on a completely personal (and perhaps not quite professional) note, how glad I am to be back here at Monstervine.  It’s truly an honor to be here writing in the company of that guy, that guy, and the chick over there.  That being said, I have returned with, perhaps, something new and intriguing to bring to the table.

Over the past few months, I have become quite enamored with steampowered.com and its unique brand of eCommerce community.  Steam is an online gaming community/eCommerce site that exclusively sells computer games of all sorts.  To get started, you simply download the Steam client, find a game of your liking, indicate your payment method, and begin downloading your game directly to your computer!  While the games take anywhere between 3 and 24 hours to download, this is MUCH faster than most delivery dates for any hard copies you might buy.  More on Steam at a later date…

The point is, since the discovery of Steam, all other gaming systems have lost my interest.  The simple convenience of downloading a game directly to my computer and playing it mere hours later is, to say the least, quite attractive.   Considering this, the next few weeks will be filled with computer game reviews hammered out by yours truly, all in the name of this long overlooked console.  Look out word processors, computer gaming… Go!
