Steam is a program from the creators of games like: Half Life, Counter Strike, etc., which allows you to purchase and download games quicker tha ngoing to the store. When you first start up steam, you will be prompted to creat an account. This is necessary to run the program, but it is free. Once you have steam opened, you can do a lot of things, some of these is: Go to but a game, look at new games, look at updated games, etc. Steam is most known for Counter Strike, at least In My Opinion, but it can be used for TONS of other games. Right here, I am on it now, on the first page I see the games: Rip, Two Worlds, Half Life, Overlord, Painkiller Overdose, Call of Duty 4, and lots more.
