A PC service run by Valve, basically like XBLA or PSN, only with more insane deals. It also has its own achievement/trophy thing and communication service. If you ever play any PC games, it's definitely worth checking out, for the sheer volume of shit you can get for ludicrously low prices.

As long as it's done right, I always dig 'documentary' vids about game characters.
This one tells the story of Balrog AKA Mike Bison from Street Fighter fame...
Make sure to watch for the "real explanation" as to why Balrog, Vega and Bison swapped names.Comment

It is by far one of my favorite games of all time, but just like any old game it is a bit of a bear to get into now. It's a tad clunky and unforgiving at times, despite being beyond revolutionary at its conception. The fact that it is an FPS too doesn't help. I feel like games like Fallout 1&2 and Baldur's Gate/Planescape style old RPGs hold up a LOT better.
Still, it was an amazing game. I can't fault anyone for not being able to get through it now though, because I have the same problem. One big problem it has: clunky inventory management that was the product of the time.Comment

Like Seth said. Basically the best thing of life. Right now, you can get every Doom + Quake game for $30. Or for $70, you can get all that plus stuff like Fallout New Vegas, Morrowind, Oblvion and some other classics. Those retail at $400. It's a mind blowing good deal all the time. I just wait 3-6 months for everything and buy it in one of their crazy sick dealsComment

I just bought 4-5 games on Steam (fallout 1,2, Fallout Tactics, Terraria) and own 20+ games on Steam already and can vouch for there awesome service.
Be advised though to pay attention to requirements, because my PC is straight ballin' and can play The Witcher 2 on it's highest graphics.
Yet I bought/downloaded Vampires the masquerade for $9 and it can't run on my PC. It can only run on a pc with 2gb's of ram or less and also can't run on Vista.
But if anyone has DoD's, Countersrike's, Team Fortress's or Battlefields hit me up.
