The dangers of Steam

I was a little late picking up the entire Steam buzz, and maybe that was for the better. It’s a beast, a beast I tell you. And it eats money.

On several occasions I’ve just slowly been clicking through the store and stumbled upon something fairly cheap, and thought, “why not?”

So right now, I’m downloading two excellent although underrated games, which I’ve played before but never finished: Dreamfall: The Longest Journey and Beyond Good & Evil. If you haven’t already, I definetly recommend them both. Beyond Good & Evil is ridiculously cheap. And I by now, I bet everyone is aware that there’s a sequel in the works?

On the note of sequels, Ragnar Tornquist discusses Dreamfall Chapters here. Dreamfall Chapters is the upcoming episodic sequel to Dreamfall. Check it out.

    Well, I suppose… The danger I’ve thought of is rather, what if your steam-account gets banned, hacked, whatever so it’s not available anymore? Then all games/money go bye bye… But I think the risk is worth the trouble of putting the cd in the drive to play a game.

    Also, regarding underrated games, I thought I’d make 2 honorable mentions for $20 a pop.
    1. Vampire the Masquerade – Bloodlines (don’t forget to dl community patch)
    2. STALKER
