Steam is a service for buying and installing games digitally. It also has a
lot of community features and online play, similar to Battle.net and other
services, but there are Steam games which are single player, multiplayer,
and co-op.
Not only does it mean you can buy and install game without having to go to a
store, it also keeps track of all the games you've bought so you can
download and re-install at any time. And for many games it also backups
your saved games and settings to the Steam service. You can also download
and install Steam games on multiple computers at the same time, you can just
only be logged in to one computer at a time.
I pretty much buy all my games through it when possible and love it.

Sounds good. So, if you have to reformat can you download it again?

When the original Half Life 2 was being developed some hackers got the
code and released it onto the Internet. This pissed off Valve and delayed
the release of the game for many months until they developed Steam to
control the distribution of their software. There are many games from many
developers there now and its a huge improvement over the broken DRM crap
that many games are released with today that require you have the CD in your
drive while playing etc. I was dead set against Steam when it came out but
now I like the fact the social aspects of it and that I can buy a game
online and pay for it with PayPal and download it to my PC. Rather nifty
actually..

Yep, Half Live and Half Life 2 were great games and I played them many

Always good to pick up some stuff for cheap after the holidays.
