what exactly is steam?
Cruelty on a stick.
- Thread starter Nova
- Start date
It's an online service provided by Valve, the makers of the Half-Life series (Half-Life 2 is rated as one of the best FPS's in history, yes, better then Halo). Pretty much, you can buy and download games, mods, and movies digitally through it. Any games you own that use Steam can be played without the disc as well, and it auto-updates games for you as well.

Turns out the "Preloading 0%" thing was a visual glitch, as pausing it and restarting it put it back at 100%.
It was made by Valve, but they allow other games oustide of their own on it. The classic Doom and Quake games, Lost Planet, Prey, Warhammer 40,000, Titan Quest, the list goes on.

Or just having an opinion. Because not everyone has to agree with everything. :O
I think with Halo vs. Half Life thing, it depends on your taste in shooters. You probably like Half Life more, if you like a shooter that requires more thought, and Halo is for someone who likes a run and gun approach. That's why I don't like Halo as much as Half Life Hines.Strubes said:
As for Bioshock, the reviews are starting to come in, and they are saying almost nothing negative about the game.

I was talking more to Hines, but okay.Strubes said:
I suppose I didn't say what I wanted to correctly.
In terms of reviews, HL2 is considered the best PC FPS to date. I'm sure Halo is considered the best console shooter.
Now, IMO, I'm kind of half-and-half about Halo. Unless I'm doing Co-op or multi with friends, it kind of bores me. Also surprised at the lack of bots.

Halo is .1% higher than Half Life 2, so they are basically equal in terms of reviews. Metroid Prime is actually the highest reviewed FPS...if you would call it that...of all time.

And even GoldenEye beats Halo for scores.

i like half-life 2 and halo 2 for different reasons. halo 2 for multiplayer, of course, and HL2 for generally everything. the story is fantasic, believable characters, a sense of aloneness, everything is just superb
Half-Life 2 had decent mutlipayer too you know...Hinesmdc said:
