What does this mean for gaming? Valve is a big dog in the gaming industry, they may be the ones to start the trend of companies developing both PC and Mac. One other big feature is cross platform support: If you have a Mac and PC, your games will be available for both Mac and PC for free.

Review: Battlefield Bad Company 2

Ah Battlefield Bad Company 2, it has been a while since I have sat down and enjoyed a game as much as I have with Bad Company 2. I was one of the many Steam users left waiting in the wind for Bad Company 2 to download and install, in fact, I will say that my game probably still needs to be deleted and reinstalled.
