Steam is easy and inexpensive. I've bought three games from it. I paid $8, $5 and $0. I don't have to DL these games to a PC to play them. If I want to play them at home, in the living room, at my friend's or at my parent's, I just get on Steam and play them. |
are those full games? Not demo? just asking bedcause thats too good to be true. Unless its Half life

The $8 game is a $20 game which Steam sells for 1/2 price but I bought it on sale. The $5 game is a $10 game on sale. The $0 game is a few years old game that used to cost $40, I think.
I rarely play FSP and don't like Half Life or any of the games made by Valve.
Of course, I think Steam offers timed trails for just about every game on the system so you never need to buy a game you don't really enjoy. Steam also links you to reviews.
What I do is this. I see the weekend deals every now and then (usually the biggest savings.) I quickly scroll through them. If a game seems interesting, I click on meta critic reviews. If I like the views, I try the timed trail. If I enjoy the timed trial, I buy the game. I bought the two games that way and couldn't be happier.

So Digital distribution really that popular? So much for Malstrom and DD was end of gaming. Anyway, how's the downloading process? Is it a pain or it works fine? 4-6 GB full game was too big to download

That's kinda dependent on your connection. I download full sized games now problem and usually have them downloaded by the end of an evening (10Mbps connection). It pauses downloads if you leave it on so it's really not that much of an issue. You also have the advantage that it auto-updates any patches it finds.
