The Steam Community Officially Launches
by Chris Faylor, Sep 13, 2007 7:38am PDTValve has officially launched The Steam Community, bringing the voluntary open beta phase of the program to a close. Announced in July, and now integrated into every Steam client, The Steam Community's array of social and networking options provides users with a wide array of community-oriented options. These include the ability to sport a custom avatar, stalk friends from game to game, form groups, engage in group and private chat, schedule group events, and track a number of different statistics, such as a breakdown of play time and the assignment of a Steam Rating. For example, after accidentally leaving Peggle Extreme running for 9.6 hours last night, my SteamID page lists my rating as "3.1 - Shooting Blanks." Shacker freshyk has set up this chatty thread for those interested in joining the Shacknews group.

Orange Box or COD4. Seems to me that Orange Box has more bang for the buck, But I really liked the COD4 Demo and would definatly get into the full game. Lets hear your votes. Also I need an invite to teh shacknews group on steam!

I just wish they would sort out the third party issues. It's cool to be able to add shortcuts to your menu and have them say "SoandSo is now playing No one Lives Forever" but what good is it if it refuses to reset the message upon quitting, and it also doesn't update your gamestats. DOSBox also doesn't work, as I played Doom for a few hours and was dissapointed to find it didn't update my stats.
Other than that I like it.

It is good fun, but its really just a demo to get you to buy the full version.
