Where to find great PC games and suggestions
Steam, owned by Valve, is the number one digital gaming client on the Internet right now. They provide games compatible with Windows, MacOS and Linux PCs, as well as their own Steam Machines – the controllers of which are compatible with PCs. They have frequent sales, dropping prices to next to nothing, which has helped propel them into the insane popularity they’re experiencing now.
Additionally, the client has community and chat options, allowing you to chat with people when in game and see reviews of the games you’re looking at before you choose to download them.
EA does Steam. New EA PC games will be released on Origin rather than Steam, making it worthwhile checking out if you’re into the big name titles that EA release. An extra tidbit if you’re a Star Wars fan, EA have an exclusivity deal with Disney for all future Star Wars games, so keep an eye out if you like yourself some Star Wars.
Games are also given away on a regular basis meaning you can largely populate your games library with freebies, and frequent sales that take games to rock-bottom prices. You might find yourself paying full price if you’re looking at newly released titles, but it’s worth keeping a look out for a bargain or two.
Abandonware specialise in older games, the copyright of which have run out making them free in the public domain – yay! If you’re looking for a slightly older game that might fit into this category, check out Abandonware first to see if you can snag yourself a legal freebie.
