If my computer is on, then I’m logged into Steam. It’s that simple. The Steam website is by far the one that has
spent the most time opened on my desktop, always tucked in the bottom right
corner of my screen. The site is well
organized, clean, and sleek, with a simple color scheme that doesn’t distract
from the information presented. Tabs direct
you to different sections of the site, including the store, news, forums,
support, and community sections. The
store page lets you see what games are being featured because of new releases
or sales, and lets you see lists of games organized by what’s been recently
released, what’s selling best, what’s coming soon, and what’s currently on
sale. You can also search for specific
games, or browse by genre. The community
section lets you view what games your friends own, what they’ve been playing,
and what they still want to get. The
news page features announcements on upcoming or newly released games, as well
as updates and patches to existing ones.
Every page is presented in a clearly organized manner, information is
placed in order of importance and boxed together accordingly, and the chosen
font is highly legible. As for ways to
improve the site, a greater degree of flexibility in how you view your own game
and friends lists would be appreciated. Perhaps
if these could be grouped into their own designated subfolders, the information
would be easier to navigate. For those
of us who own hundreds of games, anything that can make organizing them easier
is a huge advantage.
