FPS isn't for me sadly, no matter how i want to play them. makes me green & puke.

You should try some action-RPG. One of the newest titles is -
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Great game, it lets you become a vampire for some time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

what's the advantage/disadvantage of Steam? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> do u pay less or just as much? how do u authenticate? does it mean u can use somebody else's system to play as well?


It's Valve's servise, which allows you to buy the game and download it through internet. You pay, get activation key, download the game, enjoy.
