Steam Guides Available Now on Steam for Steam Users

[Shawn Zipay]

Valve has just announced the launch of Steam Guides, a new service of Steam itself that lets players create and find guides for their favorite titles on Steam.

Steam Guides lets players create and share guides, walkthroughs, and tips for their favorite games or software to help others who might be stuck or who simply want to learn more about the game. Players may easily create guides through Steam, where they may upload images, add screenshots, and embed YouTube videos. Guides are then quickly accessible through Steam, via the Steam Community and in-game via the Steam Overlay.

Hmm... CBS Interactive's GameFAQs, Viacom's (GameTrailers.com's) WikiCheats, and now VALVe's Steam Guides... This should be interesting. If all three were to go into a hypothetical battle royale, I wonder which has the most substance and reliability to come out on top? Too bad print media continues to drown in the electronic communication age. Least the print media can do one thing the internet can't: Beautiful artwork on glossy paper packaged with a shiny delicious demo disc, where most of the demos will not heinously expire after the full retail version is released.

Anyways, I'm curious to see how Steam Guides' foundation compares to the other two aforementioned juggernauts. As I said, this should be an interesting feature to watch over.
