Several readers tipped us off yesterday that Valve has put the call out to Mac beta testers. To be considered for the Steam for Mac beta you simply need to go to the Mac beta page and log in using your Steam account user name and password. If you don't have one, you can quickly register. Once logged in, you'll be shown a questionnaire form detailing what kind and how many Macs you own, if you own

A lot of gamers have been waiting for this. It has definitely become one of the most talked about things of the Mac since the debut of the iPhone back in ’07 and the only thing talked about the Mac nowadays. A software that has gotten plenty of praise from the press, users of the software and hard-nosed critics. Finally, on May 12th, 2010, Valve Corporation’s venture onto the Mac platform will
