In a nutshell, this is an instant messaging program keeping gamers in mind. Not only is it able to instant message your friends, you can even do it while you're in-game! (Compatible games only so far). Talk to a friend over Xfire while playing some of your favourite games. The little pop-up window showing your friend's message is small enough to minimize the amount of precious screen space you're playing on. You can also take videos and screenshots with Xfire! And a recently added feature, you can broadcast your games LIVE! With a simple interface, this makes Xfire a powerful tool.

Along with it's in-game functionalities, there is the choice to create your own clan. This means you can create a group for people with the same interests as you! And when your friends are playing a game, Xfire notifies you and gives you the chance to join them on the same server!

This is my personal clan. If you take a look, you can see that everyone's gaming hours are added up to show the clan's top played games! Clans can also make events. Reminders are sent out to all clan members when that event is about to start! (Feel free to join the clan, we're always open to new members)



You even get your own mini-profiles with a small bit of info on the games you play! (Also feel free to add me)

Xfire, gaming simplified~

-Shameless Bump-

I got this a few months ago, it really is an amazing tool and a must have for gamers. I wish more of my friends had it so I could stop alt-tabbing into stupid MSN. I really want to use it more, but so few of my friends actually have this that it is almost useless for me when it comes to messaging (only friends I have right now are my WoW buddies that I am always in game with anyways )

All you lazy gamers out there; get, it, NOW!
