In an attempt to expand Deliver2Mac, Virtual Programming has released an application for their digital download service.

Similar to how Valve’s Steam client works, the Deliver2Mac client app runs from your home computer and automatically detects Virtual Programming games. The preferences can be set to automatically start downloading updates for these games or to ask you before hand. You can purchase games through the app as well, and store them in a library similar to the way Steam operates. You can also peruse the site for trailers, demos, and game news.

Another really cool advantage is that all game manuals are available via the client app. Unfortunately, not every game has a manual…a problem that Virtual Programming is not always in control of fixing. But to sweeten the deal, Mark Hinton, CEO of Virtual Programming, says that there will be bundles and other special deals will be made available to customers only through the client. “The Deliver2Mac client is our customers’ personal game shopping assistant,” he stated.

After starting up the client, you can add your account from Deliver2Mac or start up an account if you don’t already have one. You can also choose to do shared storage of game info, or per user storage. We found the user interface to be clean and tidy, very easy to use, especially in comparison to the old Deliver2Mac website which was slower and often more difficult to find what you needed.

The system requirements call for: Mac OS X version 10.5.8, an Intel processor, and a broadband Internet connection. You can download the client app here.
