Marketplace: Add review section for titles
Nxucik
Given that there's so many titles I'm often having to turn to Steam to read reviews before making a selection. Even then that's not always useful as the experience of playing a game is different than the experience of managing a game as an arcade operator.
For example, if I were to rate Sweet Escape as a player I would say it's alright, maybe average. But as an arcade operator I absolutely love it because it's easy to learn, easy to connect multiplayer, kids will stand in one place without moving their feet, very rare to get motion sickness, cheap to run and I find players will stay on it for a long time. These are aspects that wouldn't appear in a standard game review.
Allowing comments underneath game descriptions would be helpful in expressing what demographics the game appeals to, where are the challenges in the learning curb, troubleshooting hints, and a sense of how popular said title is at arcades. Otherwise right now it means going on the forums to ask if anyone is running a particular title.

Link to the steam page and devs web site would be nice and easy too I suspect.

Great idea for reviews Nxucik!
Just to follow up have you ever had kids falling over in Sweet Escape? When I tried it myself I found it hard to keep my balance

Peter Laurent: Surprisingly rare. Comparable to Job Simulator in terms of frequency.
