[Kongregate](http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/25/kongregate-makes-triumphant-return-to-android-market-after-a-few/) has stepped out of its web browser boundaries by offering free-to-play downloadable desktop games alongside its existing catalog of browser-based titles. Only _Super Monday Night Combat_, _Smashmuck Champions_ and _Bomb Buddies_ are available for desktop play, but the outfit is set to beef up its selection in the following weeks. It's not likely that this development will cause Steam to nervously eye its rearview mirror for a competitor on its coattails, but it's interesting to see [GameStop's](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/08/gamestop-ceo-paul-raines-talks-tablets-OUYA-MVNO/) F2P game venture ever so slightly dip its toes into Valve's territory. However, [Gabe Newell's](http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/26/windows-8-catastrophe/) platform may yet have some [fiercer competition](http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/01/gamestop-details-plans-for-impulse-and-spawn-labs-says-its-be/) in the brick-and-mortar retailer's [Impulse](http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/01/gamestop-snaps-up-spawn-labs-impulse-game-distribution-platform/) storefront.
