Publisher's description of Xfire

From Xfire:

Xfire is a tool that automatically keeps track of when and where gamers are playing PC games online and lets their friends join them easily. It works regardless of game type, server browser, or gaming service that a player is using. Xfire eliminates the hassles of running multiple programs like IRC, instant messengers, or in-game friends lists to keep track of when and where a gamer's friends are playing. Instant messaging is geared for gamers, so IM windows do not pop-up while you are playing a game and Xfire can show instant messages within the actual game interface for many games that it supports. It supports the best and the latest online PC games including over 200 server- and non-server-based First Person Shooters, Real Time Strategy, and Role Playing Games.
