Review Reader does what it says on the tin. It frames individual Steam reviews on a white background and reads them aloud with a random text-to-speech robot. There's not much to it and yet it brings so much life to the average Steam review. Just pop in any Steam game's store URL and have at it.

Tower and Sword of Succubus
House Party
HuniePop
Being a DIK - Season 1
