ok this a top 10 of what i would recommend:
1. Orangebox 29.99? *
2. Bioshock 19,99?
3. Left4Dead 29.99? *
4. Garrys mod 9.99? (requires atleast one source game in your list)
5. Counterstrike 19.99?
6. Call of duty 4 49.99?
7. Unreal Tournament 3 19,99? *
8. World of Goo 19.99?
9. Audiosurf 9.99?
10. Osmos 8.99?
11. Track Mania Nations (free)
*can be bought to steam via retail
the best tactic on steam is first to get a good game pack like the OrangeBox (contains 5 games)
you can buy that one in the store, as it is probably (research it!) cheaper in retail, and when you install the game you add the code to your account and you have the same effect as buying it on steam!!! (unreal Tournament 3 has it too)
and then see if there are any offers like weekend deals out there.
weekend deals are short actions where you can buy a certain game(pack) for 50% or 75% off!
the tradeoff is that the offer only last 2 or 3 days
also they have loads of indie games, games that are a lot cheaper than normal games, though they are smaller, made by smaller studios and probably not a mainstream FPS.
they are also more ingenious original surprising and fun! did i say they were cheaper?
p.s.
THQ pack is on sale, it looks great, lots and lots of games!

Zeno Clash is on there pretty cheap and is fun, Blueberry Gardens is only $5, and Audiosurf is worth it.
Never played it but try Grim fandango it's supposed to be very creative (According to Yahtzee anyway.) it's an adventure game though, so it's not for people who get bored or frustrated easily.
....wait we can now get Grim Fandango on Steam!!! I love that gamewouldyoukindly99 said:
EDIT: I just checked on steam and found nothing..dang
also the valve pack has a large price tag but gets you multiple good games.
Killing Floor is also really great, it's a nice break from L4D and it's also only around $30 I think.
If the price tag is $5-$15 or so I'd say get it, it's a great game but does involve's a lot of thinking though but is funny all the way through.wouldyoukindly99 said:
One thing I would say with Steam is do not assume that the games on it are the cheapest, many non-Valve games are even more expensive than at retail.
OT: Make sure you get the Orange Box, Killing Floor and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Audio surf is alot of Fun, i got blueberry gardens with the Indie pack sale the other week but no idea what the point of it is... there doesnt seem to be much of a explanation about the aim of the game... or maybe im just blindBuckminsterF said:
Funny too you say? Cool, I've never played a real adventure game before and this one's unique looking art caught my eye and I wikipediaed it and it sounds cool.Freakout456 said:
