Spyro the Dragon until you hit Swamp Land. Honestly Steam doesn't have much in the way of up-beat games. The PS1 has a nice assortment, but most games you're looking for are rated KA-E. OH OH SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE. IT MAKES EVERYTHING OK...until the harder levels.
EDIT: In your steam thingy there's BulletStorm. There's some sad parts but mostly awesome/funny parts. Just stop playing when you meet the general. He's such an asshole.

First thing that popped in my head too. It's a great game where you roll up puppies, schoolchildren, people's houses, boats, and all sorts of things into a big ball and your father (the king of the cosmos) immolates all of it into a new star.Johnny Novgorod said:
Wait, nevermind.
Play some nintendogs or sims OP, you'll feel better in the morning.
You have not played Psychonauts. Play it. Get some bags of microwave popcorn and real butter or some fizzy drinks or whatever makes you happy and keeps you going and play Psychonauts. It is as upbeat as doing LSD in wonderland, no calories whatsoever. Upbeat, good stuff. Go play. Now.
You also have Stubbs the Zombie. Play it. Finish it. Pee in the pool. Do it. Now. It's like Walking Dead with Disney in 50ies wonderland, with friendly neighbourhoods, eager policemen, helpful retro robots, nice music and you, the zombie. throw intestines, fart in people's general direction or rip their heads off. It's all splendid fun. There's a zombie pandemic happening and you're the one to blame for it, you naughty zombie. Splendid stuff. Doesn't cost a limb, you already got it.
I don't see S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl on the list. Most upbeat realistic post-nuclear title. Ever. It's Russia, everyone wants to kill you and you absolutely need to survive to make it to the end. It's a bit edgy, but its traumatic and stressful moments might help take the edge off that Spec Ops: The Line thing you got going.
Symphony is on sale now. Better than Advil and Prozac combined. Just zone out. Enjoy music, enjoy colours, shoot shit. Simple.
Too bad there's no Noby Noby Boy for you. It's like a big reset button for the brain.

Rock of Ages if you want something that makes such little sense it'll make you go into giggling fits

Up-beat? Ever played an up-beat beat-up game? It's called "Viewtiful Joe" and it's hilariously-weird. It's also got a sequel. Would you believe it's called "Viewtiful Joe 2"?
Then, there's also Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. The latter is a sequel.
Rayman Origins made my face hurt, because I couldn't stop grinning ear-to-ear. I suspect the same thing is going to happen with the sequel. What? No, it's not called "Rayman Origins 2"! It's called "Rayman Legends"!
There's always the lovably-colorful-and-cartoony-but-still-all-kinds-of-rockin-awesome classic Sonic the Hedgehog titles. The Adventure ones are awesome, too, but... considerably darker. I mean...
...first an entire city gets flash-flooded, then Prison Island blows up, and then the entire planet almost gets destroyed!
You may also enjoy Plants vs. Zombies, the Ratchet & Clank series, TimeSplitters, Banjo-Kazooie, Serious Sam, and...
Do tell me if this puts a smile on your face...
