A digital distribution service owned by Valve Corporation. Originally created to distribute Valve's own games, Steam has since become the de facto standard for digital distribution of PC games.
So I'm totally broke and in search of cheap PC games preferably through Steam. Any recommendations? I'm playing on a laptop with relatively low specs at the moment.
Half-life 2. If that's too high-specced, Torchlight, if that's too high specced, Prince of Persia games, if they are too high specced, KOTOR, if that's too high specced, Braid, if that's too high specced, pull the trigger.
On the main page of the Steam store, there are buttons on the right-hand side that say "Top Games Under $10" and "Top Games Under $5". I'd check those out for ideas.
" Half-life 2. If that's too high-specced, Torchlight, if that's too high specced, Prince of Persia games, if they are too high specced, KOTOR, if that's too high specced, Braid, if that's too high specced, pull the trigger. Edit: Oh, and Max Payne is $9.99 now, too. "
I can run Torchlight and KOTOR as a point of reference for where my specs are at, but those are probably the highest things I've tried. I probably wouldn't be able to play anything higher specced than that.

Actually, Braid seems to run pretty badly on my computer, whereas torchlight and HL2 are fine. Ditto on the choices though. I'd also pick up Trine if they drop the price, and add on original Doom as the game of last resort.
