They're there. Company of Heroes, Titan Quest (and expansion), Full Spectrum Warrior (and sequel). Coming soon are Supreme Commander, Stalker, and the DoW series.
Damn, I could have bought the FSW set for $13 and had both...but noooo, I had to order just the first game for $10 + shipping two weeks ago. Then again, the download would have been a total bitch.

I'm reading the Steam news and they had Darwinia + Uplink for $10....the week I was out of town. FUCK!

At least you can deal w/ FSW minus the extra loads of bullshit that comes by having it over STEAM.
I paid $20 for TQ retail a while back and last week I paid $20 for TQ: Immortal retail (still on sale at EB/GameStop, right now) -- and I don't have to deal w/ STEAM at all.
I paid $30 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl retail version -- and guess what? No STEAM. BTW, STALKER's $30 for the PC at GameStop, right now.
Hmmm...I dunno' -- but is STEAM's newest sale (http://steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=news&id=1115&cc=US) trying to compete w/ EB's newest flyer? (http://www.ebgames.com/gs/weeklyad/current/olfsi_071307-2.asp)
Current prices....
CoH = $26.95 on STEAM this week; while $29.99 @ EB/GS.
TQ = $17.95 on STEAM this week; meanwhile $20 normal price all the time at EB.
TQ: Immortal Throne expansion = $17.95 alone on STEAM; $20 @ EB.
TQ: Complete package (TQ + TQ: Immortal expansion) = $26.95 on STEAM.
Buying both TQ + Immortal this week would be $40 @ EB.
STALKER = coming to STEAM; meanwhile $29.99 @ EB this week.
Me, I'd rather spend the extra few $ to have some of these games on disc...
...As opposed to dealing w/ STEAM.
Unless STEAM can improve some of its stupidities, I'll always opt, if given the choice, for the disc version that comes w/out STEAM.
But, if the game always deals w/ STEAM and is exclusive to it -- such as HL2 -- then, well, you got no choice, if it's the only place in town. :P
