Thanks for the advice! I guess I am going for a non-lethal play as much as possible, of course I can be prone to just shooting everything in sight when things go awry. But since the stealth element is much more solid, I'll start putting more points in the martial arts skill as well when possible.

I'm pretty sure Mafia was removed to protect future generations from dick-punchingly awful game design decisions.
Once you get your hands on the tranq gun, it's incredible. Even works on bosses!
Was Legend of Pegasus that bad?
Actually looking further in that thread it mentions the developer went bankrupt.

The Darkness 2 can be finished in a sitting or two, and is pretty fun.

I think the first question to ask is "what should I skip altogether?"
and the answer to that question would be Alien Breed.

Braid & Costume Quest.
I like top down isometric shooters
I'm not a huge platformer person and I'm at a point in braid I don't know what to do.
I had to restart from the shopping mall place because I lost my save file, now I'm just like ehhh

If you're not a fan of platforming, and you just want to play for the ending, just youtube that shit
That's what I do when I'm stuck on games I'm not keen of.

Everyone who has Costume Quest but hasn't played it yet should play it in these next few days. It such a good game especially around Halloween. Fun writing, great gameplay, and its length is just about right.
Plus the Arrested Development reference.

noitu love 2 is short and decently fun I have 110 min on it and beat it twice and am halfway through a third time.
I should give it another try sometime, but the time I tried playing costume quest I found the combat boring and had problems focusing on it thus I put it down, the kicker being of course that I am actually a heavy turn based JRPG player so I am not sure why I found CQ's combat so boring.

Most of the removed games never had retail Steam keys. Prey did, the Football Manager games do, but most of the rest you would have to actually find someone that bought an extra copy and kept it in their inventory.

You think Steam would eventually be a video store?
You think it'll eventually be food delivery?
You think it'll become the Matrix?

I played a bit more and found that using a silenced pistol with the 'improved pistol critical hit' perk in combination with the sound generator to lure enemies within range works really well. Of course you can still make that non-lethal by using tranq ammo but I like killing people
Glad to see nothing too upsetting in that removed list. Half of it is Everquest/MMOs and sports games. I have NWN 2, Wolfenstein, Prey, Everyday Genius: SquareLogic and maybe a couple others. Stalin vs. Martians is the only thing I'm kicking myself over.
The MMOs and sports games I get. Single player stuff sort of boggles the mind. Do they hate money?
Yup, started it last night, played for almost half an hour and then a friend asked me to play Left 4 Dead 2 with him. From what little I played of CQ, I thought it was fun, and with a nice sense of humor (not unlike Psychonauts, which is a great thing). I'll definitely play more of it.
So there's close to zero chance I'll get Wolfenstein 2009 then.

Rock of Ages can be completed in a few hours. Might have some rather rare multiplayer games going because of the free weekend also.
Prey - Ran out of keys
Wolfenstein - Publishing rights switched from Activision to Bethesda
NWN 2 - Atari lost the rights to the NWN licence.
No idea , that's why I grabbed the Super Granny games just to be safe.
i have NWN 2 and Everyday Genius: Squarelogic myself, it's a bit of a shame that never winter nights 2 isn't being sold anymore, but it's a huge shame squarelogic isn't, it's a great little numbers game.
I e-mailed TrueThought wondering if the somewhat recent resubmission to Valve was moving along at all, and also asked if Greenlight is something that had been considered, but never received a response.

Anyone have any idea why gta:VC was taken out? Possibly ran out of keys?

oh god yes
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit this could be the best Halloween ever on Steam.
Some have taken it as an indication that the game is to be replaced with a new version based on the recently-announced iOS/Android remaster.
Edit: Fixed link.
Doubt it. Does Vice City PC even use keys?
I had given up hope.. Do we still think a sale is happening?
About bloody time. Pity the sequel is console-exclusive.

Probably getting ready for Halloween. I'm always glad when older titles come to Steam.
Pity's it's not very good, either.

This trend of Sega putting up old games on Steam is something I could get behind.

It kinda depresses me that Farming Simulator beat Mark of The Ninja & Hotline Miami to get to the top 10 in Steam.
Buying this on release, it's been a long time coming.

Is the first Condemned actually scary? I might pick that up if it's out for Halloween.

I find that hilarious
There's some meta joke to be found in the game's popularity.The game creates some genuine tension when you're creeping through the environments. Those mannequins...

If you hate the homeless, fuck yes. If you hate mannequins, hell yes. If you,....oh god it was the scariest game.

I can't speak to Hotline Miami, but if I had to guess Mark of the Ninja is probably suffering from being launched on the 360 first and Klei's track record not being so great.

There's gotta be a better way to say this.
