    Default Time to tackle that Steam backlog...

    So I've installed some games from my Steam account, after being reminded I had one with some games, so which should I play first?

    Portal or Bastion, I say. I personally don't like the gameplay of Bastion, but I've heard that tons of other people do.

    Out of the true "must play" games on that list, Portal will likely take you the shortest time to beat and you'll be glad you did.

    This. You can bash Portal out in an afternoon or an evening.

    Honestly every single one of these games is solid and worth a playthrough (yes, even Braid), but Deus Ex is the best one on the list.

    Deus Ex and Portal. Portal isn't a very long game though so maybe just get that out of the way right away.

    and is that really your entire steam backlog?
    everything is wrapped in gray

    So many good games on this list! I'd say either Bastion, Portal or Deus Ex.

    I have a few more, but these to me were all the high profile "should have played them back when they were new" titles. Though I will admit I probably only have maybe seven more games on my Steam Account. I tend to ignore Steam so I don't blow all my money on increasing my overwhelming backlog.

    I have played a little bit of Portal, but was stuck playing in the same room my friends GF was in and she ADORES this game. So she ended up backseat playing the game for me, and I enjoy puzzle games too much to have the puzzles solved for me, so I stopped playing and never finished it.
