"Garry's Mod" ($9.99)

Build a game level, play in it with friends and then blow it all up: You can do all that and more in "Garry's Mod." More like a development kit than a finished game, "Garry's Mod" lets users play with the game engine and art assets that power all of game developer Valve's best games.

"Divekick" ($9.99)

"Divekick" ($9.99)

Both a homage and a parody of fighting games, "Divekick" distills competitive combat into just two buttons: dive and kick. Add its snarky, irreverent humor, and the result is a game that appeals to both hardcore and casual audiences.

"Fallout 3" ($9.99)

With its sprawling open world and gritty post-apocalyptic world, "Fallout 3" received numerous "Game of the Year" awards in 2008. Now, the game is available for just $9.99 on Steam, or $19.99 for the Game of the Year edition that includes three DLC (downloadable content) packages.

"To The Moon" ($9.99)

"To The Moon" ($9.99)

Two scientists must sort through a dying man's memories to grant his final wish: to go to the moon. With its linear story and no combat to speak of, "To The Moon" might not be what you're expecting, but it's all the better for it.

    Go check Amazon. In the last 3 days, I got Max Payne 3 + Season Pass $7. I got Borderlands 1 GOTY, Bioshock 1 AND 2 and Duke Nukem Forever Complete as a bundle for $9.99! Far Cry 3 for $7.50. Dead Island GOTY for $4.99. Dead Island Riptide for 7.50. Plus, there are a whole bunch of other games that I haven't personally bought but are under $10 and on Steam such as the Telltale Walking Dead Pack for $7.50, the last 4 Grand Theft Autos for $11 (ok $1 more) or $7 without GTA IV, the XCOM collection for $9.99, and a bunch more single games or bundles where each individual game comes out to under $10.
