So, I need some help. I have $25 to spend on games, and I'd like to buy something on Steam. It needs to be able to run on a slightly older computer. It can run CoD 4, at most. Please, recommend something.

Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 1/2, Garry's Mod, Half-Life 2. I have no idea if you have these, I would assume you can run them, they're not really difficult.

Apart from that, I have no idea what genres you like. I see Splinter Cell in your avatar so I'm gonna recommend Thief: Deadly Shadows.

I'd reccomend Thief 1/2. While Deadly Shadows has slightly better stealth, the level design in the originals makes them far better games.

On Steam? Off the top of my head, I'd suggest:

Knights of the Old Republic (Star Wars RPG)
The Path (Uh... Iuhno)
The Oddworlds (Odd platforming)
World of Goo (Puzzle)
Psychonauts (Platformer, must have)
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl (FPS for masochists)
Painkiller (Very fun FPS)

Check out the Under 10$/Under 5$ buttons. Tons of fun games there!

If you've only got $25 and need to wait more than a week for more cash, get Team Fortress 2.

If you're going to get more money soon, get Half-Life 2 and Portal.

I suggest you wait for this game to come out

http://store.steampowered.com/app/11780/?snr=1_7_suggest__13

It has a nazi dinosaur army in it, and you get to play as the dinos. Tell me that isn't one of the most awesome concepts ever.

That or mafia 2 while it's still on offer. Knock that baby down to 640x480 pixels and it should run smoothly for yah.

I suggest using that 25 to see what comes up on Steam sales. Get some pretty great deals there, currently Mafia II but I was never impressed by that game.
Oddly enough I wouldn't suggest getting most Valve games (except Portal and maybe Left 4 Dead) because I bought into the hype and love...and came out dissapointed. Just my opinion of course.

If you don't own Bioshock, Fallout or Arkham Asylum, fix that.

Ah, I've never played them. I've yet to finish Deadly Shadows. However, if and when I do I will look into those. It's a good game, I just haven't finished any game I've played in ohhhh.. 2 years.

Mount and Blade Warband. I have clocked over ninety hours on a game which should not be that damn addictive.

Super meat boy.
Magicka.

also tf2 is pretty fun, and killing floor is pretty awesome, but i only recomend those if you have friends to play with. ^^

oh and portal is worth a go if you haven't already played it.

Thanks for the suggestions, I do have most of these games, as you can see:

But I decided to buy Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.

About Mafia 2, I'm downloading the demo first, because, hey, it's $7.50.

UPDATE: Yeah, even at 640x480, and everything as low, or off, as it could be, still only 10 fps.
