Re-Installed Steam...type to start gaming again!

[roguerower]

My desktop was serving as my HTPC so I wasn't using it very much for gaming. I installed an 80gb Intel SSD as my boot drive and my other disks were being used for media storage. Now that I've set up a media server and moved everything to my 2x3TB hard drives on it, I had a spare WD Black 640gb HDD laying around. So last night I unloaded Steam from the SSD which was really sucking because it was limiting how much I could install, and put it on the 640gb. I went through my list of 50 steam games and just started initiating downloads. Right now in my queue, probably downloaded by now, there is (in no particular order):

Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Portal 2
Sniper: Ghost Warrior Gold
Darksiders
Metro 2033
Red Faction: Armageddon
Red Faction Guerilla
Homefront

Should keep me busy for a while. Any recommendation for playing order?

Out of those, I would do Mass Effect 1 and 2 first. Be sure to keep your Shepard save around to transfer to Mass Effect 3 when it drops in March.

ME1,ME2 or Darksiders (in between?) I'm playing it right now and really enjoying it. It's basically a GOW clone, but it's pretty good.

You know you don't actually have to install steam on the spindle drive, you could use something like Steam Mover to just move the games you are not playing at this time leaving just the game you are playing on your SSD to take advantage of the fast load times.
I assume it would work the other way around too, but probably not quite as effectively (but I really don't know, it might work just as well.)

We'll see how the Black Drive works. I used it for Steam before I got the Intel SSD and I wasn't waiting forever for game loads.
