Apparently my first was Left 4 Dead back in November 2008.  Although I remember playing the game, I don't remember buying it or getting/installing Steam itself, so I've not got any anecdote to go with that small fact.

Orange Box!
Got it a few weeks after it came out, in 2007.

Apparently Portal was my first Steam game. The free one they did a few years ago.

Other than that, the Jedi Knight series.

Team Fortress 2 and then the THQ Humble Bundle, mainly for Company of Heroes and all of its expansions for around $6.

My first Steam purchase?

  Hasn't happened yet.
  Retail Supreme Commander 2 required Steam to be installed just to register the game, download 2 gigs worth of patches and was just an ok game after that.
   Then I added XCOM Enema Unknown and Warlock: Master of the Yawn.

  And that's it.  Three games on Steam.  What do I win?

I got the Orange Box in stores, and never really being a PC gamer before I installed it on my shitty desktop and had a blast with every game in that package. Particularly TF2, which I played frequently and even played semi-competitively until it went F2P and my interest in it dropped as soon as it happened. Now I have over one hundred games, which isn't super impressive compared to other people's libraries, but I definitely want to get over the two hundred mark one day.

The Orange Box. The original one, which I picked up in a store.

Orange Box is what had me install Steam. I only wanted Orange Box for the Half Life (2?) mod Natural Selection. Heh :P First of August 2008.

After a year of only free to play games, I was given a copy of Bastion from someone here. I recently bought Gunpoint, as well.

Anyone of the equivalent to the royal bloodline in a nomadic group would have a sun tattooed on their hand, or a scrotum on their forehead (it's a little-known fact that fraternities are based off of long-forgotten tribes).
