It would be easier to view all the games if Steam wouldn't keep partially shuffling the list on each page change.

So far, many of the games seem to fit into categories.

* Alread-released games (That are trying to get on Steam)
* Partially complete games (Sometimes playable demo's etc)
* "Ideas" (Ideas are a dime-a-dozen)
* Other-peoples games (Such as several Minecraft's etc). They are getting progressively "banned" though.
* IOS/Mobile games. My personal dislike of this type of the game forms this category. Rounded-edge logo's usually give them away. (Most of them are also Tower Defence games)

Here are the ones that I am liking the look of:

* Blockscape (Super-HD Minecraft with finer blocks, water physics, slopes etc). Looking pretty polished.
* Blockade Runner (Minecraft in space, had my eye on this for a while).
* Routine (Dead space, but more atmospheric and 80's style SciFi. Which is awesome). Looking very polished.
* Dream
* Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator (A Ship Simulator where multiple people have to interact with individual consoles. Sounds interesting)
* Lumenox: Aaru's Awakening
* Chuck's Challenge 3D (Seems like the guy who did Chips Challenge. Nostalgia overflow)

You forgot another category, alexandertnt: Things that are there to see how long it take for someone to notice its a hentai (or other category of game you usually don't see in public) game, and probably not by them.

Wait what, Greenlight accepts concepts and partially completed games?

RIght now I have only voted for 6 of the near 700 games on there.  All of them are ones I had previously heard of.
Automation          -- I already own this
Blockade Runner  -- I own this too
Reciever              -- Got it with OVergrowth
Project Zomboid   -- Almost bought it earlier, but deided to wait
Kinetic Void          -- Found it too late to kickstart it myself
Rawbots              -- I need a Robot Arena 2/Spore replacement

Of course, there are probably things that I didn't see that I would support, but It's really hard to find them, and someone had put up Star Wars Battlefront on greenlight.  I was almost dissapointed it wasnt Battlefront 3.

Some are more subtle than others.

I saw one zombie game whose main picture was of a unreasonably well endowed zombie playboy bunny bouncing her cleavage around. I'm not one to rage at childish displays of immaturity on the Internet, but I was kind of shocked. There are places you expect to see tasteless sex appeal, and others that you don't.

If you specifically mark it as 'concept', yeah.

That was "Zombeer". It had an animated gif of a female zombie shaking it's tits around with absurd amounts of jiggle physics. They've changed the icon now but it's still in the trailers. I was speechless when I saw it but I'm sure it will get Greenlight. They know what the Steam demographic is like :/

There's tasteless sexualization bordering on necrophilia, and then there's the incident Aklyon was referring to.  Considering the average XBLI game I'm surprised we haven't seen more poorly doodled anime tits.

There is more than plenty of that, Microcline. Its just scattered throughout the internet instread of coalesced into game form.

Tried to read the description. Oh Zeus, the poor grammar. What have it done against the developers of this game? Seriously, they haven't even bothered to pass the description of the project, its very face for most people, through a spellchecker, let alone actual revision.

An excerpt, to share the suffering:

Yes … you must drink some beers if you don't want to transform into a Zombie (like in the real world?), but if you drink too much you'll have some troubles to contrl the player (like in the real world, hehe).
Yes, this is part of the description of the game project in Steam Greenlight. It's not an informal post in a forum, it's not some quick tweet, not some small fragment lost among a truckload of text, it's the Amok damned description.

On a positive note, I just found Sang-Froid, a game where you play as a pair of Canadian lumberjacks who must protect their sister from the Devil and his werewolf minions using traps and historically accurate liquor and firearms.  The gameplay looks a bit like Orcs Must Die but with more open environments and much stronger enemies, like what would happen if you combined OMD with the strider battle from the end of Episode 2.

Sang-Froid is from the same folks who inspired the makers of Castle Story. I definitely gave that one a thumbs up.

It's a pity there is no option to not rate a game and just remove it from the big list of unrated games. I don't really want to have to downvote games that may be good but are not of a type that I would be interested in simply to get them out of the list.

Down voting essentially just does that (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=32641767&postcount=5)
