Testapp? For Halo3? What does that mean?

Before the name is switched to the title of the game its called TestApp*numbers*. Halo 1&2 had their TestApp changed to the title of the game where as Halo 3 did not.

They also had the type changed from App to Game where again Halo 3 did not.
 
You can log into Steam on PS3 as long as you're in Portal 2 and I've seen the prompt come up in CS:GO when I did the trial for fun, but i didn't try to connect. Would be interesting if instead of going against the consoles they decided to work with them license older games etc.

I would not be surprised if they announce some sort of thing between the new Xbox and Steam.
It's not impossible. I've always suspected that the end-game to Microsoft's foray into the console realm was the PC.

(Honestly, sans Steam or a copy of sorts an always-on system makes little sense otherwise)

lol Windows 8 exclusive.

Or you know the conclusion that makes sense, Valve's is finally updating the logo for Windows family. When a game doesn't support an iteration of an OS it shows up as a textual warning no logos. And that is the new logo for Windows not Windows 8.

Valve is horrible with this stuff, their site for the mobile app still features old images for the logos of the distribution stores (iOS, Amazon) and still features "Android Market" that was re-branded Google Play over one year ago.

KOF XIII added more achievements, essentially confirming the game.

All that is left is Halo at this point.

A lot of these achievements match the 360 version

KOF XIII Confirmed


Looks like KOF XIII also added more achievements.

Pretty much all but confirmed at this point.

Hint: You can start celebrating now.

Joe Danger, which wasn't in the OP but was disclosed through the registry, confirmed.

It goes to show how long things can be found in there with developers messing with the tools until it is actually decided on release. The first of the Joe Dangers (both coming out) was spotted there I believe prior to the release of "2" on other platforms.


Updated the list and changed the way it was organized.
Today, some truly messed up stuff is showing up*:

Released
Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition (Duke Nukem 3D+)
Super House of Dead Ninjas
Dyad
Retro/Grade
Angry Birds Space
Fez
Cut the Rope
La-Mulana
Resident Evil: Revelations
Fast and Furious 6 - (Released as Fast and Furious: Showdown)

Confirmed Release:
Yogventures! <-- Greenlit
Octodad: Dadliest Catch Beta <-- Greenlit, estimated 2013
Shadow Warrior Complete <-- Confirmed
The Splatters (To be released as Super Splatters, targeting June 2013, pre-order available via Humble Store widget)
The Witness <-- 2013


Still not announced yet:
Lococycle <- Expected on XBLA 2013, not announced for Windows.
THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII <- More achivements were added
THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2002 UNLIMITED MATCH
THE KING OF FIGHTERS '98 ULTIMATE MATCH
Quantum Conundrum 2
Halo 3
Halo 2
Halo: Combat Evolved
Angry Birds Seasons
Second Life

Ignorable:
Hardware
Hardware (Demo)
Hardware (VIP)
Hardware (Internal)
LucasArts Test App <- Ceased development efforts.

Is it? It's announced for a PC release, but I don't think anyone has confirmed Steam--I mean, obviously, one of the biggest independent games of the year is not going to skip Steam, but has it been explicitly confirmed yet?

Went to read some of Blow's blog posts seems he openly confirms that he has been pushing development builds onto Steam and talks about the diff patch system, etc..

updated.

Lord of Shadow 1 was added to steam database right? Is it announced yet?

I don't believe it is. Though this thread was particularly keeping track of the discoveries at that date some of which were harder to believe than usual. Depending on how Stumpokapow feels on a megalist I can add other stuff if people help track down what's been added lately.
 
It was added to the db (with achievements and all that) but never announced. We'll probably hear more around Konami's pre-E3 event on the 6th.

Not announced yet, but they added even Steam achievements at some point so it's pretty much a given.

And now it is. Another one off the list.
 
I wonder what the Halo PC game is, that showed up on the Korean rating board. It's mentioned to be a TPS, but it's called "Bootcamp". Could it be just the Korean version of Spartan Assault?
