Question about the steam store

[Jtrain]

Sup guys,
Well about a month back when the steam store was having there huge sale from the last week of December to January 2nd, i went and purchased some games under my Steam account and i made a steal! Anyways last week my Raptor fried with my games on it and i didn't have a chance to back them up, my question really is once i get my system back up and running can i just log into steam and re-install the games? or do i have to repurchase them? I figured that since it's logged under my Steam account i can just re-download them. Thanks ahead of time for any tips and such.

Ya sure can re download them. In future to save yourself time downloading the games you have the option to back-up all your games to another hard drive

Awesome! much appreciated grumpy

Actually, it asks you what size you want to back up. cd or dvd size, once backed up, just burn em to a cd/dvd. It includes an exe that you run that adds the data straight to steam.

[grumpy]

Ya you can do that too. I got mine all on my back-up hdd.

There is a new game on steam just released today I think, called wheelman with vin diesel. LMAO!

I hate that guy, but the pics of the game don't look that bad.
Looks like it would be pretty fun though.

Yeah I saw the commercials for that game, the graphics look horrible, but then again it is a port.

Yea with steam the games go with you, no matter where you log on you can always download and install the game, no limitations.

Yeah and with as much as they update, the retail DVDs are near useless anyway, as you still have to download a huge update. Back-ups are the way to go.
