Does Sony really have an interest in "outcheaping" Microsoft as far as online goes?

Out of curiosity, could you list the games Steam has given for free so far. Of course I am talking games that are relatively recent and aren't free to play by nature. It seems crazy that a service would give away 3rd party games for free on a monthly basis.

I have seen some pretty awesome offers available on steam but not any free AAA games yet. So I would be interested to know when such things happen. I did get a free copy of Dirt 3 with my graphics card though but that doesn't count.

Age of Empires Online.

Free, but the content that provides the game with real value requires additional purchases.

Age of Empires Online is F2P.  It being free has nothing to do with Steam.

It's free to play up to Level 20 with three civilizations, but if you want achievements, if you want to be able to use some of the cool stuff you accumulate, or actually play versus or with someone else that'll cost you.
