I just noticed that it seems like a lot of the Half-Life games got updates just over a month ago, so I'm wondering if that's when the dependency upon Steam was removed. If you log into Steam, the update info is in the news section of each game's page in the library.

Just tried Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and it seems to run fine, moved folder, uninstalled from Steam and launched the Brothers.exe file. Fine so far no problems but played for just a couple of minutes, not all the way through since I did this,

Running without launching Steam or on a PC without Steam? Also, which OS do you use?

Takedown: Red Sabre is DRM free on Steam. I have tried it myself and it is also confirmed by the game devs themselves. Multiplayer is Steamworks based.

Sorry for the lack of details, I ran out of time this morning.
So, to be more precise, Bionic Dues needs Steam to install and update the game, but you can copy BD's folder and run it independently on all OS. That's how the dev intended. And I use windows.

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (Multiplayer/Versus) is DRM-free. Just tested myself, no Steam required.

Got another one which excites the hell out of me: Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition.
Go to the Binaries folder and create a shortcut to ShippingPC-BmGame.exe, and add " -nosteam" (without quotes) at the end of the Target field. If you run the game like this, your save data will be completely separate (and non-interchangeable) from any save data you have by playing the game through Steam. The non-Steam save folder is located in Documents\Square Enix.
I was just messing with random commands that could possibly disable Steam, and lo and behold, -nosteam worked great.I can only imagine that this happened because of the recent switch from Games for Windows - LIVE to Steam that the Arkham games went through; the same trick doesn't work with Arkham City, unfortunately.

I thought the Batman games have GfWL that you can't disable - but i don't own them so I can't say for sure. [...]
My question was "how do you figure all that commandline parameters out?" - okay, guessing :)
Still awesome found.

And heh, yeah, it was literally just a command line guess. :P I remembered seeing something saying "nosteam" in some Humble versions of games, since they were Steam-only until Bundles came out, and then they were made DRM-free. I just tried that, and it happened to work.
