Delete clientregistry.blob

Delete the games' folders in steamapps/yourname/

Delete the .gcf files (through Steam would be best)

Then reinstall them and try again.

I didnt say delete the steam folder maybe try reading what i said first would be helpful
in certain cases the folders in steamapps or the .gcf themselves get corrupt however you seem to know what your doing have a nice day
