Welcome to Steam <---- Link

Steam "The Client" is free. And there "Is" some free content including game demos, videos, and some indie games. However, you have to remember that the Steam client in only a "Host" for games, or a "Hub" if you will. So most of the good content needs to be purchased ie: Full version games. That being said, there is tons of ways to purchase games, you can have games "Gifted" to you, and Steam always has what they call a "Weekend deal" every weekend where they will host a specific game for a discount price, or sometimes a game package. For example I bought the ID Software pack a while back for I think 40 or 50$ .. This incuded Doom, Doom2, Doom3, Quake1, Quake2 +Expansions, Quake3, Hexen, The Wolfenstein series. and so forth. I also bought the Entire Prince of persia series for 40$ .. Pop1, Pop2, Pop3, and the Need cell shaded one. Also I am sure that last weekend was Fallout3 + Expansions for a really good price.

Steam accounts are free. But you have to link games you buy to really get the enjoyment out of it.
