I've got a HP DV6113us Pavilion that has 2GB ram, SSD, Win7 and onboard Nvidia 6150 video. Any good Steam games that will play well on this laptop?

I'm going on 3 weeks vacation and I'll be sitting around a lot.

I'll also have a USB keyboard and mouse, so no worries about having to use a track pad.

(I was thinking about Space Hulk possibly. I've got Dawn of War already)
 
I like Game Dev Tycoon, or maybe Rochard, the original TorchLight I think should be ok...

guess it depends on what type of games you like
 
What types of games are you looking for?

Just trying to come up with a broader list of games I like with lower system requirements and are on Steam:

Rogue Legacy, Rollercoaster Tycoon, GTA3, Source games (HL2, I know it'll work since I played it on a Thinkpad T40 with a 1.ghz Pentium M, 1GB RAM and an ATI 7500), Morrowind, and Mount & Blade.
 
First off, sorry for not being very clear in the OP. I've had a really nasty headache for a day and a half, and I'm not thinking as clearly as I'd like.

Check out terraria?

Not really into side-scrollers, but for that does look like a well developed one.

I think I've got the original TorchLight. I'll install it and see how well it plays.

Games I've enjoyed:
HL2, Diablo, Dawn of War, Borderlands, oblivion, minecraft, plants vs zombies, doom 1 & 2, portal, starcraft.

Hope that helps. And thanks to everybody for their suggestions.
 
FYI terraria isn't a side scroller. It is more akin to minecraft and I would say is a better made version (at least more things to craft and make)
