Valve's Steam service isn't just for hardcore games like Left 4 Dead. The download service also has a lot of casual titles. Today it was announced.that Steam has added Her Interactive to its list of publisher and will provide Steam with a number of games in their popular Nancy Drew series of adventure titles.

The new arrangement begins today with six titles including Nancy Drew Dossier: Lights, Camera, Curses!, Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek, Nancy Drew: Phantom of Venice and Nancy Drew: The Creature of Kapu Cave. Two of the titles, Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy and Nancy Drew: Legend of the Crystal Skull, will have a 20 percent price cut until July 23. In addition, Nancy Drew: The Phantom of Venice has had its price cut by 50 percent until July 23.

Update: The addition of the Nancy Drew games to Steam is apparently part of an overall launch of a Family Games section for the download service. Quite a number of the games in the category are on sale. Included is a Mumbo Jumbo games collection which currently has 19 games available for just $19.99. That's a savings of nearly $170 if each game was bought separately
