Only the ones that actually have anachronistically advanced, steam-powered technology in them. There are very few, compared to games which share some characteristics with steampunk.

That's all I can think of right now.

Bioshock isn't Steampunk.
Anyways...Jak and Daxter is futuristic, though it's a bit retro. Recoil: Retrograd MIGHT be steamy.

我就是你们女生最讨厌的那种人I'm the kind of guy you girls hate most.Don't go crazy and quote my post style. Quoting what I say is fine, but doing my post style is kind of nuts.
I don't think FF is steampunk. There's some very minor steampunk elements in it, but most of the games are set in fantasy-like settings with no victorian details at all.
Wild Arms is Desertpunk, but has some Steampunk elements in it (it's an entire anachronistic series). There's some confusion whether or not it qualifies as Steampunk, but it doesn't have enough steam technology or Victorian-esque design.
Lunar 2 has a ship that runs on steam or something. I don't remember. It's been ages. Other than that, nope.
Hmm. I can't really think of any SP games at all.
I hope you have fun erasing my post style, though.
John Stalvern waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were demons in the base. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Cernel Joson were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway. John was a space marine for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the spaceships and he said to dad "I want to be on the ships daddy." Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS" There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the space station base of the UAC he knew there were demons. "This is Joson" the radio crackered. "You must fight the demons!" So John gotted his palsma rifle and blew up the wall. "HE GOING TO KILL US" said the demons "I will shoot at him" said the cyberdemon and he fired the rocket missiles. John plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill. "No! I must kill the demons" he shouted The radio said "No, John. You are the demons" And then John was a zombie.

That's right, that jerk.
The reason I did this? The more you type, the more gold you get. See, I'm really a jerk. Facts for the lulz of having them: Every year about 98% of the atoms in your body are replaced. The human heart creates enough pressure to squirt blood 30 feet (9 m). Sharks apparently are the only animals that never get sick. As far as is known, they are immune to every known disease including cancer. Your nails grow faster in outer space, probably because of the lack of gravity. Bruce Lee was so fast that they had to slow down his films for you to see his moves. In Klamath Falls, Oregon, it is illegal to kick the heads off snakes. In Florida, it is illegal to sing in a public place while attired in a swimsuit. When snakes are born with two heads, they fight each other for food. Canadian researchers have found that Einstein's brain was 15% wider than normal. 1 in 5,000 north Atlantic lobsters are born bright blue. "I am." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language. Lastly, honey is the only food that doesn't spoil.

actually, i think Bioshock is Steam-Biopunk. it has biopunk, but also has many elements of steampunk-like tech.
as for other games which are pure steampunk (as in, ones that were deliberatly based on steampunk to begin with) i would say:
~Steambot Chronicles (PS2)
~Damnation (PS3, Xbox360)
~Locke's Quest (DS)
~Nostalgia (DS)(not released yet though)
... the Wii needs some steam...

Myst.
I've only played the first two games, but I know for certain that Riven is VERY steampunk, with its geothermal machinery.

Steampunk doesn't necessarily have to be victorian.

Steampunk doesn't necessarily have to be victorian. True, but I still never saw it as steampunk at all. Sure, its got a few steampunk elements in it, but not enough to really make it 'Steampunk'.

Has anyone ever played Sega's Skys of Arcadia Legends for Gamecube? Well it doesn't have a single steam engine in it at all. Not one! Airships, however, feature as an extremly important part of the game, in fact a fairly large part of the is spent exploring the world map (Arcadia is made up entirly of floating islands and continents so unless your in a dungeon or town your in an airship). Apart from that ship-to-ship/monster/bizare other thing battles form an important part of the game too, memorabale ones inclueding a giant wall made almost entriely of cannons, an airbourne giant squid and the powerful Gigas (who put the WEAPONS from Final Fantasy VII to shame).

Naidun ive played -Bioshock -rise of nations:rise of legends -damnation (going to play when released) Damnation has been out for at least a week now. It's already available for rental from GameFly and everything. I wish people would stop including BioShock as steampunk game... There's a difference between steampunk games and "games that share some elements/aesthetics with typical steampunk." Damnation (ugly/gritty/forced or not) is a steampunk game, and BioShock is a "game that share some common elements with typical steampunk."

The early FFs had some Steam to them, but I think it's being blown away by the "Mist".
Speaking of mist...I never really thought of the Myst games as very steampunk. I can see how someone could think that though. It's just that it has such a blend of styles that I find it hard to categorize. I love the series though.
Steambot was pretty damn cool. I would say that it's the tail end of steampunk, though. It leans a bit farther into the modern age than most steampunk I've seen. It was still a great game, just that I'd like to see an extra-Steamy prequel come out...and a lot more trotmobile parts. I just rebought the copy I sold, though.
Skies...umm not really at all. Love it, love the airships, but I don't see the Steam connection. Random fact: Skies of Arcadia Legends was an enhanced and expanded version of Skies of Arcadia for the Dreamcast. In the original, you could get extra items by playing a minigame on the VMU.
Thinking on it...Evoloution 1&2 for the Dreamcast were sort of steampunk...ish. Though it could also be called cyberpunk. The line was a bit blurry...More leaned twords cyber though, I guess.
Some of the designs in Chrono Trigger were certainly steampunk though. Robo (the robot character) plainly has a smokestack, and has to vent steam when he gets worked up. The game skips the era that would have been their world's "industrial/steam age" but from the rest of the game, I always got the impression that it would have been a decidedly steampunk era.
