Alienware have released a Youtube playlist of them playing games using the Steam Controller on their SteamOS powered Steam Machine.
You can see a video of Victor Vran running really well:
You can see the full playlist here.
It's worth noting that these seem to be made on their lowest configuration, so they are keeping expectations in check nicely with that.
I will be trying to pick up a Steam Machine after the launch, as it will be nice to be able to write a bit about it, and keep up with developments. I already have a Steam Controller ordered, but I missed the early release time period.

I know that they post this videos with games that run nicely (seems that this is more like an element of the sales campaign) but I would love to see both Metro games, Witcher 2, Shadow of Mordor, Cities: Skylines, Borderlands TPS. Just to know how do they work on the hardware before I would decide to order/buy it.

Just to know how do they work on the hardware before I would decide to order/buy it.I've played Cities: Skylines for some time (with the open source radeon drivers) and it works pretty well. I had a couple of slowdowns, but since the pace of the game is not really high, it's really not a problem. Plus, maybe it works better with proprietary drivers? I just never tried (FOSS FTW :D)
I have the same feedback for the two Civilizations, plus some minor graphics glitches.
But remember that I don't have the supported config at all: Fedora + open source drivers

A couple of months ago, I finished both Metro redux games without problem at 1920 x 1080 (settings at medium quality) on Steam OS with a GTX 750 1Gb DDR5 + Core i3 4160 8Gb ram 1866...
Now I am assembling an steam machine with a low profile Gigabyte GTX 750ti.. To bad there isn't a low profile version of the GTX 960

Hi guys,
I know that games listed by me in previous post work on Steam OS. I just would like to see gameplay in this games including graphic options and fps counter in order to be able to see how good performance on this particular machine is. From my perspective all the games tested (except Victor Vran) are not hard to run on even very old hardware.

There's evidence that these games are not even being run on SteamOS from this post on reddit, courtesy of Ethan Lee aka flibitijibibo
Quotecan't speak for the other titles, but looking at the Rogue Legacy gameplay it appears to be running on Windows and not SteamOS. The options menu gives it away:

One of the first things I did for that port was def out the DirectInput option, since we had the SDL2_GamePad in FNA. That option's never shipped in the Linux/Mac builds.
