And Max Payne.
But I'll wait until they are on special again.

I'm still waiting for Super Meat Boy to get patched so I can play it :(...
The game won't launch, just gives me a black screen that hangs.
Quite a few guys with the same problem.

Some general tips for those having trouble launching / opening the game / crashing. Some people may be experiencing a black screen with a cursor showing and sound / audio still working. These suggestions work for that too, as well as lag / stuttering:
-- If you're using Windows 7, right click the game's exe -> properties -- and set the compatibility to Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3)
-- Run the game in administrator mode
-- Apply the latest game patch
-- Change your resolution (preferably to something lower), and then run the game
-- Verify the integrity of your game cache through Steam
-- Delete your local content, and then try downloading and re-installing
-- Though not commonly necessary for this game, you can try setting the game to run with only 1 or 2 cores by loading task manager while the game is open (CTRL+ALT+DEL), right clicking the game under the processes tab, selecting "set affinity" and then choosing the first 2 cores. This may fix some lag problems or general playability problems
-- Though not recommended, you can also try loading task manager as mentioned above, right clicking the game under the "Processes" tab, Set Priority -> High. This generally is not recommended as it can cause instability with the game that can cause your game to freeze. It does not solve a problem if it creates another one, now does it? That's why I won't recommend it

It may be your DirectX in this case. It's suggested you try the following:
Step 1) Navigate to your Steam folder
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\super meat boy\Prerequisites\
Step 2) Run the DXSetup and vcredist files to ensure they install
Step 3) Try launching the game again
Step 4) If still not working, then try installing the DirectX End-User Runtime using Microsoft's Web Installer Here
Wait. Max Payne? One or two? (Can't access steampowered from work) This one always used to appear and disappear.
