I've just logged back onto Steam for the first time after quite a long
absence. It looks like I'll need quite a few updates to get me current.

Is there an easy way to do this all at once (so it can happen while I sleep)
instead of having to let each individual game update as it's played?

Yes

Start Steam - go to "play games" then for each game you have right
click on it and select properties, then make sure the "automatic
updates" optino is set to "always keep thi sgame up to date".

The leave steam running (and connected to internet) and go to bed -
steam will update all as you sleep.

HTH

Cheers

Thanks, Justin. Will do it tonight and let you know how it went tomorrow. As
yet, NTL haven't stuffed me for exceeding download limits, so hopefully it
will go through no problems.
