Things to note:
- All Valve games use the Steam cloud.
- The majority of games on that list are indie titles, not AAA games, probably because those titles were written specifically with Steam in mind. Still, there are quite a few AAA games there as well.

Usually in all recent games (2-3 years), if a controller is enabled, there are high possibility that Microsoft Xbox 360 works and is well supported.
But to be sure I always suggest to take a look to that game specific forum. Most of times there are users that already asked for Xbox 360 compatibility.

There are many programs that convert gamepad actions into keyboard presses such as: Xbox HID Driver for Mac OS X and Game pad companion. All you need to do is set them up so that the buttons correspond to the in game actions you want them to do and you can control any game from and game pad.
