Steam Games Won't Launch

[Derpadoo]

I'm having a problem with several steam games in that they just won't launch. When I click play, they will begin to load (or do DirectX setup), then nothing happens. Steam shows me as being in-game for a few seconds, then goes back to normal. Thus far, this happens with Dark Souls, Antichamber, Sanctum 2, and The Walking Dead. However, it does NOT happen with Transformers: War for Cybertron. I'm at a loss at to what's going on here. I've already done alll the reccomended steam fixes (game cache, reinstalling, antivirus blocking, run as admin, etc) but to no avail. I'm using a newly built (1 week ago) PC, with all the drivers new and up to date on Windows 7. League of Legends and other non-steam games seem to run fine, so I'm confident it's not a hardware issue. I really need some help here, as I'd really like to be able to play games on my new gaming PC.

I'd say it was a missing .exe, but since to veried the cache, the only other thing I can think of is to download DirextX11.

DirectX11 is installed, up to date, and I've run the Dxdiagnostic and found no problems.

Hmmm..

You've verified and re-installed Steam and you say DirectX 11 is up to date, but what about each games specific Direct X implementations?

Look through each problem game's directory and see if there's a folder called "redist". And then see if there's a DirectX setup .exe. in there and run it. While you're there, check for any .NET/Visual C set up files and run them as well.

Just did all of that for Antichamber and there's no change. Also you can add Sanctum 2 to the list.

I have Win7 installed on a SSD, while steam and the games are installed on a HDD; would this make a difference or have an effect on how the games launch? The fact that the transformers game works is what leaves me so clueless as to what could be going on.
