I've tried several tutorials but can't get it to work - I got it all to install, and Steam pops up no problem, but the games crash at the loading screen and bring me back to my desktop.

You should always check Application DB  (http://appdb.winehq.org/) first. It has lots of useful information regarding Steam and Valve games.
In your case it seems you did not disable "In-Game community".
