On steam if you go into offline mode, then restart the client you can start a game without updating.
unless this changed in the last 2 years, steam detects if a game has an "update pending" so regardless if you go offline, if it detected there was an update it prevents the game from launching. I tried to get around my parents crap download with that trick and it failed.
You can usually go launch with the games executable, even if it's already started updating!
