    Man, I can't stop buying cheap video games. So far:

    Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
    IL2 Sturmovik: 1946
    Crysis Warhead
    Greed Corp
    Just Cause 2
    Metro 2033
    STALKER Call of Pripyat
    Super Meat Boy
    The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
    Kane and Lynch 2

    More to come, too. Probably picking up the Indie Flight Pack.

    It's funny. When I see a game going for $15, I scoff. What a joke! I would buy a game at a price like that in a heartbeat in any store.

    Gawd, too many to list.
    Funny thing, a number of them are games I already owned the box version.

    Just wish GFWL wasn't involved for some of these titles.

    Yeah I had an issue with Flat Out that I bought for my son. It wouldn't run at all until I installed GFWL. Nice undocumented bug. They could, you know, install it for you, or at least TELL you that GFWL is required. Fail.

    The lack of love shown to older Lucas Arts titles (exception: Monkey Island and Sam and Max to a certain degree) makes me a very sad panda. Do want Loom, Grim Fandango and TIE Fighter/X-Wing.

    Picked up the Hitman bundle, Zeno Clash, Medal of Honor and The Witcher. I still cannot, for the life of me, really get into The Witcher, though. Bummer.

    $86 later, I walked away with 38 games that I really, really wanted. The retail price for them is way over $500.

    I re purchased Crysis and Warhead for Steam integration (silly, I know), Plants vs. Zombies, Sonic the Hedgehog for Genesis Classics, the Indie Flight Pack, and for $6.80 I picked up Dead Space, I'll get around to it eventually.

    If it weren't for the fact that I was pretty much broke all last month, I would have bought a hell of a lot of more games. I ended up only buying these two

    Fallout 3 GOTY
    Assassin's Creed II

    I escaped the entire sale without buying a single game. That's right. Not a single one.

    I went into the holiday season knowing full well that Steam would be sappin' mah wallet. Too many games for me to be comfortable with listing. I tried to have a mix of big-name and indie games, as I have been greatly enjoying both Super Meat Boy and VVVVVV.

    I just tried to limit myself to games I knew I would play, with the exception of a few impulse buys that were under $3. I figured that if a game was less than the price of a McDonalds burger, then it was still much less of a risk to try. At the very least, it can't give me food poisoning.

    I did amazingly well compared to last year. Although it should be noted that I bought almost every single Indie Pack during the Black Friday Steam Sale. That being said, I only bought Machinarium. I desperately wanted CivV but assumed it would go on super sale at the end. I was wrong, and I'm ok without it...for now.

    I held myself back and only got the Indie Flight Pack and Braid.

    Still, Gratuitous Space Battles will be the end of me.

    I ended up adding the Indie Flight Pack to my purchases as well.
