Both Mass Effects;
The Hitman Collection;
Bioshock;
Deus Ex Pack;
The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom;
And the Indie Fright Pack.
Was thinking on buying the Penumbra Pack since it's from Frictional and Amnesia has sparked an interest for the survival horror genre I didn't even know I had (10 years constantly saying "Survival Horrors? Meh, maybe later... or, y'know, never" have reached it's end). Was thinking on buying S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and maybe F.E.A.R. but naaah.

I have so many games now that it's kind of ridiculous. Gift = from a friend to me
AND the Valve pack, which I got for $25 when they first listed it. Price went up to $50 a couple hours later. I spent about $105 total. I just bought a gaming PC a couple months ago, so I'm catching up on what I missed

I bought:

Not too much happily.

The Witcher Enhanced
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Bundle
$9.89
The Witcher was enough but when I saw the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games for the same price, I couldn't resist.

Okay, here goes:
Batman: AA GOTY Edition (£3.75)
Ben There, Dan That + Time, Gentlemen, Please! (£2.49 I think)
Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom (£0.40)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Pack (£3.00)
Star Wars: KOTOR (£1.75)
Telltale Holiday Pack (£16.99)
Total: £28.38
Less than I expected actually. Probably because I missed a couple of the daily deals and/or was "saving money".
Chuffed to bits with KOTOR (40+ hours of gameplay), Ben There / Time Gentlemen (bit short but worth it) and ESPECIALLY the Telltale pack (the two seasons of Sam and Max are £22 EACH now, both of them for £17 plus a couple of extra games to sweeten the deal makes me very happy indeed)

All for £71.91. Not too shabby a haul.
No, when you buy music, films, games, or any infinitely reproducably objects you're just buying the rights for your personal use not for the whole product. Games are no different in that regard.Chibz said:
Kotor: More for the wife than me. Why did combat in BioWare games peak so early with Jade Empire? The turn-basedish stuff in Kotor and Mass Effect worked so much better in Baldur's Gate.
Company of Heroes - loving it, but damn that single player campaign can be brutal
Defense Grid: The Awakening - love me some tower defense, wish the graphics were flashier though
Doc Clock:Toasted Sandwich of Time - pretty funny/fun game though it was a bit short and I didn't like all the helicopter stuff at the end
PoP Sands of Time - so much fun, though I can only play that kind of game for an hour at a time or less
World of Goo - This was amazing. I want a sequel. Also, outstanding music.
STALKER bundle - Pleasantly surprised at how much I'm liking this game. The atmosphere is so much stronger than Fallout. I've got it modded out of course.
Just missed the sale on Torchlight (bought it for $20) and Metro 2033 (bought it for $40). That's like fifty bucks down the drain, doh. Also I didn't realize Metro was so intense on the graphics, way too much fps lag.

I gifted friends a few games but bought nothing for myself.
I gifted
Recatear, Monkey Island collection, Oddworld: Oddbox
I got...uh...
Dragon Age Ultimate Edition
Fallout New Vegas
Laura Croft and the Guardian of Light
F.E.A.R. 2 + DLC
So far I've been blown away by Fallout since I thought it was glorified DLC and what it actually is, is quite an amazing game. Anyone who says it should have just been DLC hasn't played the game, they actually did amazing things.
FEAR 2 is quite a scary game and I was looking forward to it since it came out.
Dragon Age I already played a bit but the DLC is nice so far!
