My purchases were pretty slim this year:

Terraria
Hard Reset
Defense Grid: The Awakening DLC: You Monster!
Psychonauts
Fable The Lost Chapters
Half-Life 2: Episode One
Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Still trying to figure out if I want any AC titles, any Total War titles and/or Dungeon Defenders.

I guess I should just call it quits since I'm barely going to be able to get to what I've already got if at all.

Sheesh some of you guys are champs. That's a crapload!

Is Magicka pretty good? There's a pack with a ton of DLC for $6-something. I think if I can get a friend to buy it it would be good.

Still thinking about if I should pick up Arkham City. I've read performance isn't great on PC right now. Anyone played it yet?

I escaped without a single Steam Holiday Sale purchase. I checked everyday.. almost bought SpaceChem, but somehow remembered it was in a Humble Bundle I purchased but hadn't installed yet. nice.


I have been playing Arkham Asylum.. a bargain Steam purchase from sometime this past year.

My haul:

Batman AC
Deus Ex: HR
Dungeon Defenders
Dungeon and Dragons Daggerdale
Grid
Just Cause 2
La Noire
Portal + Portal 2
Terraria
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

With a 60GB per month download limit I will have to choose wisely what to install. I went with Batman, Dungeon Defenders, Skyrim and Terrari for now. Heck this haul might outlast this rig at my rate of game play. :)

Anyone pickup Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale? Price was cheap but how's the game?

My Haul

Bastion
Arkham City
Bulletstorm
MW3
Dead Space
Dead Space 2
Defense Grid: The Awakening
Dungeon Defenders - 4 pack
Lightfish - won this one
Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Payday: The Heist - 4 pack

Psychonauts - 15 hours in already, this game is great

Storm: Frontline Nation - I won a copy of this from the gift pile. I'm not sure what I'll do with it yet.

I had a small wad of cash set aside for video game purchases. This sale made that cash go a long long way.

For me:

Hard Reset
Assassins Creed
Wings of Prey (via a trade for L4D1 and Alien Breed 2 Steam gifts)

And from Gog:
Baldurs Gate 1
Baldurs Gate 2

With Overlord and Orcs Must Die! from the Autumn Sale and The Witcher from last year's Holiday Sale I think I'm set for the year.

I kinda wish I had another FPS. Hard Reset will have to suffice.

Magic: The Gathering 2012
BIT.TRIP.BEAT
Grand Theft Auto IV
Medieval II: Total War Gold
Rome: Total War Complete Pack
Fallout 3 - Game of the Year
Bastion
Hard Reset
E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy
Total War: Shogun 2
Limbo
Portal 2
Orcs Must Die!

12 games for about $50 and I traded for Shogun 2, not bad at all. It's weird, because I was able to survive through Steam's previous sales throughout this last year without buying anything, guess I couldn't help myself this time.

I did awesome!

and I now realize that the only game I will be playing for quite some time is Skyrim. :D

Oh, rivethead reminded me that I did pick up Planscape from GoG for $5, the week before the Steam sale. I played it for maybe 30 minutes, haven't gotten out of the first starter dungeon area. Not sure I will ever pick it up again...

All in all, I got the following:

Deus Ex: HR (+ Missing Link DLC)
Empire and Napoleon: Total War
Fallout: New Vegas (+ DLCs)
Limbo
Magicka (+ DLCs)
Orcs Must Die (+ DLCs)
Portal
Portal 2
Sonic Generations

Already completed Deus Ex:HR, Defense Grid and Orcs Must Die (all DLCs included). Still going along with New Vegas slowly and haven't touched the rest. Wonder if I should add anymore to the list before it ends. Hmm...
