Only got Batman Arkham Asylum. Feels like Uncharted sans guns. Not bad, but definately more fit for playing on a console.

Forgot prices but:

Tropico 3 + expansion
Just Cause 2
Wings of Prey

A little upset that I didn't jump on Mafia II though. Sure it will be on sale again in the future though.

Agreed here, I prefer most of the third person action games on a console.

Amnesa: The Dark Descent
Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY
Company of Heroes
Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
Crysis: Warhead
Doom Pack
Global Agenda
Hegemony: Philip of Macedon
Neverwinter Nights 2: Platinum
Quake 2007 Collection
Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. CoP + SoC
Star Wars: KOTOR
The Deus Ex Collection
Titan Quest Gold
Winterbottom
X3: Gold

For a total of 97.44

I wonder how many months it'll take me to play all these games even a little bit...more than 12, definitely. A few impulse descisions (example, Winterbottom for $.49 :D), many games I've always wanted to play but I prioritized my money elsewhere, and some fairly new titles, all for under the price of 2 new console games! Win!

After reading about Mount and Blade and community mods, I wish I'd picked it up as well. I was on the fence regarding Europa Universalis 3, but that was 1 impulse I was able to shoot down.

and re-bought Crysis so I don't have to fish out the DVD when I want to play - and did the same with GTA IV - mostly to get the Liberty City episodes..

Just the Valve Complete pack. I wanted to pick up a bunch of other developer packs that were on sale (like 2K, Ubisoft, and Sega), but I never got around to it. As upset as I am about missing the opportunity to spend just ~$200 on $800 worth of games, the awesome sauce that is Team Fortress 2 could make me care less. It truly is a hilarious and epically fun game.

King's Bounty: Collection $9.99
Claptrap Borderlands DLC $2.49
Mass Effect 2 $9.99
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition $4.99
Winterbottom $0.49
F.E.A.R.: Ultimate Shooter Edition $2.49
F.E.A.R. 2: Reborn DLC $2.49

I already had The Witcher, but my retail copy was the one you had to download and keep like 4GB worth of patches around for, so I decided to just get the Steam version. I had previously gotten the Humble Bundle #1 last year and spent enough on the #2 bundle that they gave me Steam Keys for them.

Humble Indie Bundle 2 $10 (half to Child's Play and half to developers)
Humble Indie Bundle free with $10 donation since it was above the average for Windows users.

So I spent $42 on Steam games this holiday season and have enough games to keep me busy for quite some time.

I only got a few.

Mass Effect 2
Just Cause 2
Sim City 4 Deluxe
Star Wars Jedi Knight collection.

I considered a few other games as well but I am so short of time I thought I would wait until I have gotten through that lot first and wait for another sale in the future to pick up some of the others.
