    I bought Assassin's Creed for 5 bucks of steam a few weeks ago. And World in Conflict for 5 bucks from D2D.

    Why? imo, it was pretty fun, and infinitely better than GTA4 was on the PC.

    Took ages to download, and when it did play, it ran terribly.
    It's playable on the lowest settings, but looks so terrible with the engine.

    Two days ago I bought Star Wars: Battlefront II via Steam for $19.99. Well worth the price, I think...starfighter combat is the best :D

    I just bought Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition for PC because it included all of the DLC plus the original game for a good price (cheaper than standalone game + buying all DLC) plus I've been meaning to buy the game anyway. I forgot how much better mods make the game. I wouldn't be able to stand plain ol' vanilla Fallout 3 for longer than 2 hours.

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (although I owned this on xbox 5 years ago or whatever)

    Before that I think it would be Bioshock+Mount and Blade in a deal, then Mass Effect and IL2 (not the new one but the others) from PC world.

    I bought Bioshock the other day. Played some a long time ago but never got far.

    Preordered Left 4 Dead 2 a while ago. Probably getting MW2 soon.

    Gotta think about this one as I haven't bought a game in a longgggg time.....I think diablo 2 bought it during summer like 5 months ago. I barely play it as I suck online and I just get discouraged when I see people with pwnage armor and stuff.
