Thanks Steam with your holiday sales! got me Mirror's Edge for $5 \o/ finally get to see what it was all about years after it has become irrelevant XD Also the THQ pack :O
Mostly i'm most thankful about the sheer variety of games these days. Don't really remember a time when there was so many FPS, RPG, MMOs, RTS, Racing, Sports, Fighting, Casual, Indie, TPS, Hack/Slash, Platform, Sandbox, etc, to play. Dear lord just this year alone all of these Genres had a huge hit(s).
