Bit.Trip.Runner.
I wasn't planning on buying it, but I got the demo and bloody loved it.
There's something awesome about flying through a level, eyes peeled for obstacles, every button-press perfectly synced with the music.

The new Aliens Vs Predator game. Why? Because I just watched the Alien Quadrilogy and Predator, and because I found it for $10. I already owned the old Monolith game and I'm still finishing that off.
I bought Puzzle Agent 2 from Telltale's website. From steam I bought the Assassins Creed series, Recettear, and Lead and Gold. And from GoG I bought Fallout 2. All within the past week. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to play any but Assassins Creed 2, since I was focusing on Alan Wake in my free time... But yeah. Shouldn't need to buy any games for a while. At least til Human Revolution!
Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword.
It was less than 4 USD on Steam. Can't really go wrong with that.

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
I wanted an turn-based combat game for my DS - something similar to Avadon.

But then again, I hate a lot of RPG staples like random chance, grinding, and the outcomes of battles being pretty much entirely dependent on how powerful your characters/items are. Was planning on getting Pokemon White (pretty much for nostalgia purposes, and the whole "choose your team of monster badasses"), but I decided I'll wait and see if they end up making "Pokemon Grey" or something.
Well, I ended up finding out that I want more in a turn-based game than strategy. I hate a lot of things about RPG's, but what I do like about them (well, some of them anyway) is that they give you the ability to customize your character(s), and play the way you want to. I also like Action Commands, but Paper Mario seems to be the only game that's ever done them right. Half of the time, when I fail a mission, I end up losing the will to keep playing. As opposed to, say, Megaman Zero or Contra, where as soon as I die, I want another shot at beating whatever level I died on, and I end up retrying until I beat the mission (or in Contra's case, I lose all my continues and think "Fuck it, I'll try again later.")

Wait, that's out? Why didn't anyone tell me?!Skullkid4187 said:
And Duo's awesome!
OT: I bought Metro 2033, because I loved the Stalker games, and it's very similar. Not quite as good, in my opinion, but still pretty awesome.
Edit:I just bought Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3!
Why? Because I am hopelessly obsessed with giant robots wielding laser swords and guns.
I will probably watch the new Transformers movie too... and like it.
...Don't judge me
Batman: Arkham Asylum. Heard nothing but good things about it, and it was on sale for $7. And I also want to beat it before I get Arkham City.
Magicka during the Steam sales and now I can't play it on my Mac. But it was cheap and I've always heard good things.
