I bought one or two through Amazon, if they count as "brick-and-mortar retail." I bought quite a few others through Steam.
I can think of three right off the top of my head; Mass Effect 2, Halo: Reach, Fallout: New Vegas. I'm pretty sure I bought more in retail stores, but I'm blanking on titles.

The only big game I bought at retail last year (that I remember) was Mass Effect 2. I had to go round 5 different games stores before I found one that had a copy for the PC, and when I finally did get it the second disc didn't work, so I ended up getting a digital copy from EA. This is why most of my big purchases are digital these days.
I bought about 30 games retail and about 5 digital. I buy a lot of games and I'd buy more if I had more money. Also all were brand new, I only buy second hand games if they can no longer be found new and are discontinued.
I also reviewed all of them on my blog that were released in 2010

iv bought maybe 20 disk games, namly, mechwarrior, command and conquer generals and c&c 3, starcraft 2, diablo 2.... freelancer (good game btw, not a whole lot of people have heard of it), ... HL2 (after which i devoutly bought 99% of my games through steam) battlefield 2..... far cry.... and thats about all the disk games i own, over my whole life, maybe 2 of them i bought this year...
the rest of my 150+ games i have on steam
my old computer had 3 DVD drives so i could install games with less 'insert next disk' prompts and so i wouldnt have to switch out disks when getting on a different game
my current one has 1, and i only needed it to install the OS, for starcraft 2 (dam u blizzard, and i hate ur website), and when i want to play some mechwarrior 4
(to be honest, there are more disk games that i own on that list, but most of those are **** that i cant remember, and i bought them ages ago, and my only console is the PS2, do have some good games on that, but i rarely use it anymore due to my comp)

Red Dead, Mass Effect 2, New Vegas, Fable 3, Grand Theft Auto 4 Complete, Serious Sam 1 & 2, Medal of Honour: Airborne, Beautiful Katamari, and in DLC: Breath of Death, all the DLC for Mass Effect & Mass Effect 2 and Red Dead, Understone for Fable 3, Deadliest Warrior, Dead Rising: Case Zero, and Cthulu Saves the World.
A wee bit more than six, methinks.

I bought a bunch digitally but only Bioshock and Starcraft 2 at retail. I just had to finally get around to Bioshock, which was totally awesome. As far as Starcraft 2, I'd only trust a game that I've been waiting over a decade for, and is beyond awesome, to a disk that I can tangibly say is mine.
