I might consider that one when it hits the same 10 US I paid for KB. Yeah, I'm cheap.
(..though Witcher 2 was "staring me down" at the store, but at 50 US - I passed it by, if reluctantly.)
I think at some point I should really take a look at the better community campaigns for NWN2..

..but I'll wait until Kaedrins has some of the additional development I'm looking for.
Worse still, I've got several games installed that I just haven't had the desire to really start playing. I'm starting to realize that I'm a "serial" player. Buy one game, play it thoroughly and then, (and ONLY then), move onto the next purchase and play.
-"a man has got to know his limitations."
..speaking of other games, I've been considering going stereoscopic 3D (with glasses that should be available soon). If I do that I'll start more heavily into 3d 1st"ish" person perspective games. The game-play video of this one intrigued me:

Torchlight might go on sale on steam, I checked, not tonight. Its 15.
That means you get a lot of money worth on the ones you like and that makes up for the ones that gather dust.

And there are quite a few of those.
It's odd, but that rationale didn't *truly* happen for me until I played Dragon Age Awakenings and then waited for Dragon Age II.
Dragon Age was worth the 60 US I spent. Awakenings on the other hand wasn't worth the 30 US I spent - maybe 15 IMO, and so I decided to actually wait for opinions on Dragon Age II - and sure enough *poor value* reviews. Of course when people were realizing they got screwed on their purchase of Dragon Age II, I was enjoying Two Worlds for the 8 US I paid for it.. and Mount and Blade for 5 US before that.
I figure this kind of purchasing not only costs a LOT less, but it also extends the useful life of my computer hardware, and particularly the video card.

Steam is pretty cool sometimes when they have mega sale. Its not quite as good as buying in the bargain bin. But I got Fable 3 for 24 dollars and thats a new game. Two worlds 2 was on sale for a while for 18 dollars.
You gotta look out for the steam sales, I am learning.
