What are your recent purchases?
Post here your latest purchases for your machine. Be it PC or console.
I will kick off with the following.
Just bought Oblivion GOTY and Bioshock.
With Oblivion I am planning to start a whole new character and
go through it all over again. Never played the Shivering Isles part
yet either.
Bioshock I have played a bit, but not legal. So will install it again
and play it all to the end. Was a bit miffed to see that I just bought
it at Staples for 50$CA and now it's on sale on Steam for 29.95$US!
Already ripped open the packaging and all... ah well.
Before this, I bought Prey when it was on Steam for sale at 5$US!
Now it's up to 19.95$US again. Nice timing there I guess.
So, what are your latest additions?

A Chariot baby hauler thing that we found for $120 on Craiglist.
I negotiated a 6 month moratorium on game purchases in exchange for a ski trip with the reduced spousal budget anxiety add-on.

I actually just re-bought Baldur's Gate 2 + expansion on Ebay since I lost a few discs. I also ordered Tales of the Sword Coast from Amazon to round out the collection. All the talk about cool mods and such really got me interested in playing the original again.
Yeah, it's scary. I'm staring into the abyss right now, and it's staring into me, which I think is kind of a dick move on the abyss's part. - Nyles
The most recent purchase was a subscription to Gametap for the Baldur's Gate 1 & 2. I figure $60 is a fair deal to play those this year.
I've been dreaming of a Nostromo pad, a new soundcard to eliminate some onboard interference, and a copy of Rock Band. Those will have to wait because:
1. my dishwasher had to be replaced
2. my tires had to be replaced
3. my washing machine had to be replaced
4. I had to put the wife's car in the shop
and, 5. we had another kid
Two of the five of course I anticipated - the others were special surprises!
Osiran, lvl 47 Minstrel in LOTRO: Gladden server
I swore not to buy new games until I finish some games in my pile. I cleaned it up a bit thanks to GWJ Pile of Shame thread, so I afforded myself a luxury of buying (well, preordering) Europa Universalis: Rome a while ago. It's out tomorrow, looking forward to it.
You can't take the sky from me.
I had to buy the Rock Band game again because my disc cracked and I'm impatient.
Otherwise, I recently purchased Call of Duty 2 (loved the COD4 campaign) and I bought Crackdown again to play with a friend.

I just got a new pc, so I've been catching up on some games I've missed. I picked up Sins of a Solar Empire, The Witcher (though that one's waiting on the new translation now), Crysis, STALKER, Civ4+BtS, and The Orange Box. It should be noted that I don't actually have time to play any of these.
Oh, and of course Ikaruga for XBLA

Just bought CoD4. I had rented it when it came out, but didn't get back to it over the last 4 months or so. Finished the campaign last week. Fun game, and I'm now enjoying getting stomped in multiplayer.
XBox Live/X-fire: firesloth
Bought Final Fantasy: Ring of Fates (crystal cronicals) for the DS, about two weeks ago... haven't opened it yet.
zhom zhom zini nini
Audiosurf from Steam.
Next purchase will be GTA4.
Recently, I've started playing Planescape:Torment. I picked up the disks for cheap a few years back, installed them, couldn't figure out how to get out of the first area, was annoyed at the antiquated tech, and promptly forgot about the game.
A week ago, I reinstalled the game, ran the enhanced resolutions patch, and started the game with a casual low-pressure approach. An hour later, I was totally hooked. It's an amazing game.
Viking, Dark Sector and C&C3: Kane's Wrath are my most recent game purchases.
My days of not taking you seriously have certainly come to a middle.
Nicholas Cage is my hero
My Gamercard
Darkstar One from Steam.
FFT: War of the Lions
Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness
Jeanne D'arc
Next up is Crisis Core, Mario Kart or The World Ends With You.
XBL / Art / Blog / Buy me!
I recently bought Crisis Core for the PSP, Persona 3 for the PS2 and Metal Gear Solid Essentials Collection for PS2
Edit: I also had got Kanes Wraith for PC.
Though I am trying to limit my gaming purchases though GTA IV is my next big purchase

Make no mistake, I'd hit them all so hard that my pelvis would have to be classified as a deadly weapon, I just don't think they're all

Yesterday the wife and I picked up House of the Dead 2&3 for the Wii, along with two Zappers.
We also ended up pre-ordering Mario Kart.
IronClad Online: PurEvil
I wish I had the time to play all of those.
Oh, and the systems.

I've been on a PSP kick lately.
Killzone: Liberation
WipEout: Pulse
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
I've had exceedingly good luck with all three as I've been having a complete blast with each. It's been a long while since I purchased three games in a row that I played inside and out and have felt I got my full money's worth and then some.
I bought a PS3 with GH3, CoD4, MLB The Show 08, and R6:Vegas. I will be busy. Oh yes, I will!

Just helped my brother get TF2 and I bought Bioshock a two months ago.
I also got a new computer around January/February if that counts.

Same here. Ordered it the other day from Amazon, should get it within a couple weeks. And I'll be getting Persona 3: FES pretty soon too.

Last game I bought was MLB 2K8. My brother picked up Lost Odyssey for me on the cheap, so I will have that soon.

Gaming wise... lessee. I grabbed Soulstorm, Audiosurf, and Bioshock on Steam. I also grabbed Crisis Core on the PSP, and picked up Suikoden for $40 at my local comic shop.
Oogaba.
Been on a mod binge for the past few months. Picked up SSMB for the Wii, but that's been pretty much it for the past few months. Everything else console-wise has been rentals. PC-wise, it's been Project Reality Mod for BF2.
Xbox Live gamertag Druidpeak
Shadowgrounds + Expansion... had to find something to do this weekend with the crappy weather.
I just bought:
Intel Q6600
Abit ip35 pro motherboard
4gb of ram
Antec nine hundred case
Assassins Creed for PC
Thanks for standin' still!
-XBox Gamertag: Tempest Blaze (Without the Y!)
AoC Wicanna : Averic/ToS
My latest purchase was Disgaea on the PSP, as well - we should start a catch-all on it once you guys get your orders in.
XBOX Live: doogiemac
Just finished Jeanne d'Arc, so with some time freed up I had to go and pre-order GTA4 and Age of Conan.
Also purchased COD4 on Steam, downloading now.
-- My Biking Team --
A new set of tires for mine and my wife's vehicles. Next on the list is a new lawn mower -- my current one will probably not make it through another full cutting without exploding into a billion little bitty pieces.
As far as games, Sins of a Solar Empire is my allowable purchase for the first quarter of the year (what a wonderful game!). For the next quarter, I will buy Mario Racing for the Wii (my son and I are really looking forward to that).
Lord of the Rings online
Flatout + Flatout 2 when Steam had the combo for $12.95
Super Mario Galaxy
That's about it. LoTRO has sucked up a good amount of my time so haven't had to purchase much of anything else.
WoW Profile: Haruspex / Medivh Server
Recent purchases, eh?
For Me: Smash Brothers Brawl, Intel e2148, 2gb ram, gigabyte p35 mobo, 500gb HDD and an antec 500 earthwatt psu
For My Wife: The rest of her $2000 vacuum cleaner.
For My Daughter: a pet Betta, which died within a week. I'll be buying another one soon.
For My Son: I haven't bought him much lately. I should probably change that.
