Steam, or how I learned to love buying games I'll never play

Anyone else compelled to buy cheap Steam games? The best new innovation in gaming in the past 5 years is the downloadable game (aka digital distribution). The crazy Steam sales just make it even easier to grab cheap games. Just look at my haul... (First post in 3 years! Well, no. Remember to take backups folks.)

Battlefield 2: Special Forces (PC)

Say what you will about GameStop, but they got BF2: Special Forces to me in 3 days complete with a free t-shirt (spawncamp THIS). With free shipping it was 'only' $30, which seems high for an expansion when that's about what I paid for Battlefield 2 itself. But so far it seems worth the purchase.

There are several new additions: 8 new maps, 6 sides to play as (who doesn't love British accents?), new vehicles (civilian cars, jet skis, attack choppers...), tear gas (and gas masks), night vision goggles, flash bangs, grappling hooks to scale buildings, and then ziplines to repell down buildings. Only certain kits get the gas, flashes, hooks, and ziplines though. Each character kit also has a new weapon you can unlock. But those aren't even the biggest change.
