If you like tower defense games even a little bit, get Defense Grid, it's dirt cheap and one of the better games in that genre.

Hahah... if you consider Borderlands to be innovative, then STALKER will knock your socks off. (Well, maybe, but in a different kind of way.)
The STALKER games are the most immersive, most atmospheric, most challenging games I've ever played. I'm not sure what else there is to say. As often as I get frustrated - just because of how plain difficult it is - I simply can't not like it, because the atmosphere, the the setting, and the enemies are so goddamn brilliant.
It doesn't have the RPG elements that Borderlands does. There's no leveling up, no skills, no special abilities. STALKER aims to be much more realistic than that. It has realistic environments and physics, weapon degradation, handling, ballistics, and damage. A single bullet to the head can kill you. There's no stats or "second wind" to help you out. You're just... dead. But it all adds to the realism and immersion that is STALKER. Unlike Borderlands or Fallout, STALKER is considered to be the only true tactical-shooter RPG.
I know "immsersive" is a buzzword that's thrown around in the video game industry a lot, but in this game, it's really something else... something huge. After you've spent a few days trekking across the dilapidated, anomaly-infested fields of post-disaster Ukraine, you'll know what I'm talking about.
It is absolutely necessary that you install the complete mods for full experience. It fixes all the bugs, and improves the game's AI, graphics, audio, and just about everything else.

yeah, so none of that stuff really appeals to me. :\
A more accurate FPS experience is just another FPS to me. I like Borderlands simply because it adds other non-traditional FPS elements.
To me, a more realistic FPS doesn't make it innovative, just a better FPS.
Of course, I never play Fallout in FPS--I always pull out to 3rd person. That, alone, is one of the things that I put it above any other FPS type game, heh.

SS3, you can do first or third person.

WEll, in for all Stalker games, the Sherlock Holmes pack and Defense Grid + DLC pack.
Anyone have an opinion on Grotesque Tactics?

It's tempting, but... no. I will exercise patience. RAGE has already plummeted in price so fast since release, I assume it will only get cheaper as time goes on.
Plus, the 25GB hard drive space requirement is insane. My "tiny" 500GB hard drive is already filled to the brim with Steam games.
Ummm, actually there are quite a few new games that get limited time sales on Steam and then thats it. You pay full price for a long time afterwards.
Its kinda clunky turn based combat, but the funny/sexy game world makes up for it, both 1 and 2.
Hmm, leaning toward grabbing that then...funny/sexy is always good. Hell, Orcs Must Die would be fun just for the wisecracks..."Orcs, shaken and stirred...and stabbed" and "I almost feel sorry for the orcs, except, not really" or "Warning- may cause death".
For Mount and Blade, can you get everything good out of that series by just getting Warband?
I gotcha. STALKER isn't a traditional FPS, for all the same reasons why I have it in my RPG category on Steam and not my FPS category. It has an open world with quests and loot. But if realism isn't your thing, then I understand.

Batman AC is tempting but $25 for a game I'll play once that's not long is not something I'll be keen on doing. Probably will just play it on my PS3 and get it off Gamefly.

If F1 2011 is on the front page at $25, that means it won't go cheaper during the sale... right?
