First, depression sucks. A family member is suffering from it, and it seems to suck all happiness out of the season. Now on to the happiness...

I received two games for Christmas

Metroid Prime Trilogy

New Super Mario Brothers Wii

three DVDs, and a bunch of cash. Now, the question is what to spend the cash on. So far, I'm thinking of picking up a few lower-priced games that interest me, such as Cursed Mountain, Call of Duty: World at War, and the like.

STEAM is also having a break-my-wallet sale, and I've picked up a few more games through that. I am proud to say that I've picked the low-hanging fruit; each game was $6 or less. So I now own

Deus Ex: Invisible War

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky

Space Siege

and with the cash I bought

Cursed Mountain

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

Call of Duty: World at War

Kickass
