I bought Fallout:NV. I heard it was the better of the 2 newer Fallouts, and I probably won't play both.
Bastion = awesome. I bought it when it was on sale a few months ago and am kicking myself for not picking up the soundtrack. I had the soundtrack in my cart at 75% off yesterday, got distracted, and now the flash sale is gone.
Batman: Arkham Asylum is another fantastic game. A Zelda-style brawler that I actually attempted to complete 100%, even after the main campaign was done. Waiting for Arkham City to go on sale...
Borderlands is a must-have if the idea of mixing action RPG's & FPS's appeals to you. The expansions are hit and miss (Knoxx is the best, IIRC) but overall there is much fun to be had. Great fun at LAN parties also.
Just Cause 2 is a must-buy if/when it comes up on sale. It's a 3-rd person action game where you have to save a group of islands from a corrupt oil corporation that is trying to blah blah blah who cares. The real goal of the game is to hijack an airplane, fly it into the nearest oil tank, parachute out right before impact and see how big of an explosion you can cause. Side projects include planting as many triggered explosives as possible and trigger them all at once just to see the beautiful explosives, tie enemies to explosive cannisters/shoot the cannisters/watch the enemies fly into space, and various other explosive-related activities. It's basically a sandbox for pyromaniacs. There are some great mods for the game also, and it's one of those rare games where you'll actually have MORE fun making yourself invincible. Too much fun. I guess there's actually a multiplayer mod out now.
