Other then Breath of Death VII which I just posted about which was
good, but more of a light snack, I'm having a hard time remembering
any games in recent history I've played that I really enjoyed.  Money
is an issue, and anything I can buy on steam is a plus.

My recent history...

Cthulhu Saves the World - not sure yet, quit because too similar to
BODVII am not quite ready for that again.

BoDVII good, not great, but short.

Evil Genius - meh.  2nd attempt to play, didn't get very far I think,
1st time I didn't make it past the tutorial.

The Witcher - meh.  2nd attempt, did finish it this time now that
saves/transitions are down to about 10-30 seconds instead of 2-5
minutes of last time.  Just didn't feel it, combat too boring or
something.

Magicka - actually pretty good (I see it's currently $2.49 on steam)
more of an action/adventure game.

GTA IV - meh. just lost what I'd liked about the previous ones
somehow, or perhaps I've played too many before.

Star Wars: The Old Republic - Not bad, has elements that remind me in
a good way of KotR but I found trying to play an MMO extremely
frustrating since I may have to leave the game at any moment.  Not
awesome though either.  I suppose I can go back and be super adamant
to only solo, but seems a huge money dump if I'm playing just solo.  I
know I can play for free, but my experience of one day doing that was
enough to dissuade me.

Planetside 2 - only played this because of a friend, played for 2
hours, I think, but am not sure I only managed to kill one friendly
and no enemies.  this one gets a wtf?! hell no.

Borderlands 2 - o.k. Just not as good as BL1.  Of course I didn't
really get into BL1 until I finally discovered Lillith then got all
the DLCs.

Diablo III - not bad, just don't like the whole MMOish market thing -
seemed like I spent almost as much time there as playing, and the fact
you are best off in a pair, or perhaps alone, 4 person parties suck.

World of Tanks - actually the best thing I can remember in some time,
but it's an MMO, and I found the early stuff more fun, and eventually
repetitive.

Rage - o.k. waaay too short for the money.

Gold Box Pool of Radiance - doesn't really stand up to time, couldn't
bring myself to finish it, and too tempting to cheat by giving all
your characters 18s in everything.

Dragon Age - good game, some very memorable moments, having some form
of spell caster was mandatory and you had to put up with very limited
choices for that especially early.  Still lacking something to make it
great.  Not great enough to want to play the sequel.

I'm really trying to think of the last game I played I thought was
really awesome, and I just can't.  Probably World of Tanks or Fallout
3, but I don't know that even they qualify.
