Yosumin is some good stuff. I recommend grabbing it while it's on sale as games from the major Japanese publishers never seem to become quite as cheap as their western counterparts.

Alpha Protocol is $2 on Steam right now. From what I've played it's a very heavy on shooting 3rd person action game/RPG. I'm a sucker for spy stories so I've enjoyed playing it so far despite some cheap deaths. Just know that no matter what, it is nigh impossible to be completely stealthy and you will have to get into big firefights, but it has an open ended nature that could be very interesting depending on how much your character interactions really can change.
I just got Alpha Protocol and the Dreamcast Collection. The only game in that pack that couldn't care less about was Pro Bass fishing, but the rest are cool.
Now all I need is a dreamcast controller to USB adapter.

If you do get Frozen Synapse, know that the first mission is hard as balls. They really just throw you to the wolves, but after that one mission the game begins to follow a true difficulty curve. I have played the first 6 or 7 solo missions.
I don't have a great understanding of how the multiplayer works, but I want to say that it is asynchronous? It can take quite a while to plot out a move so this would make a ton of sense. If this is the case, there's no reason to wait. Let's get a game going.
Oh wait, is that Four Swords DS download out TODAY!?
And free until February! No complaints here. Looks like you can play single player and control 2 heroes, or play via DS Wireless Play with up to four peoples.
I don't think I'm even buying any games this holiday sale. I seriously stocked up over the past two sales and now have a large backlog in PC gaming that rivals my console backlogs. I say this now. My wallet will be weak. Last sale I went a bit overboard because a writing advance landed in my paypal account right as it started. (writing is not my actual profession, so this money is typically my "fun" budget).

My PC backlog is like 150 games.. Unless one of the game of the year editions comes out suddenly really cheap (Like Fallout 3: New Vegas or Dragon Age II) I'll probably attempt not to buy anything.... Though... we know how that works out.
