I have picked CS:GO. Unfortunately I missed that >75% sale last spring but at least i got some cents off compared to gift trade and made a "pure Linux purchase" (wonder if that is counted in any way).

Is that sale supposedto be a teaser, or is winter coming early to Valve?

Thanksgiving sale should not hinder them to do a decent winter/christmas sale nevertheless. :)

I picked "The Fall". Didn't feel sure enough for full price.

I managed to find a few that I wanted

Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek

I think I'll go with:

Especially Deadfall Adventures looks like another AAA with good quality port for GNU/Linux. Not sure about the Warlock though, reviews don't seem to be so good.

Truth. :)

Still, there are of course games I'd additionally like to have. Nothing absolutely vital though. Eh, there's always another time.:)

I'd buy Planetary Annihilation for 66% off,
but since it does not come with a single campaign,
it's of no value for me, unfortunately.

Yes, I play multiplayer games rarely (almost never).

PA has Galactic Conquest which is something along the lines of a singleplayer campaign (without much of a story tho ;))

I'm playing through Deadfall now.
It's an ok first-person exploration game with some shooting and puzzles. Massive load times. If you're planning on playing with a gamepad, check the Steam discussion forums before buying - the control scheme is a bit quirky and buggy (however, I've been able to work around everything so far).

I have over 100 Linux games on my wishlist. Will probably buy a few games that I've been on the fence about to add to my ever increasing backlog.

If you're broke like me BattleBlock Theater is 90% off at $1.49, has "Overwhelmingly Positive" and a meta score of 85. I also picked up Chuck's Challenge 3D which looks fun for 75% off too at $0.74, but I'm not sure how good it is yet.

Both have trading cards, full controller support and achievements if any of those are important to you. Chuck's Challenge doesn't list Steam Cloud support, however.
