As the title says, what are you plans for buying games?
Personally i will be getting myself my own copy of Amnesia and Eschalon Book 2 on the next payday.
Maybe Half-Life 2 - Episode 3 (AKA HL3) and Portal 2 <- My favourite not native (hope will be once) games
I could never get into Half Life 2, i have it and episode one on Steam i think, never got what the big deal was?
Dude are you joking?
Half-life is the best thing i've done played in my computer. The story (most important), gameplay, GMan, environment, whole game is fucking awesome. I even prefer this game, over gothic 1 and 2.
I honestly suggest, to start playing from first HL (with its all series, opposing force, blue shift, etc) and not only play game, feel the game!
I played the original half life....couldn't get into that much either, weird.
Spent many a day on counterstrike, team fortress etc though.
I do not like online unfinishable games :( but i play them sometimes
I'm probably gonna get hero's of Newerth. I was in the Beta and really enjoyed it.
I don't really know, I've gotten a liking for indie games and when I see an indie developer who supports Linux I tend to buy it on sight. That being said I am buying my way through gog.com, so I know that I will be buying the Unreal games I am lacking and Fallout Tactics.

I never liked HL1, it's been ages since I played it (about 10 years or so...), but I always preferred Doom2 ;)
Today is the last day of the Wupra buy 2 get 1 for free "deal" : [url="http://linuxgamingnews.org/2010/08/22/wupra-buy-two-games-get-third-for-free/"]http://linuxgamingnews.org/2010/08/22/w ... -for-free/[/url]
I would probably get a few games and hope they are in English (I never fully understand, even after those interviews I've made with him what games are in English ;) ).
I've already bought Book2 and pre ordered Amnesia long time ago, also I want to buy "One Unit Whole Blood" from GOG, I hear it runs on DOSBOX ;)
Other then that, I never plan what games I buy, a new game could come out tomorrow and I can buy it that same day.
This prevented me from ordering games from Wupra, I has never sure if the game was English, and I didn't see any options to request a specific language.
Each game has the language listed on it's page, i don't see what the problem is with that?
Don't I feel foolish now, Didn't even notice they had it listed under data sheet. Guess I might need to place an order tonight.
I've bought a few games lately namely:-
Doom3
World of goo
Darwinia
Uplink
H-craft
Eschalon book 1
Eschalon book 2
Aquaria
Gish
Lugaru
Penumbra 1
Penumbra 2
Penumbra 3
Caster
Bullet Candy Perfect
Machinarium
And yet it moves
Osmos
Defcon
Darwinia and the Eschalon series has been the best from this selection and so my next planned purchase will be book 3 when it is made. I am sure I will buy something else before it though as and when games become available.
H-craft and Caster would of been up there with my favourite purchases but Caster is too short (episode 2 not released yet), H-craft plays very nice but is lacking weaponry.
I am sure I would of enjoyed the Penumbra series but unfortunately random crashes have spoiled it for me.
My god man, i seem like a bit of a cheap skate next to you now!
That's a pretty impressive list...makes me want to go spend more money now...gah!

So I did manage to convince you to try out GOG in the end did I Maxim? I really do hope they do start shipping versions with the Linux version of Dosbox as well, as they are supposed to be considering it. That way no one would have to mess about and it would count as a Linux sale.
I have many fond memories of playing Doom 2 when I first figured out how to get PrBoom from the Fedora Repositroy, good times...

What kind of crashes are you experiencing? What is your graphics setup, and what version of Penumbra are you running?
When it crashes (not frequent to intermediately frequent) it just freezes and I have to resort to a hard reset.
Version 1.03 my laptop graphics and where the problem lies is a intel gma4500m which is unfortunately unchangeable, the laptop was not my choice and was a Christmas present from my wife. Need to break it to her at some point without upsetting her that I need a new laptop. ;)
That is quite the List, I have:
And Yet is Moves
Gish
Aquaria
Osmos
World Of Goo
Bullet Candy Perfect
Irukandji
Galcon Fusion
on the rain slick precipice of darkness Episode 1
on the rain slick precipice of darkness Episode 2
Punumbra: Overture
Vendetta Online (pay for monthly subscription)
Lugaru
Postal
Postal 2
Postal 2 Apocalypse Weekend
ET: Quake Wars
Samorost 2

Well yesterday I did buy Blood1 : One Unit Whole Blood - and even installed it.
But the sound quality sucks (It took me 10 minutes to check all the sound cards and find the only one that works, and it sucks) and the game doesn't run smoothly (it actually runs too fast).

P.S
How many Windows games I legally bought ? ONE !
Yesterday : One Unit Whole Blood
I admit that when I was a Windows user I was a huge game "pirate", but GNU/Linux cured me so much that I sometimes buy games that I almost never play afterward just to show support.
Guess I shouldn't be surprised that you have so many MaximB.
As for Windows games I have 2 its hard for me to give up Starcraft and Diablo.

And yet many Windows users still believe that, since we use a free operating system, Linux users will never buy games or any other software legitimately. There is actually a move in India at the moment where the management of IT firms and the like want to switch to Linux just to show that they are actually using legitimate software, since software piracy is practically endemic in South Asia. So if you use Windows it is naturally assumed that you pirated it.
