Thread Starter 
My best game that I bought for $5 was Crysis, Mafia 2, F.e.a.r. pack$15 for like 3 games or something, Mass Effect 2, Need for speed shift, Portal(free), and that's it I think.

I think Crysis still sells for $5 on amazon so grab that if you feel like playing it again.

X-Com Apocalypse, best $1.99 ever spent on a game!

It’s not for everyone that’s for sure.

Bioshock 1 & 2, L.A. Noire, Fallout 3 GOTY, Borderlands, Dirt 2. All from steam sales. I see Portal 2 is only $6.79 on steam today so I might pick that up also.
