Pillars of Eternity
Shadowrun: Hong Kong
Frozen Synapse + Red DLC
Starship Titanic

I'm hoping to see some new releases during the sale, maybe a new publisher.
Shovel Knight of course.

It was on sale finally so I had to buy it.
I miss insomnia sale.
For now:

Revenant
Lumino City
Indiana Jones® and the Emperor's Tomb™
Outlaws + A Handful of Missions
Afterlife
Star Wars™: Rebel Assault 1 + 2
Venom. Codename: Outbreak
Starship Titanic

I almost bought Shovel Knight, but I am still undecided. All the praise makes it sound like GOTY material, yet when I check the game trailer, I am unconvinced I'd like the game. Looks like a generic 2D platformer game to me, not sure if I want to use $10 for one... I didn't have a Nintendo as a kid, so "metroidvanias" or ducktales or such don't make me excited.

The trailer has some kickass music though, is that music in the game itself, and is rest of the music as good?

There are some others I am also eyeing, but waiting for now...

I don't own Shovel Knight, but after trying it out at a friend's, I can tell you what elevates this game above many indie platformers, in my opinion: the tight controls. Sure, the art, the music, the characters are engaging, but most of all the game just feels right when you play it.
I didn't have an NES either, so the nostalgia effect is lost on me too. ;-)

kokosabre: I hope they put Shadowrun Returns on sale since no way in hell to risk money on mystery game.
Unfortunately I bring bad news.

It's on the mystery games list.
So since "these games are not part of the regular sale lineup" it shouldn't appear.

Cant remember if anyone pointed this out lately

http://virt.bandcamp.com/

run by the composer of the music from that and a few other games. Pay what you want!! :D (i personally found the main track awesome and a few other pieces of work equally as good).
Many thanks for the detailed reply 011284mm, it is appreciated. I ended up just purchasing JK Academy and Battlefront 2.

Thanks again!
Bought 2 of the Lucas art bundles so far and got Leisure suit Larry reloaded as my mystery game. Once bitten. Won't be wasting cash on mystery games again when I'm getting crap in return.
My haul from random games is:

Space Colony HD
Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded
Agarest: Generations of War
Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut
King's Bounty: Crossworlds GOTY
Triple Town
Massive Assault

Yay, a waifu game, and now a Larry 1 remake to complete the collection. Never seen Triple Town, will check it out.
Frozen Synapse + Red
Titan Souls Special Edition
Star Wars Rebel Assault 1 + 2

Supreme Ruler 2010

Anna's Quest
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers – 20th Anniversary Edition

Definitely fared well with the mystery games. Breach and Clear was the last one I got, and since it was a duplicate, it'll probably be the last one I get.

Mystery Games 12/7
Breach and Clear Deadline
Octodad: Deadliest Catch
Moebius: Empire Rising
Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Starts Today
Gothic 3 (already owned)

Another pretty good round of mystery games.

I got Anachronox, World of Goo, and Her Story. I was debating getting Shovel Knight, but I'd rather get it for my 3ds or Wii U
