None. Pretty much owned everything I was already interested in with the aid of numerous past sales over the past 18 months before Christmas 2012, including 2011's generous Christmas sale.

And most of the releases this year have been of marginal interest to me; a lot of stuff I already owned on www.dotemu.com , and none of the "new" games, unfortunately. It's great to own Tomb Raider and Thief tweaked and DRM-free, however.

Here's hoping that some of the copious remaining EA backlog will hit the billboards in 2013. The expansion packs for SMAC and WC being added was the best thing I'd read on the front page in months.
Didn't buy anything from GOG's holiday sale this year. I think this is the first time they've had one that I didn't end up buying something. Just wasn't into the way they bundled games up, so I ended up buying more stuff from other digital download services instead.

MaridAudran: The expansion packs for SMAC and WC being added was the best thing I'd read on the front page in months.
+1'd for this. I feel like GOG could have done more to publicize this / get the word out, as these are what many people wanted. (Would it be a stretch to say thousands of people, considering that Alpha Centauri has probably sold at least 30-40,000 copies? This is based on months-old sales data.)

I love the team, but sometimes I wonder what the staff/marketing is thinking. "HEY GUYS, CHECK OUT THESE TWO NEW INDIE RELEASES!!! Oh, and here are some EA expansions." ;-)
I would of bought some games if they didn't do the bundles.

Even 60% off individual would of had be buying some games.
I bought six games, only one in the bundles:

ArmA 2 - $14.99
Anachronox (to finish off Steam/Cyberpunk bundle) - $1.49
LoK: Blood Omen 2 - $2.99
Broken Sword 4 - $4.99
Prince of Persia (2008) - $4.99
Psychonauts - $4.99

Total: $34.44

These were the last five games on my wishlist, plus Anachronox which I bought because it looked like a pretty good game and it was only $1.49 since I owned the Thief and Deus Ex games.

I also gifted a friend Operation Flashpoint (aka ArmA: Cold War Assault) because he was sad his computer can't run ArmA 2 and it's just awesome fun...
I thought I wasn't going to spend much during the sale but thankfully I got some funds to make a few more purchases.

Bullfrog Bundle (was only missing the Populous games)
City Builder Bundle
Chronicles of Riddick
Dangerous Dave Pack
Duke Nukem 1+2
Halloween Bundle (for GK 3, Phantasmagoria 1-2)
Hostile Waters
King of Dragon Pass
Medal of Honor
Might and Magic bundle (was only missing Heroes V, M&M IX, Crusaders)
Santa Snapped bundle
Shadow Warrior

So I won't be buying anything from GOG for at least a month, unless they bring something I REALLY want. :)
10 individual games (no bundles):

The Real Texas
Inquisitor
Urban Chaos
Blood Omen 2
Startopia
Space Colony HD
Shadow Warrior
Medal of Honor
King of Dragon Pass
Moonbase Commander

Probably around $40ish for all.
No bundles:

Witcher 2
FTL
ArmA: Cold War Assault (already have it on disk + the download release from Bohemia Interactive, but what the hell...)
ArmA 2. Almost afraid to start this one lest it turn into an enormous time-sink.

Edit: and gifted DEFCON

hmm gog holiday purchases summed up, I'd say costly, however worth it ^_^ even tho my wallet is crying and account drained....almost. I think I spent around $100 which is alot to me, good deals tho.

Picked up all the holiday bundles except the Telltale one and D&D one because I bought them on the previous sale. I never expected to pick up the indie bundles however the price was too tempting to pass up.

I also bought the jagged alliance games since ive heard good things about the series and waiting for a sale. Other games I bought were blake stone, alien shooter, shadowgrounds, gangland, tropico reloaded, arx fatalis, gorky 17, realms of arkania 3, ishar, sanitarium, and soulbringer. There is still a good 30-40 games left on my wishlist so not too bad ^_^

Adventures, Strategy, Simulation and quite more than I wanted initially. Will keep me occupied at least 6 months
Only the whole Ultima series.
Completed the Bullfrog, Ultima & D&D bundles in addition to Grimrock, Riddick and Twitcher.
So 30ish.

To compare: I spent 3.74€ on the steam sale.
