My most recent non-bb game is X-Com. Can't get enough of it at the moment. Really cutting in to my BB time...

That Enemy Within add-on for XCOM was excellent - lots more content.

oh, good - might get the DLC then.
The first (new) Xxom was so short that it seemed like a trailer....

They've worked out that people are happy to pay 5 bucks, 10 bucks for a game that is a few years old and no longer likely to interest them at a more inflated price - especially under the guise of a discount/sale.

I regularly get the humble bundles. I just noticed I have 166 games in my Steam account. I expect I will never play probably 100 of them, probably closer to 140.

XCOM:EU has a couple DLC, not worth the bother.
XCOM:EW is the expansion to EU, and adds a lot of new content.
Both are really great, and short? I don't know about short pythrr, but maybe compared to the original it plays faster. Then again you can enable 2nd wave options, and or use the Long War mod to really make the game longer/play differently.
I've been playing a lot of Might and Magic Duel of Champions, which is their CCG. It's an excellent CCG, but there are some gripes about the economy, though I don't really have any issues with it.
If you're interested in CCGs I'd say check it out, but, they are adding in player referrals at the end of the month, so if you wait until then, and find someone to refer you (like me), you'll start with a full set of starter decks (and some other boosters I think) instead of just starting with one.

Xcom: EU was great, yes. More recently, it was Crusader kings 2 for me, and my latest non-BB addiction was Kerbal Space Program: I've never had a game speak more to my inner nerd. =D
