I just got the Brood War expansion for Starcraft (in a charity shop for £1.95)
I really must transfer my save games from my old machine and complete the last couple of Protoss missions on the original now.

Total War: Eras
The American release, it would appear, for some reason, despite it having been bought from a store in Wales. It also has a seriously knackered box, but the contents inside are new, and it only cost me £5.95 as a result. |

Picked this up:
So old it's not even a DVD-ROM it's an old PS2 CD-ROM. I've never come across one of these before. This time it's blue instead of the old PS1 black style CDs. Great 2D action, I figure I beat Alien Wars on the SNES it's time for a new challenge... man did I ask for it.

A friend recently gathered some "virtual money"/discounts (or whatever it's called) he was willing to share, so I gladly took the offer Paid about 30€.

Nice!
Am I the only one who hates the "Games for Windows" frame on top of boxes?

No, you're not alone, it really ruins some nice boxes. And I can't say that i'm all to hyped up about this "Games for Windows"-thing either. Xbox-live for PC for example..

I still got that game. I couldn't get it to run on Windows XP, on my new PC though, so I ended up playing it on my "old" Windows 98 űberbox. Did you get the original manual with this game? I was hunting for mine to prove something on wikipedia, but I couldn't find it I'm certain there is a message in the manual from the creator about the violence and controversy around the game, but since I can't find the manual I can't prove it . It seems like all those manual archives online don't have a copy of this manual either...

I took a leaf out of step's book, and bought Republic: The Revolution in a charity shop for 99p. I tend not to like buying video games second hand, but I made an exception because this was an original release version (not budget), and was cheap.

Unique concept (I usually like playing games that try to give you something different than your ordinary strategy - adventure - sim game), nice graphics, interesting plot with different paths to follow and absolutely brilliant music score. It's a shame there hasn't been any sequel or another game similar to this, until now. |

Halo 2
The only reason I bought this game was because I got in an argument with one of my friends over whether or not it had good graphics. He thought it was a great game artistically, I thought it was a crappy game technically, and he insisted I play it before judging it. I was right.

I just flipped through it but I didn't see anything in the manual at all. The bonus footage on the disc doesn't have anything about it either.

It's not a purchase, but my copy of the Limited Edition of BioShock arrived today.
And I bought Company of Heroes (With Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War) a couple of days ago, and have Resident Evil 4 coming in the post. |

I remember the manual I had, had a so called "message from the creator" on the first page(page 1 or 2). It could be that it was a re-release or something... or that they only released the manual with this message in the countries where it was about to get baned, but ah well. Thanks for looking still
