Just wondering where you guys buy your games from online?
I've been out of the gaming scene for a long time due to running a crappy graphics card. But my new 7800GS+ seems to love the abuse so I need some new games :lol:
Any recommendations for games as well?? I mainly play FPS

The usual places really, Play.com being one of the cheaper, and eBay for those "older" games that we know and love.

Yeah I'm on Play.com at the moment
Looking at getting:
Prey
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter
and on the 3 for £10 deal:
Starship Troopers
Broken Sword 1&2 pack
Taito Legends 2 :lol:
£40 all in sound ok to me :D

Cant go wrong with broken sword 1&2, if your into that kind of game - id try and get hold of all the old lucasarts collection (day of the tentacle, monkey island 1-3 etc)

I've not really played RPGs much, apart from the final fantasy stuff on playstation years ago.
I decided to only buy Prey today though, otherwise I'll spend too much time playing games :lol:

They arent RPG's, their point and click adventure games - big difference.

Usually http://www.play.com , occasionally http://www.dvd.co.uk or http://www.cdwow.com .
If you are into golf CDWOW are doing the new Tiger Woods 07 game for £20.49, way cheaper than the other 2 sites.

Yeah I decided against the budget games in the end :lol:
Play.com is soooo much cheaper than anywhere else for Prey and GRAW.
I was looking at Just Cause as well, looks interesting

Play.com gets my vote. I always want to find somewhere to beat it, but with eh free delivery, it always comes out on top.
My list of the best games of the past couple of years would be...
- Half Life 2 (Obviously!)
- GTA San Andreas (It's simply genius, you can keep dipping back in and having a laugh. So well made.
- Battlefield 2 (even with its billions of bugs)
- F.E.A.R (I loved every second of it .... jus download FEAR Combat to get a taste of MP for free!)
- Pro Evo 5 (may be best to wait for 6 now tho, its getting close!)
- Call Of Juarez (do NOT miss this. It's BRILLIANT i think. Maybe a tad short, but hell, most games are now.)
- Need For Speed: Most Wanted (excellent. the graphics are beautiful and it's one of my most played games of all time. I'm on my 5th career and still loving every second.)
- Tomb Raider: Ledgend (was quite surprised by how good this actually was. Not only that, but it looked astonishingly good. The controls can really mess you up, but it's one to take a look at!)
Well those are the few that come to mind.
I say that as they're the ones that i still play on a regular basis.
Oh and please, dont buy Starship troopers! :D
Edit: Oh, and just got my subscribers edition of PCGAMER this month, they gave Dark Messiah a "Must Buy" rating, so keep an eye out for that beauty! (there's a demo out for you to give a go)

Call of Juarez - i second that so much, loved that game.
Tomb Raider legend was really good too, agree'd again.
I wouldnt get Just Cause unless your into arcade games.

play.com and amazon.co.uk
Play is great - I've lost count of the number of games I've pre-ordered on there and they've cost me £18 when other places are selling 'em for £28 (online) of £35 (high street)...
Amazon I use for slightly older things that Play has sold out of. Or obscure games that no one has ever heard of. ;)

Right well so far...
Half Life 2: GOTY edition
Battlefield 2
Prey
Doom3 expansion pack
Would you believe that play.com doesn't sell FEAR ?!
Think I'll be getting it from amazon and order that new expansion pack for it as well 8)

I'm sure they did sell FEAR when it was first released... I've got a receipt around to prove it. :shock: ;)

Yeah they don't now. I tried several search terms on the site and even gave them a call about it.
Seemed strange that (in my opinion) one of the best PC games ever made was not available on their site.
Doesn't matter though, it's only £14.99 on amazon.
