After the success of the DVD and CD threads in Off topic and the Finds thread in Retro I thought it was time to have one dealing with modern gaming.

For me it was King Kong, Kameo and RR 6 for the 360, gotta love buy 2 get 1 deals.

I should have added I got it for 30 Canadian.

Rainbow Six: Vegas (360) at Best Buy today for $35. Don't like paying that much for new games but I loved the demo so much I had to get it.

It's on sale this week for $39.99. Used the $5 Off coupon that comes with the Gamer Gift Card to get it for $35.

On Jan 4th I bought my self a birthday gift with my Christmas money. I've always wanted to play Quake 4 (360) and the fact that a complete copy of Quake 2 comes with it kinda seals the deal.

What is the gamer gift card?

It's basically a regular Best Buy gift card that they sell in-store but it comes with a coupon that gives you $5 off any game priced $19.99 and up. So whenever there is a game at BB you wanna get, just grab the gift card and put $5 or whatever you want on it just so you can get the coupon. Works on accessories and PC software too.

I'm not sure where I should post buys for the GameCube (and PS2 and original Xbox). Some consider them older systems now (and a few are indeed about to die off) but as long as there are still new games being made for them, I'm thinking it's okay to list them here.

I've recently ordered some GameCube games...3 arrived yesterday and one more today. The four...

Go! Go! Hypergrind
Red Faction II
Dark Summit
1080 Avalanche

As I said in another thread, Dark Summit was actually free. The guy I bought Red Faction II just sent it along as a no-cost bonus. I wasn't expecting it and was quite surprised. And Red Faction II was pretty cheap as it was.

I finally bought that a few weeks ago on a whim, and it made for a pretty good impulse buy. The last modern game I bought was Twilight Princess for the GC, which I still haven't played.

DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou and Guitar Hero, both for the PS2...and they're both just friggin' GREAT. It's been quite a while since I enjoyed any game as much as I did with these two.

I bought Perfect Dark Zero, Rumble Roses XX, Amped 3, Enchanted Arms, and Quake 4 all on Boxing Day.

I believe the last recent game I bought was Sega Classics Collection. I've heard many people bash this collection, but I thought it was great. I loved the updated versions of Outrun, Virtua Racing, and Golden Axe. The other games weren't really greatly improved in my eyes, but it was well worth the $10 I spent on it.

I expect to buy many Playstation 2 games in the coming months. Can't wait to start bargian bin diving :).

I bought Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the GC the day it came out, and a few days ago I bought Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. Both are quite awesome.

Today:

Madden NFL 07 Hall of Fame Edition (360)
Super Swing Golf (Wii)
NHL 2K7 (PS3)
Blazing Angels (PS3)

Madden dropped down to $49.99; Super Swing is on sale for $39.99 at Best Buy; the two PS3 games netted me a $10 gift card from Best Buy, which I used on the other games.

FYI, according to Cheapassgamer.com LINK (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122949), lots of EA titles have dropped in price. My BB verified these drops. Besides Madden, Battlefield 2 and Fight Night 3 were $29.99 for the 360.

Guys we've got a 'Finds' thread in Classic Gaming. That thread covers any finds/purchases that one wishes to tell the community about. It's just located in classic due to DP's big draw being 'Classic' gaming. I'm going to lock this one and let you all know that its just fine to post your new purchases in there as well.
