    Stopped by the local GameStop yesterday and was surprised to see what they had in the buy-one, get-two free, bargain bin. I grabbed Half-Life 2, Far Cry, and SWAT 4 for $30. These older games run smoothly with my 200M. I am impressed with the graphics of Half-Life 2 on the 200M. Half-Life 2 is still the best-looking game I have ever played, Killzone is a close second. Well, I'm ready for summer!! Did I get a steal or what?!

    Oh, and that Half-Life 2, came with two CD-keys. GameStop messed up repackaging this thing! The keys unlocked Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, Counter-Strike Source, Half-Life, Half-Life: Blue Shift, Opposing Force, Counter-Strike, Deathmatch Classic, Day of Defeat, Ricochet, and Team Fortress Classic. This really was a find!

    It seems that I have offended nathanhuth by adding another bargain bin find to his post..on older games? Excuss me!

    Fine, I deleted the post. If you consider that “hijacking” by adding content then so be it.

    No, I won’t give YOU a negative Rep.
