Just the Galactic Civilizations 2: Dark Avatar expansion for me.  I hadn't picked it up despite being a big fan of the game.  Now I did, and I am happy.  It makes a ton of small improvements to the overall game and is just wicked good fun to play.

Lets see, my recent stuff would be Full Spectrum Warrior (PC) and LA Rush (Xbox). My brother wanted LAR and it was only $5 at gogamer so I picked it up when I ordered FSW.

Future purchases will probably be GalCiv2 Gold next time I go out. I'd order it from Stardock, but its simply easier and cheaper for me to go buy it from Target, you know? And then I'm holding my money for Aquaria.

Especially since you're on 56K, yeah.

I bought GrimGrimoire earlier this week and I'm enjoying it.

After I finish GrimGrimoire I'm probably going to buy Valkyrie Profile 2 since I still need to play that.

Recently I've purchased Dark Forces on PC and Lumines for PSP.  Weird combo I know.  Sucks that Dark Forces doesn't play nice with XP.

Anyhow, Darwinia is a helluva find at Big Lots.

Darwinia has to be one of the most different things I've ever played...Period.

Oh, and the game comes boxed w/ a cool KEYCHAIN that looks like one of those green stick-figure sprites in the game! Hell yeah!!! :)

And yes, it's pretty good, to say the least.

From what I've played so far, Darwinia looks like one of those games that is real easy to learn, but tough to master...

You bought RE4 for the PC? Do you not have a GCN or PS2?

I remember there being a Dark Forces mod for Jedi Outcast, but I'm not sure it was ever finished. I know a demo was released and you could play through the first level, it was actually pretty well done. I'm curious if there is something like JDoom for Dark Forces, allowing for mouse look and such, I would really enjoy that.

Here it is (http://darkforces.jediknight.net/about.shtml), its actually a mod for Jedi Academy, but from what it looks like its been in the works for 5 years and its only 35% done. Screenshots look nice though.

Yeah, the screens aren't bad.  Looks pretty nice.  Dunno' if I'd rather play an update or the original, though.  I remember those old graphics and they still have their charms.  Either way, Dark Forces was badass.

The sad thing being that I've played through it on Playstation but not PC.

Anyhow I'm very tempted to go to Big Lots tomorrow and see if they have a copy of Darwinia

Bah.  I went to Big lots and the only things they had that were remotely interesting was Civ III for 6 bucks and Roller Coaster Tycoon Gold for 6 bucks.

No Darwinia to speak of.  Course I kinda figured that going in.  Their inventory isn't consistent across the company.

Just bought Mafia / Max Payne together for $5.99. I've played some of Max Payne before but never Mafia. It's not bad.
