Oh yeah, and be sure to check out GameTrailers.com whenever you want to see a relatively new game (or game you’re waiting for to come out) in action.

I will check out all the sites recommended here.

Also, I bought the Logitech drive force wheel at Gateway’s site. $75 and change, including tax and S&H.

Does the deal sound ok to you guys?

SSX  
SSX Tricky  
SSX3

Very fun games. You can get SSX for $10, Tricky for $20 – both eminently worth it.

I second (or third or fourth) the recommendation for FFX and Kingdom Hearts.

I also really liked Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance – rather like Gauntlet meets D&D.

$75 for a Logitech wheel sounds good to me 🙂 .
