I am thinking about perhaps purchasing some of the following items. Please, feel free to share your thoughts, opinions, and advice on these options. I have been saving my money for quite some time now, and currently have about $65. Here are the items I am considering buying and their prices (please note that some of the stuff would cancel each other out; for example, I wouldn't get AvP 2 if I also decided to get AvP 2 gold]). Which do you think I should get (I don't [generally; I did so once or twice, like when I purchased Command & Conquer: Sole Survivor, but that was just because nobody was selling it new [and I had waited several months to see if someone would, but nobody did so I just decided to buy it used, like new]) buy used computer games online, so all prices are new)?

Even if it's not done by Relic, Homeworld: Cataclysm was still fun.

I personally like Deadlock and deadlock 2...

Command & Conquer has a decade collection out. Don't remember the price but it has all the games from the first 10 years on 1 DVDROM.

Spore is a good game but the only downfall is it requires a constant internet connection.

You might also consider StarCraft....They have a game pack out for about 20 I think. I still got all the old maps from online with it.

Missed C&C on the list. Great game, Red alert for its zaniness and C&C for its ongoing story.

Agree with the others about Homeworld. Probably the best space strategy game I've ever played.

Apart from that, I'd say Neverwinter Nights (which I haven't completed yet - had it for well over a year) and Lord of the Rings Online.

The latter is brilliant - and there is a free trial available if you want to get to grips with it. Plus you needn't worry about Moria yet, so you only need that one:)
