OK, well I dont buy many brand new games that have just been released. Maybe 3 a year on average. But I do buy a lot of other games!
2007:
ArmA Armed Assualt (PC): I bought this game a good 7 months after it's release. It's basically a new version of Operation Flashpoint and it's really great. I have reviewed the game already if you want to see my personal opinion of the game.
Boiling Point Road To Hell (PC): A free-roaming FPS set in South America? That's what made me buy this game! Check my review for this one, it was better than I expected.
Call Of Duty 2 (PC): This is an amazing WW2 shooter. I've reviewed this game too. It's got a fantastic single-player and great multiplayer with some excellent sound and intense fire fights.
Chronicles Of Riddick Escape From Butcher Bay (PC): Definitely the bargain of the year, I got this amazing game second hand for only £1 (around $2.50)!!! It's the best movie game I have ever played with it's great gameplay, amazing graphics and quality voice acting featuring Vin Diesel himself!
Command & Conquer Red Alert Retaliation (PS1): This game is pretty rare and I was lucky to pick this up in the shop second hand. It was £15 (about $26 I think). I love Red Alert and the whole C&C series for the PC so I really like this game too. I have reviewed this game.
Crysis (PC): Ah, Crysis. This is one of the few games I bought on release. I bought it 2 days after Christmas so about a month after it came out. I love Crysis, it is the best game I bought in 2007 and you should read my review to see why!
Hitman Blood Money (PS2): My older brother got me this for Christmas. It is the only Hitman game I own but it's a really, damn good game. I love it how you can kill your target in so many ways!
Quake 4 (PC): I should've got this game on release really. I love the Quake series after all. But oh well. I've reviewed this game and I much prefer it to Doom 3. It's a simple but amazing game with great graphics, single player and multiplayer.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow Of Chernobyl (PC): I had been waiting for this game a long time and was really excited about it. I bought it a few days after it's release and I was a little dissapointed. However, it remains an excellent game with great gameplay and I have also reviewed it!
2008:
Brothers In Arms Earned In Blood (PC): I love this game. I have written a huge review on this amazing tactical WW2 game. I think it's one of the best WW2 games ever!
Elder Scrolls Oblivion (PC): I traded to get this one. I had already played it on a friends 360 but I think I actually prefer the PC version. This is one of the best games Ive played and tehre's so much to do.
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (PC): This would be a good game if it didnt crash so much on my PC. I've tried patches, updating my drivers but this game is still glitchy and buggy and shuts down my PC. Grrrr.
