I'm still pleased with my 640mb 8800GTS. It's one of the better computer related purchases I've made. I bought it in January 2007 for $330, and I don't think I've ever had a video card hold up so well over time. I can max out, or come pretty close to maxing out every game at 1680x1050, except Crysis.

It will probably be at least another year before I seriously consider getting a new video card. As the TC stated, the 9 and 200 series just aren't enough of an improvement over the 8 series to make them worthwhile for me.

Oh, and if your wondering why MGS is there it's because its my favourite game series of all time, all I got to say is Hideo Kojima is a genius and the series is just phenominal.

You lost any credibility you might have had with that statement.

For PC games? Not much.

I only bought Sins of a Solar Empire and Left 4 Dead. So around $90 total. The only other game I would have bought was Mass Effect, but EA decided to infest it with DRM. I still played it, I just didn't buy it if you know what I mean...

I didn't buy much for the consoles either, mostly just rented. I bought GTA4 and Gears 2, both of which were rather meh IMHO, and I ended up selling them.

I thought this was a rather weak year for gaming in general.
