So I have money to get a $50 game (or less). I have a PC, PS2, and Wii. Now help me out.
I'm thinking on Star Wars Galaxies or something but do you have to pay monthly? :S
EDIT: Forgot to mention I have a DS Lite.

I haven't played it yet, but if I were you I'd get Elebits. I'll probably get it myself soon.

Maybe. I have to play it first.
Valkyrie Profile 2 and Okami for the PS2 if you haven't played them - VP2 is a great RPG with an awesome battle system and Okami is the PS2s Zelda. As for the DS, go with Yoshi's Island DS as it's the best platformer in years and Final Fantasy III is a pretty good RPG.

Any PC games I should get?
No idea, I haven't played any PC games for ages - Company of Heroes is meant to be awesome though, and Oblivion definetly - the PC version is the best because of all the thousands of great user mods available.

star wars galaxies is an MMORPG, and yes, there is a $15 monthly fee. besides that, it is not a great game anymore. it was when i played it back when it first came out, but now it's just going down hill fast, and i could suggest far better MMO's if that is what you're looking to get into.

Go for it.
Right now i'm 98% on the verge to get Company of Heroes. Looks like a GREAT RTS. And it's set in WWII, and i'm a War Nut! XD
elebits ftw. it's pretty cool, like katamiari... hehe
If you like RPGs I recommend NeverwinterNights 2 I am currently playing it and well, it got me hooked fast. (and with 40+ more hours to go It will also keep my another while)
I'll second the NeverWinter Nights 2 purchase. Great game!

Just saw the trailer and it looks awesome. So is it like Oblivion? Is it an MMO? What are some details?

Ok I just finished playing Company of Heroes for that last 2 and a half hours and it's truly an awesome game. You're gonna need a GOOD pc to run it. I'm considering about getting Dawn of War because of this game since I've heard they're similar. I've got the Collectors Edition which comes with an Interactive Bonus DVD, an Authentic D-Day Map, Vehicle ID Quiz Cards, and a Field Survival Guide. So worth the extra $10 :D.
Only if relic were to team up with Ensemble Studios to make like the best RTS ever :D

Well NWN2 is more like a single player game then multiplayer, though there are already dozens of playermade modules available and you can play it in the Dungeonsmasters mode where one of your friends "controls" NPCs and events while other control their player characters.
The rules are based on D&D 3.5, but this mainly is interesting only for magic spells, races and such, everybody who is remotely familiar with a D20 style game should handle it well enough.
So far I can say that the campaign is really good, I am just half throuhg the game now and I can't stand the tiem I am away from my computer. But be aware if you can't cope with a game that will well last 70-80 hours you shouldn't really consider it. I heard some folks say the starzt was a little slow, but coompared to the one of, for example, SW KotoR (which really let you spend hours and hours on the first 'level') it's not.
All in all a straight forward RPG. With quite some action battles in it, though I personally wish for turn based combat sometimes, just to have a little better way of ifluencing your party in combat.

My Pc games - Xfire - NRG (scorelesscoasts) (http://www.xfire.com/profile/scorelesscoasts)
I havent been playing cause my comp ain't working, i'll explain when I get it back.
Favor genre - FPS :)
A "must get" game is such an elusive target.
While I'm a poor choice for console comments, I'm aware that the Brain Age game for the DS is a surprisingly addictive indulgence though. It's unlike anything you will have played.
You already have Company of Heroes, so my saying even Les the RTS hater liked it says a lot.
On PC my only real game of choice currently is Civ IV. But even that can be boring you vs the AI all the time. It's only great against other humans.
You can pick them up cheap and hav hours of gaming fun. :smoke:
