Did I get a good deal?

[WarLocke]

I was out buying groceries earlier (man, you can't beat 2-liter sodas for $0.75) when I decided to swing by the local Wal-Mart and see what games they had cheap, since I'm nearly done with Deus Ex and don't really want to spend alot of cash on other games with KOTOR around the corner.

And yes, I would have gone to a "real" comp shop if the nearest one wasn't 30 miles away and across state lines. <_<

It amused me how many MMORPGs Wally World stocked (EVE, Planetside, SWG, Sims Online, Shadowbane), but I will never again fall into that trap. I also passed up GTA3, Vice City, Hitman 2, and a Half-Life collector's edition thingy (had HL, Opposing Force, Team Fortress Classic, Counter-Strike, and something else) because they were still big-ticket items and I wasn't going to spend that much dough.

That left me with four $10 options: Hitman (might as well get #2 instead), Gladiators of Rome (which I've seen reviewed on Extended Play, looked very bad), Seige of Avalon (never heard of it, looked like a bad Diablo clone), and Majesty Gold (Majesty & Northern Expansion).

So here I am with Majesty Gold; I haven't even installed it yet. Wal-Mart has the crappy "only accepts returns for another copy of the same item" policy for computer programs now, but if all the good buzz on RBD is any indication, I won't be dissapointed. And even if I am, it was only $10 -- that's a movie ticket & drink.
