I found four or five of some recent releases in my local GameStop but declined to buy them. Each game box was tattered and had obviously been opened and retaped. Since it was after Xmas I wondered whether they had been returned which led me to wonder if the cds may also be less than perfect.
There was a bit of a line at the counter so I didn't ask a sales person, but I was wondering if the games on the floor are just for display and that they have unopened ones in the back.
Maybe it's just me, but if I'm going to pay full price for a game, I expect it to be the first person to open it.
I child-proofed my home... but they're still getting in!

You are in for a treat I'm sure Belgar. I just finished Bioshock a little while ago. Excellent! zookeeper, I'm glad you were able to get your games okay. Happy Gaming! Ana

I get all my games from Amazon.com and sometimes from Trading Post here. Amazon takes real good care of the buyer and have never been burned by a fellow/sister GBoomer. I sometimes wonder how many have handled these store games.

Belgar - thanks for the tip about "The Curse of Judas". Looks great fun. Have you tried the French-language version of Fahrenheit? You might like it.
Here's a thought - if you speak (or are learning) a foreign language, adventure games are extremely useful. I'll try one in French or Spanish every once in a while just to keep my skills up, with subtitles on and a notebook to hand for new grammar and vocabulary. This is one of the reasons I like adventure gaming - well-written and well-researched ones throw up areas of learning which you may not encounter in daily life. That's my excuse for playing them, anyway.........
My karma just ran over my dogma.........
