Steam is having their annual summer sale: http://store.steampowered.com/ (the sale has been going on for about 3-4 days)
 
Games are practically dirt cheap......a lot under $5 and $10.......but are very good ones. (The sale is almost like a audio plugin group buy, but ALL vendors are included.) 
I know a lot of the CH'ers might not be into gaming, but if you were ever inclined to.......this would be the time to buy!!
 
I totally enjoy gaming and bought some of the best reviewed/rated games I've been wanting to get for some time (mostly First person shooting (FPS) games):
Skyrim - Legendary Edition
XCOM bundle
Insurgancy
Dungeon Defenders
Sleeping Dogs
Metro LL + DLC
Brothers - A tale of two sons
Borderland2 -Game of the Year
 
Of course, now I'm set for the next 5 years or so.....

I'm an expiring gamer.  Does that count?

I should probably concentrate on getting a PC that's fast enough to run X3 before I worry about gaming.  Thanks for the head's up anyway.

I don't even know most of those titles... *Sigh*
 
Wish I had time to play again!

Most of those titles are about 4-5 years old.......I read the reviews on them on Metacritic as well as follow a PC Gaming forum where a lot of users give their input (some are real hardcore gamers).
Some of these games do require you to have a decent video card, about 8 GB RAM, and at least an i5 processor....especially the more graphic intense games, but a LOT of them can be played on off the shelf PC's.....each game does show the requirements before you purchase.
 
Time is not on my side either, but the game is in my account and I can play whenever I'm able to.......(I only buy if the game is really good and if there's huge discount).

I've got an i5 with 12 GB of RAM, but the game that interested me (and it's only on sale for three more hours) was the F1 2013 one.  Unfortunately, my racing game setup is still on XP Pro to play the older games.  I need to update my ($600 TSW) controller to USB before I can use a higher OS...  Oh well, someday!
