AD&D: Eye of the Beholder - $10, disc only in regular jewelcase. This game is the better of the two console ports of this early '90s PC dungeon crawler classic. It's a fairly simple dungeon crawler -- explore dungeon, kill monsters, hit switches, get stuff, repeat. The game is kind of fun, but the in-game map is only semi-useful as it doesn't automap, you have to find the map hidden somewhere in each floor in order for the map to appear. So, mapping yourself, or using maps from the internet, is advised. I got to floor two, and so far apart from the getting lost part it's very easy -- enemies on the first floor are no threat. Still, it's a decently good game. I will say, though, the character creation's got to be either bugged or very flawed, because this game ... lets you set your stats to anything you want, with no penalty. Want every character to have an 18 in every single stat? Go ahead, the game won't stop you. I didn't do that, but did put the stats a bit above where the random generation puts them. But uh, D&D games are supposed to have a points limit... I haven't really played this on PC, is this a SCD-only thing?

Golf Peaks - used Nintendo Gold Points for, would have been $3. This is a pretty good puzzle game worth getting.
Xtreme Club Racing - $2, on sale. This is a flawed little indie arcade-style racing game. It's kind of fun for a while, but the randomly generated tracks, controls, and graphics hold it back.
