Lots of tax rebate money, lots of great sales, and an upcoming birthday for the Mrs brought me out of my short retirement. 36 new games? Can that be right? Call it temporary insanity! March isn't quite over yet, but enough is enough. It's time to behave again.

Tomb Raider: Anniversary (X360) - New - $29.99 - This one seems to be getting hard to find in stores. I wanted it before it disappeared.

Texas Hold 'Em (X360) - $9.99 - Part of a buy one get one free sale at Target.

Worms (X360) - FREE! - The other part of the sale at Target.

Eternal Sonata (X360) - NEW - $39.99 - Mrs Deth really wanted this one so the price drop made it irresistible.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (WII) - New - $49.99 - Another one for the Mrs. She wanted something that she could play online with her family in Virginia.

Cookie & Cream (DS) - Used - Complete - $11.99 - This one is getting really hard to find. It was time to strike before it vanished.

Dementium: The Ward (DS) - Used - Complete - $19.99 - The Mrs has geeked out over this one since it was released.

Drawn to Life (DS) - NEW - $16.99 - I really wanted this one and it's still $30 at most places. The platforming isn't anything special, but it's charm is undeniable.

Sid Meier's Pirates! (XBOX) - Used - Complete - $5.99 - This is the cheapest copy of this game that I've ever seen. It was nice to take it off of my want list.

House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return (WII) - New - $29.99 - These types of games lend themselves well to the Wii. I'd pay more to track down a copy of III and a gun for the Xbox. Now I don't have to.

Ghost Squad (WII) - New - $29.99 - Light gun goodness with ninjas and bikini girls. Do I have to say more?

Shattered Union (XBOX) - Used - Complete - $13.49 - Only the second copy of this game that I've ever seen. The last one was $30 so I passed. Now the price was right.

Halo 2 (XBOX) Limited Collector's Edition - Used - Complete - $16.19 - Another game that finally dropped to an acceptible price.

Star Wars Starfighter: Special Edition (XBOX) - Used - Complete - $4.49 - Yes, we're Star Wars nerds.

Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (XBOX) - Used - Complete - $22.49 - The Mrs geeked out for this one too.

Max Payne (XBOX) - Used - Complete - $2.69 - It's like Stranglehold before John Woo got involved!

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (XBOX) - Used - Complete - $1.34 - Look at the price. Do you really need to ask?

XIII (XBOX) - Used - Complete - $3.59 - An overhyped game that didn't live up to expectations now for about 5% of the original price.

TimeSplitters 2 (XBOX) - Used - Complete - $3.59 - These games have always been fun.

Black Stone: Magic & Steel (XBOX) - Used - Complete - $8.99 - A launch title that I've not seen in stock anywhere for years and a rare Xbox rpg to boot.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (PS2) - Used - Complete - $4.49 - Another one for Mrs Deth at a cheap price.

Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword (DS) - New - $28.99 - I hate paying full price, but this nabbed me two sword styluses so it was worth it.

Poker Smash (X360) - $10 - I finally caved in and bought this. It's really fun and worth every penny.

Dai Senryaku VII: Modern Military Tactics (XBOX) - Used - Complete - $7.49 - Another game that likely won't be in stores for much longer.

Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter (XBOX) - Used - Complete - $5.39 - More Star Wars nerd stuff.

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (GC) - Used - Complete - 26.99 - Another hard to find title and a much needed GameCube game for the tally.

Sonic Adventure DX Director's Cut (GC) - Used - Complete - $10.79 - It's the non greatest hits box version that I haven't seen in ages. It was time to strike.

Wave Race: Blue Storm (GC) - Used - Complete - $5.39 - I kicked myself for not buying a $9.99 copy of this years ago. I am finally vindicated!

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (XBOX) - Used (Non GH box!) - Complete - $23.38 - The non crappy box made this a must have.

Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter (XBOX) - New - $4.99 - I've snubbed my nose at this because of it's $9.99 price tag for a while. Best Buy finally got the hint.

Malice (XBOX) - New - $4.99 - I've been curious about this one for a long time. The price was finally right.

Lost Kingdoms (GC) - Used - Complete - $6.29 - Mrs Deth once owned this and regretted selling it.

Chaos Field (GC) - Used - Complete - $8.99 - I had never heard of this title before. Being a shoot 'em up on the GC made it a must have.

BloodRayne (GC) - Used - Complete - $5.39 - Another one that Mrs Deth sold long ago. It's nice to have you back, Rayne. We missed you.

Halo 3 (X360) - Fancy helmet edition - New - $79.99 - I used to see this item everywhere. Then the price dropped and I still saw it everywhere. Then I went out and only one store in my area still had it. I got while the getting was good.

Lost in Blue 2 (DS) - New - Complete with pre order bonus item - FREE! - While already in my collection I couldn't argue with the price. This was GameSpot's way of apologizing for not sending out my Bullet Witch Sweepstakes tax forms on time.
