Gogamer.com is pretty good, with a couple of caveats. Their $1.99 cheap shipping is relatively slow (media mail), so if you want the game within a week go for the standard $5.99 shipping. Also, they do sell quite a few import versions of games (even games that also have regular US releases), so be sure to read the item description carefully in case that is important to you one way or the other. I specifically bought the uncensored import version of Vietcong from Gogamer.com instead of the censored US version, but other than situations like that where the content is different, I like just having the regular US release to avoid later confusion with patches, etc.
I've also ordered from ebgames.com, gamestop.com, and amazon.com (esp. nice if you can get the free shipping) fairly recently and have never had a problem. For older/harder to find games, I will also check ebay.com and half.com, but I don't bid/buy unless I am very comfortable with the item description and the seller's feedback. Newegg.com is a great retailer and has some games, but I think their selection is fairly limited.

Agree with the consensus. GoGamer is the bomb, but I cherry pick Amazon and EBGames as well.

Generally Gogamer is the best online. Generally good prices, fast service and it also offers some imports (although people should be aware that sometimes the major games will be non-US versions. eg, I got a European version of Pirates!, and it apparently didn't have the map that comes with the game). It's selection isn't the widest, though (eg, Supreme Ruler 2010 isn't available).
I would like to find a good place that sells games to the US from Europe. IThere was a good online store that used to do so (the name eliudes me at the moment) but it closed.

At first glance, this site appears to ship overseas. You might wanna check it out. I have bought a grand total of one game from them, for delivery to the UK, but there were no problems.Nade wrote:I would like to find a good place that sells games to the US from Europe.
