Stores can be dangerous places to visit.
As different people have different kinds of dangerous stores to visit, so do I.
For instance, my family finds book stores a little dangerous, especially if they happen to carry books on topics we're interested in.
Another example would be my dad and I, as we find writing implement stores a little on the dangerous side.
(once I purchased a Zebra F-301 Compact pen, and I now keep it in my pocket so I'm never without one. And this after I have at least two pencil boxes full of pens and pencils!)
My brother and I find computer game stores a touch dangerous, especially when there's something we want for a really good price.
(in my case: Team Fortress 2 and Portal for $9.99 each, LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for $19.99, any Myst game I don't have for $9.99 or so, and so on)
In this particular instance, I wandered into a GameStop store looking for nothing in particular save for anything interesting for the PC.
(we don't have any modern consoles, so that rather severely limits my range of options)
A while ago, my brother had bought a copy of the original LEGO Star Wars I game, and I got to play it a little bit with him and rather enjoyed it, hence why I bought myself a copy of LEGO Star Wars II.
This time, I found a copy of LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga for $19.99, which was a pretty good price to my mind (especially as it was the first time I ever saw it and had enjoyed the other instalments as well), plus the graphics looked much improved even over The Original Trilogy.
So now that I've played it about 30% of the way through (yes, it tells you how done you are), I have to say that yes, it is a little different, but it's (usually) a rather enjoyable different.
(the only thing that's more annoying is trying to find the Invincibility brick. I can't really play well enough to leave Invincibility off, so I have to find it first)
