The topic title is pretty self explanatory. I'm looking to offload some of my unwanted console games and get some PC games in return. I'm looking for relatively recent PC games released within the past year or two, and I want full retail boxed versions.
Most of what I have up for offer is mint/complete. Games that I would need something pretty good for in return are marked with stars.
I have:
Xbox
Mechassault
Full Spectrum Warrior
Tron 2.0
Ghost Recon 2*
Sphinx
Broken Sword
Xmen Legends*
Riddick
Thief 3
Deus Ex 2
Buffy
Dead or Alive 3
PS2
Chaos Legion
Resident Evil: Dead Aim
Fatal Frame
Bujingai
Guilty Gear X (sealed)
Katamari Damacy
Namco Guncon 2 light gun (completely unused)
Stretch Panic
Virtua Fighter 4(non GH)
Burnout 2
Ninja Assault
Harvest Moon: STHL
I-Ninja
Onimusha 2
Onimusha 3
Other
Silver GBA SP(has box but missing original charger. Unit is in nice shape. I think I might have a 3rd party charger to send with it, but if I can't find it, they're only $5 at Best Buy)
Metroid 2 (Gameboy)
Intelligent Qube(possibly ebay bound)
Return Fire (probably going to ebay)
Persona 2 (sealed) (probably going to ebay)
Dragon Warrior 7 (sealed)
Lunar:SSSC (has case and all the disc extras but no box, HC manual, etc)
Mega Man AC (Gamecube)
What I want (all PC):
Half Life 2
Far Cry
Call of Duty
Doom 3
World of Warcraft
Pirates
Medieval: Total War
Deus Ex 2
Thief 3
Riddick
Any other quality PC games with intense graphics.

He wants HL2, not HL1
For the record, OP, you won't find anyone trading HL2. That's because STEAM binds your account with your CD key, so even if you were to get a copy from someone on the board, it'd be as useful as a coaster.

Or you can have the key binded to another account for $10.

No need to be a prick about it.

I think the owner has to have it unbinded from their account rather than someone call regarding a key and asking for it to be switched over.. but yeah, that's the only option.. I don't think that's right. It's quite unfair of them. From what i've heard, it takes a while to have it deactivated as well.

Of course that's the way it would have to happen. But if someone is going to trade their copy, they would be the owner calling to have it unbinded. I don't know how long it takes though.

Exactly!
I wouldn't have responded in such a manner but you(scorch) felt the need to tell me what he posted which I clearly saw.
Other than that no hard feelings bro. Take care

ummm k foolish people. To trade HL2, one simply needs to trade their account and their password along with the software. its not like its gonna give them access to mindnumbing possibilities to hack you either. its simple. and as for WoW, I have it but you likely won't find anyone tradin you for somethin less than a similar account or cold hard cash. WoW is a time and money investment. I similarly have HL2, as well as a bunch of other games to trade since Gamestop shut down my trade in racket that i had goin for pc games. lemme know if anyone else wants to trade.

I have a HL2 disc, but that's it since the key is on my Steam account, and my Steam account has every Valve game on it except for Counter Strike:CZ.
Do you have any other XBOX games?
I have Far Cry PC, but I don't see anything on the list for XBOX that I would want.

Here you guys go.
CD Key Reset Process Guidelines
If you recently purchased a used copy of a game which requires activation on Steam and are encountering an error message which states that your CD Key is registered to another account, you will need to contact us to have the CD Key reset so you may use it.
Depending upon the CD Key and the associated subscriptions within Steam, this process may be completed through e-mail or it may require mailing the physical CD Key in for review.
Note: We cannot reset CD Keys which have been disabled for violations of the Steam Subscriber Agreement and/or End User License Agreement or banned by VAC for cheating infractions.
If you may have already activated your CD Key on Steam but do not recall the login information for the account your CD Key is registered to, please contact us and provide the following information:
* A scan or digital photo of the CD Key
* Any Steam account usernames you may have used
* Any contact e-mail addresses you may have used
Sierra Half-Life, Counter-Strike, and Blue Shift CD Keys
Sierra Half-Life, Counter-Strike, and Blue Shift CD Keys will be printed in the following format:
#### - ##### - ####
If your CD Key does not match the pattern (4 numbers - 5 numbers - 4 numbers), please skip down to the "All Other Valve CD Keys" section)
If your CD Key matches this pattern and you are certain that you have not registered it over Steam in the past, please mail the following items to us for review:
* The original printed CD Key - no copies, photos or scans of the CD Key will be accepted. Please send only the CD Key - do not send the game box or game CDs.
* A completed copy of the CD Key Reset Form (this form is linked at the bottom of this page as cdkeyresetform.doc) – you do not need to complete any fields which you do not have the information to complete.
* A photocopy of your receipt for the purchase of the game if the game was purchased within the last 90 days (please circle the game title on the photocopy if there are multiple items on the receipt)
* If you do not have a copy of your receipt for the recent purchase of the game, please include a money order or bank cashier check for $10.00 USD (ten dollars in United States funds) to pay the CD Key Reset Service Charge
Please print out the completed CD Key Reset Form (do not print out an incomplete copy and fill in the fields by hand). Specify the use of any numbers in the names or email accounts. For instance, "B0B" has the number zero in it; you would need to point this out to us.
Package and send the requested materials to:
CD Key Reset
Valve Corporation
PO Box 1688
Bellevue, WA 98009
USA
Your CD Key will be sent back to you via US Mail once it has been reset. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for the materials to be mailed back.
Note: You do not need to wait to receive your CD Key from us to make use of the subscription on your Steam account – you will be sent an e-mail regarding the status of your CD Key reset request when your request is received and processed.
All Other Valve CD Keys
If you have a CD Key which does not fit the #### - ##### - #### pattern, please e-mail us with the following materials:
* A scan or digital photo of the CD Key
