Hello justpicaname,
Yes the Creative Sound Audigy Blaster 2 ZS Gamers Pack is around $130 and bring 5 great games. Full versions of them. Anyways if you dont like that one, then i suggest a ($90) sound card: Creative Sound Audigy Sound Blaster 2 ZS. It doesn't bring the 5 games but its still a great card.

Stay as far away from Creative labs cards as you can. They are horrible for high quality audio.

Gof for the Turtle Beach Catalina card or the M-Audio card. Both will give you pro quality sound.

Oh, and if you're looking for multiple channel inputs, look at M-Audio's pro cards. They may exceed your $200 limit though.
