Depends on your source, and the condition of the game.

Buying and using single player games second hand is perfectly safe.

Online games are typically registered, and isn't a great idea to buy.

Quoted for truth, never buy online multiplayer games second hand, CD key is normally registered. sinple player games are fine though.

It is impossible to get a virus/spyware from a game using a CD. These disks are ROM.. meaning Read Only and are unable to write to the disk. Hence, no viruses.

I dont see how it could be a problem. getting a used game as long as its not a copy of the game or a burned copy rather. That I would assume we be the only way to get viruses from the source but people are tricky, tricky...
