Ordering Video Games from the UK

I'm in the U.S. and have ordered DVDs on occasion from Amazon UK. However, for some unexplained reason, they will not ship video games.

Does anyone know why this is? And better yet, does anyone know a trustworthy site they can recommend that ships PC games from the UK to the U.S.?

Thanks - I forgot about them. I actually ordered a DVD from that site once so I know they're reputable. (I wonder what's with the restriction at Amazon UK?)

amazon doesn't ship games, and that goes for every branch. I don't know the reasons.

I wanted to get Silent Hill: Homecoming, but it's only available in North America as a download through Steam. If I want an actual disc/case, I'll have to order it from the UK when it's released over there on Feb 27th.
