Game asset packages - all game assets are read only and need to be compressed and nowadays with SSD's you don't want duplication.

Just to clarify that last statement (and something to think about) with HDD's you want duplicate assets so that you don't cause seeks which are VERY slow on 5400rpm HDD's still found on some/alot of systems.
