The "These Games are dirt cheap" and are good thread

vegas-steven

I was at mobygames looking at the best games by year by console, and resistance fall of man made their top rated game of 2006...

so i kept browsing, and was impressed by how many pretty good games are often slashed in price over and over again.

Feel free to add, maybe a nice reminder for some people who arent avid die hard gamers and want to pick some stuff up:

Brutal Legend
- Multi platform, i bought this for $5.99 from a store called buybacks

Resistance: Fall of man
- Ps3... is this good? i havent played it and the same gamestore wants $20.99 for it, that seems high as gamestop online is $12.99

God of War Collection:
- Ps3, two games for $24.99 at gamestop

Street Fighter 4:
- Multi platform. Its street fighter.

... any more anyone want to add?

Super Meat Boy for 800 points?

The Blockbuster where I work is selling Mass Effect 2 for 9.99. They're old rental copies no longer needed.

Oh and for when you get to Brutal Legend's multiplayer...

vegas-steven

Mass effect 2 for 9.99
Good deal.
I haven't been in a blockbuster in 2year... Wow.

This man right here

speaks the truth

Edit: Now that I think of it, I was able to get Mad World for 6 bucks like a month ago. That was such a good deal for a great game.

Sacrifice is Brutal Legend's PC ancestor. Grab that there.

Dead space seemed very dark and claustrophobic to me but I'll download the demo and try it out.
Picked up little big planet goty edition today for $17.99.

If there is a store called "buybacks" near you, they have amazing deals.

I got the 360 version of Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing for under $25 from Amazon a month or so back. Absolutely worth every penny and then some, but unfortunately, the price had been fluctuating a lot, and I think it settled at a higher price.

I think Wii's New Play Control! version of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat can be found at good prices, too, and maybe Pikmin.

Bionic Commando is something like 8 bucks at Gamestop. The game got a lot of flak, but it's really worth a play.

Dangerous

Deadly Premonition on 360 for $20 is a great deal. It's not for everyone but if you can appreciate flawed yet quirky and hilarious games, it's worth picking up.

Magic Pink

There's just too many to mention.

so true....worth every dollar.

Magic Pink

Oh, gotta give a shout out to my favorite game, Sacred 2. It's about 17$ or less now.

And, of course, Earth Defense Force.

I hated Resistance, thought it was really dull. I'm from Manchester too, and the bits set in Manchester look nothing like it. No doubt new console launch hype helped it out.

DietarySupplement

Just Cause 2 can be had for real cheap these days too.

Apogee

Mount and Blade: Warband. For $20, it's well worth it. It's quite unique, being able to hack away at people from atop a horse. And it seems to go on sale for $10 on Stea pretty often.

and the church threatening sony with a lawsuit.
and your Prime Minister talking about it in Parliament.

All that stuff helped.

I played the demo and hated it. shooters have to be really good to grab my attention now a days.

Baka_Shade

After searching forever, I got my hands on a PS2 copy of Marvel vs Capcom 2 for the cool price of $45

A week or so later they announced the XBL/PSN rerelease

Pretty sure that all happened post release.

Xenogears of Bore

Pretty much every PSP more than a month or two old can be found for half its original price or less.

Drake

VVVVVV recently cut the price from fifteen dollars to five dollars. Many people felt it was worth fifteen dollars, at five dollars it's a steal for PC owning platfomer fans.

You can get it on Steam now too, which I think is neat.

Is somebody talking about Bionic Commando? I got a tingle like somebody was talking about Bionic Commando.

I love that game in a way that some may raise an eyebrow at.

LewieP

My weekly column of cheap games on Rock Paper Shotgun might be of your interests.

Also. Buy Mirror's Edge.

enc0re

For the rare man who has nothing, the Orange Box at $30 is still a great deal.

Drake

Do you like awesome FPS? GoG has some of the awesomest FPS ever for 5.99 a piece.

(One Unit Whole) Blood
Descent 1 & 2
Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition
Shogo: Mobile Armor Division*

These are some of the best FPS that the genre has ever produced. Marvel at the lost art of kickass level design! Experience the satisfaction of being able to carry a loadout larger than Ahnold's after he robs the gunshop in Commando! Discover the adrenaline charging feature of non-regenerating health! Crave the exhilaration of braving the enemies hail of weapons fire with out a cover system! Be creative! Dodge! Jump! Run at the speeds of a Formula One race car! To paraphrase a recent games unofficial moto, reality can go fuck itself.

*Also, Monolith, get the fuck on a sequel to SHOGO, and like do it fucking yesterday. And get on getting No One Lives Forever 1 & 2 and Contract Jack in the GoG store. I need those games because you were stupid and didn't market them well enough at me and oh my god why didn't I play those when I had the chance I'm so sorry please help

Angel177

Talking of the cheaper games...What about PSN? I just got a PS3 and want to know what is good but cheap? If itss on XBLA as well I probably have it, but I missed like 3 years of PSN stuff so recommend on!

LewieP

Flower and Joe Danger.

cj iwakura

Scott Pilgrim, Gundeadligne(a doujin shmup, you can give the trilogy a pass).


Also, Castle Shikigami III on the Wii is $10 everywhere. More bullet hell than you could ever want.
