the collector mentality is exactly why I made this thread.
as stated above, this has nothing to do with the projected value of a game.
I just wanted to talk about good games that are still cheap, since it seems that any retro game with any pull in its name has just gotten stupid expensive.

back on topic -
Doom 3 is pretty cheap, I don't think it's quite under $10, but the console BFG editions are pretty good (though I would recommend the OG version with mods personally)
Best of Playstation Network - hey, Tokyo Jungle was pretty legit. Sounds and Shapes seals the deal


Saints row 2 was the best Saints Row game

Can't go wrong with these, all under $10

360:

Ben10 Alien Force Vilgax Attacks

Ben10 Ultimate Alien Cosmic Destruction

Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion

Wii:

Toy Story Mania

Disney Car Toons Mater's Tall Tales



I have had the (mis)fortune of playing all these. They are not worth buying at all! I guess Explosion was alright

PS3:

ICO/Shadow of the Colossus : have the PS2 games. Have been interested in this collection as it's HD.

White Knight Chronicles: I keep almost picking it up. I think the sequel has both games but not sure is the first game is on disk or as DLC.

Folklore: have been interested but not completed to pull the trigger. Maybe if I find it for $5 or less.

360:

Blue Dragon:  heard it's only mediocre. Worth a buy?  Recommended price?

Rumble Roses XX (yep): am I getting this confused with the Xbox game where you play strippers doing BMX?

It's all on one disc. I had a hard time getting into this game, it's very dense and rough. Tiny text if I recall.

Folklore: have been interested but not completed to pull the trigger. Maybe if I find it for $5 or less.

I'd go higher than 5$ to replace my copy if the need were to arise., a worth while game with very unique and enjoyable environments.


Blue Dragon:  heard it's only mediocre. Worth a buy?  Recommended price?

Overhyped before and during release time, underrated in the history of the system and era of rpgs. It's worth 15$ or less for sure.

They are not worth buying at all!

They are all masterpieces and fine examples of game development prowess. Please save your slander for another day!

I love the difference in opinion for games.  Others love what others hate.  I liked Blue Dragon a lot.  I also didn't expect much from it.  It's probably the reason I enjoyed it more than others.  I tend to be a lot more forgiving.  Rumble Roses XX is the sequel to the all female PS2 wrestling game Konami made.

Based on the title of probabaly pas on each one. They sound like shovel ware. Can you provid anything. To compel me to play these?

This thread took an odd turn.  :lol:

@gnyt: Besides the Japanese shooters, I would also recommend these for 360.

Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey (bit higher but still reasonable and a very solid JRPG experience), Crackdown (not the 2nd one though), Halo, Gears of War. Mass Effect is excellent if you haven't already played it, no longer console exclusive but it's one of my favourites so I have to mention it.

I'm a sucker for the Lego games, none of which are worth much nor likely ever will be.
U.S. Collection: 97% complete    155/159 titles

I have been tempted to get the PS3 Strider game. I know it only got a JP physical release. Looking in eBay it seems to be at the $20 range some with free shipping.

Like Gred said it was overhyped which led to negative press. It's a light hearted/kiddy JRPG. I enjoyed it. Well worth $10.

These are pretty fun, plus local co-op.

No lol. Unless we are talking free copies signed by the development team with concept art used in the development lol.

Too bad Japanese tities don't go down in price to the $5-$10 level. $25-30 for older tities if you get lucky.

Anyways, back on topic, Little Big Planet series, Baja Edge of Control, Sega Rally Revo, Kameo, etc,etc,etc
Gaming since 1985

Yakuza Dead Souls (this one is rarely given props, but once you get used to the controls is a lot of fun)
Qubed
Death Smiles
Akai Katana
Otomedius
Raiden Fighters Aces
Journey

All of the above are cheap and appeal to old school gamer sensibilities.

There are a lot of modern stuff you can get super cheap as well, like Last of Us, Uncharted series, God of War collection, MGS Collection, etc
