Games that are still cheap - strike while the iron's hot

[Gypsy]

RFA is on the climb a bit. Great little compilation and one that has logged many hours on my 360. Had been $7 in Gamestop's system but they adjusted the price.

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

OP was looking for <$10 suggestions so Raiden Fighter Aces wouldn't fall in that category

[bartre]

question for everyone, do the original DS and PSP fit in with this category?

Because I'm a rebel, I expanded it to the outlandish sum of double the price of the criteria laid out by the OP!

And technically, RFA is three games in one disc, so there, still less than $10 a pop.

So, to anyone reading this who likes shooters and wants an awesome set of games for the Xbox 360, RFA is still a hell of a deal.

question for everyone, do the original DS and PSP fit in with this category?

I'd say yes. I have a fair number of PSP games (mostly RPGs) and I don't think I spent more than $15 on but a few of them and those were still under $20.

DS has a lot of goodies as well. Plus both have recently received some reprints to pricier games which is nice and another option for both is EU copies I know there were some US DS games $60+ and the EU version (in English) was around $30 new.

I thought the DS was region locked.

I don't know about the DS, but the PSP definitely does.  It's not quite as cheap as it was when gamestop was clearing 'em out (I picked up many then for $5 or less), but most of its library is still worth less than $20 each.

Completely region free my man.

Yeah, all Nintendo handhelds until the 3DS have been region free. 

I will personally say that Blue Dragon is a fun little game.  Lost Odyssey is probably one of the best RPGS of that generation in my opinion.  It's been getting a lot more love recently, but still relatively underrated I think.

I think LO is pretty much my #1 PS360 JRPG. Especially if we are talking more traditional and cutting Valkyria which kind of blends genres and is another of my favourite Japanese games from that gen.

Agreed.

One of the top cheap games is Gungnir, a SRPG with some teeth and that is not afraid to deviate from the FFT mold. The Ys games can also be had for fair prices, and they are all excellent.

The PSP also has great packaging, and those little UMDs are so damn cute.

Picked up Naughty Bear Gold today for $8.
been circling this one for a while, there seems to be no middle ground on this one, either love it or hate it.
granted, the ones who seem to love it have all been the same people who say Conker's bad fur day was the best N64 game, soooooooo......

going into it, it'll probably be okay, with it being more about the presentation than the gameplay

The game is average. I honestly feel the grafics and repetitive game play is what hurts it the most.

Like you I got it for $8 used and for that price point I enjoyed it more then If I had bought it new.


Honestly the price I paid for a game can greatly affect the amount of enjoyment I get. Because if I get a average game that I might play only a few times at lest I felt the $10 or so dollars spent was worth the price of admission.

I'm with you there, as long as I feel like i got my money's worth, I'm happy.
example - ride to hell was terrible, but the lols were worth the $5.

having played naughty bear, I honestly can't much stand it - mostly the narrator kills it for me.
he sounds like the narrator from Battle Block Theater, only shittier.

on that note, I figure I'll share my list of PS3 games that I own and that I'm looking for
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EdxYDEGWdmyBchHP1LEqW-xexQjuZQHC6EvKNWMVH7w/edit?usp=sharing

I can honestly recommend 90% of those games, with me having stuck through to the end on about 1/2 of them and a few platinum trophies.
anyone got more recommendations?

additionally, I've got a few other lists

Looks through PS3 game list

Oh that funny I saw that PS3 bleach game at a GS for $14? Maybe slightly less. I thought about getting t but couldn't remember a thing about the game play or reviews.


Thoughts? 

Lollipop chainsaw. I have yet to get that one. I think it's the only Suda 51 game on the PS3 I am missing. Although I have been tempted to get the JP import as there is a special edition that has additional costumes and missions not released in NA. I think it's the Valentines Day DLC or something?
