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

[Desh]

How has nobody yet mentioned South Park: The Stick of Truth?  I love that damn game.  I don't believe I've ever laughed so hard while playing a game.

The greatest RPG ever (until The Fractured But Whole comes out at least)..

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.

it's.... Okay.
It makes me think kind of a mish mash of the naruto fighters on GC and Dynasty Warriors.
but it never really commits to either one, so there's something of a disconnect between what it feels like it should be and what it actually is, if that makes sense?


as to south park, i kinda spaced it I guess.
I got it on a steam sale and figured that was good enough

Well I just won a few games for the OG xbox via ebay:

Report back with how you like Burnout Revenge! I LOVED Burnout Takedown on my PS2 when I had it, I played the crash(?) mode for hours on end. That game was amazing to me at the time. I never tried any others in the series, aside from an OK-at-best DS game.

Revenge is the best one IMO.

I've yet to play Revenge (it's still in the mail) but I'll say I always have a soft spot for Burnout 3 Takedown, despite the annoying ass announcer dude.
I'm sure I'll like Revenge.

couple local pickups today:
Alpha Protocol - $5 (it's underrated. It's a good game, just a bit clunky on the gameplay)
Clive Barker's Jericho - $5 (again, a bit hamfisted, but a fun enough time if you're in on the style)
Enslaved Odyssey to the West - $5 (knockoff uncharted/GOW)
The Bureau Xcom Declassified - $8 (yet to play it)
Trauma Center Second Opinion - $9 (why did I not already have this?)
Pocket Bike Racer - $nothing (it's for a prank, bro)

I was really excited about Jericho when it was announced since I absolutely LOVED Undying, but the final result was nothing like what I expected so I was a bit let down by the whole thing.

I have been on a shopping spree for original Xbox, 360 and PS3 games, and man, you really can get some great modern games for dirt cheap right now.

My recent hauls:

Vanquish and DMC Collection (PS3) - $13
Alpha Protocol (360) - $5
Arkham Asylum (PS3) - $4
Burnout 3 Takedown (Xbox) - $4
Mech Assault (xbox) - $4
Project Sylpheed - $6
Enslaved (PS3) - $7.50
Death Row (Xbox) -$7
Phantom Dust (Xbox) - $8.50
Beyond Good and Evil (Xbox) - $7

All of that for about the price of a new game for current gen consoles and other than DMC 1, all games I wanted to play, just didn't have time when they came out.

I too recently got Vanquish and Alpha Protocol, though I ended up paying $8 for vanquish on its own.
heard it's worth it; we'll find out once it shows up.

other recent pick ups (via ebay)
Wario Land Shake it - $8
Timesplitters 2 (xbox) - $6
Super Mario Galaxy - $6

Apparently Super paper mario is pretty cheap still.
I'll have to keep an eye open just in case.

[jtucci31]

Damn MARIO Galaxy for $6. I've had an urge to finally give those two games a shot after all this time, good to know that the first one can be had for so damn cheap!

2nd one is cheap too, i think i got it for sub $10 last year.
New Super Mario Bros Wii is above $10 now though
kinda regret not grabbing it when you got get a loose disc for <$5 via ebay

Really looking forward to playing Vanquish after I'm done with Arkham Asylum, which I'm thoroughly enjoying right now. I had tried Arkham City a couple of years ago when it was free on PSN and it just never clicked with me, but Asylum has been awesome so far. Love that it's just more focused and the story line is great. I know I'm super late to the party here, but hey, that's why I'm enjoying this on the cheap!

I should pick up Time Splitters 2 as well, as everyone raves about it, but it always looked like just another generic FPS to me. But for $6, what the hell, right?

Getting the Galaxy games for that cheap is an incredible bargain as well, so everyone should jump on those modern classics now.

dude, Arkham Asylum is aaaaaaaaaaalmost perfect.
I have one major gripe, and that's the one everyone else has.
Not to say the other arkham games are bad, but asylum is by far the best imo.

wii games are already starting to go up in price - snag em while you can.
*sigh* just one more reason I always that that nintendo fans are the worst type of gamer(or in most cases, collectors who want to look at a shelf of crap they'll never play)

Man that's so cheap for Galaxy. Great game. Nice that Nintendo did budget releases for a lot of their good Wii games.

You won't be disappointed.

I thought most Wii games were still pretty cheap. Notable exceptions being stuff like Fire Emblem and some random horror games. Also a lot of the pricier games got sneaky reprints which was niiiiice.
