gaming Low Dollar Gems

[Marcusaralius76 150]

Every now and then, I'll go to Gamestop and pick up a used game for a couple bucks. I never spend more than ten bucks, and while a lot of them are crap, some of them are awesome games! So far I found

 

Dark Sector: Gears of War with magic. $7.99US new

Quake Wars: Star Wars Battlefront 2 with Modern tanks and guns $8.99US used

Paraworld: Age of Empires with dinosaurs and explosives. $8.99US new

Prey: Halo/Portal. $1.99US used

 

 

 

So what little gems have you found in the bargain bin over the years? Any good games I should look out for?

 

And to keep this as an actual discussion instead of a glorified shopping list, do you guys think the way games are priced should change to more reflect their rating from a particular group such as IGN, or should they stay the same?

Oh, I got New Vegas for $23 Aus dollars. And Call of Juarez: BiB (Amazin game) for $39.

 

Maybe not that "low dollar," but for what they are...

Picked up a copy of Capcom Vs Snk 2 for $8.99 once. Also I was able to get the Three Kingdom Hearts games that had come out for the ps2 at the time for $25.

 

At times it does feel like the better reception a game gets the higher its value becomes, even if the game plays in some of the more awful ways possible.

I picked up TES IV: Oblivion 5th anniversary edition for $20. It came with all the dlc, great deal.

You can get the Metroid Prime series dirt cheap now, thanks to the port on the Wii.

I once got the first three original Fallout games (1, 2 and Tactics) for £10.

 

And the PS1 port of FFVI for only £6. That was a glorious week.
