Technicbeat is an awesome music game for PS2 that can be found for about 15 bucks now.

It's the other way around.

What year was this released?

I was looking at that. Could you go into further detail, please?

It's a really bizarre music game. You actually move a character around in a square 'arena' of sorts, as rings appear. Inside each of these rings is another ring that grows as you get closer to having to activate it. You can move rings around prior to activating them, and when two overlap, you start a combo.

Great game for the price, with a pretty decent songlist. Nothing else quite like it, either.

Transformers :: PS2 :: $20

I was quite surprised by Transformers. I fully expected it to be totally mediocre, but was surprised by the amount of subtle depth to it. It's a whole lot of 'splosions and stuff, but as you earn more and more power-ups (mini-cons) you'll get into some strategizing and tactical combat. A very good game, and worth more than the $20 it costs at most retail places.

EDIT: Oh yes, one of the coolest boss fights ever versus the 200 foot tall Tidal Wave.

i got to the Tidal Wave stage and could never get on him to make him fight me.....or whatever you had to do to progress in that stage. made me sad.

Here's the Technic Beat thread we had awhile back.

What you should know is that this game has one of the greatest soudtracks ever, and... the game is fun

These are dirty lies and I will not stand for them.

Anyway, I dont really buy budget games, because, well... I dont play the games I own enough. But Metal Arms is now $10 at Best Buy, one of the top games of the past few years, really.

I'm not even sure if you can find this PC game anymore, but it was in the Best Buy value section forever.





It's a fun little RTS game that has a twist:

Unlike most real-time strategy games, you do not directly control individual characters in Majesty Gold. You create structures, set reward flags, and cast spells that influence and aid the heroes and henchmen that roam the land

Luckily, the AI is pretty decent to where this doesn't make the game a chore.

Top Shop - If you own a PS1 or PS2 or are planning on buying a PS3 you really should own this game. It was released at $20 and can now be found for much much less. I got mine for $5 at Best Buy. At agetec's site for $9.99

Good call on Top Shop, but I'm almost certain the game was released at $9.99.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Katamari Damacy for PlayStation 2 yet. It was released at $19.99 and is tremendous fun.

A lot of classic game compilations like Activision Anthology, Atari Anthology (or its PC counterpart Atari: 80 Classic Games in One), Midway Arcade Treasures, and Midway Arcade Treasures 2 can be purchased for around $10-$20.
