Bargain/Budget Games Thread.

morrowind goty edition. 20 bucks new, less used, hundreds of hours of play, and if you get it for pc, then you can also get the mods for free, so for 20 bucks and a bit of patience downloading you can have morrowind, tribunal, bloodmoon, and the massive professional grade free mods sea of destiny and wizards islands all together. and that will take you for the rest fo the year and beyond.

korly gets the good call on bg&e, its not as good as zelda, but it is its own beast, and does a fantastic job of what it does. the best thing about it is the characters, you come to care about them far more than a standard unemotional badass. the combat is a little wonky, but functional, and the stealth and camera parts are very well intigrated.

and revolter, timesplitters 2 was pretty fun, got it for 10 bucks and have no regrets, the first level remins you that many of the devs made goldeneye, as its very similar, but the time shifting gimmick keeps the game fresh, and the multiplayer is very good.

What year was this released?

It came out in Japan in '99, but didn't come out here until like 2003. Tower of the Ancients came out like 2000/2001.

Chao just picked up Blaster Master and Streetstyle Soccer for 5 bucks each at Blockbuster. Streetstyle is worth the 5 dollars for comedic value alone.

Beyond Good and Evil was going for as little as 8.99 while I was still working at EB.

Walmart has PC copies for $15 in their budget bins (well, mine does). Same goes for FFX-2, if you're into that sort of thing.

Phantom Dust is the best $20 game ever.

Phantom Dust is the best $20 game ever.

I have been meaning to get that game for ages.

I think that budget games are those games that were never full priced, personally (nothing against Transformers, etc, but they were intended to sell at a high price). Anyway...

Bombastic would be a game I'd add.

[Jeremy]

Mojo! is another good one, and the bargain games are those that were released at a higher price and then dropped, while the budget games would be those released at a lower price point. Well, that's my interpretation anyway.

[Tain]

Oh, definitely. Bombastic is one of the greatest puzzle games out there.

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.

You gotta make your way around the islands, pick up the hang-glider mini-con, and continue until you reach the highest peak. From there you can jump and glide to the deck of Tidal Wave.

There's still quite a bit more to that level before you actually fight him, though.
