Games have gotten pretty expensive, so I thought I would make a list of cheap games you could buy, most of which are under $10

Gamecube games:
Metroid Prime-5.99

Super Smash Bros Melee-26.99 The only game on this list over $10. If you haven't alreadybought this game and you own a Wii or gamecube stop reading this go to your nearest game store and buy it. Although Super Smash Bros. Brawl is going to come out next year this game is still worth buying I mean come on what other gsme can you play that lets you make Link, Pikachu, Kirby, and Mairo all fight against each other at once?

Resident Evil 0-9.99

Battlion Wars-9.99

F-zero GX-7.99

Star Wars Leader: Rogue Squadron ll-9.99

Wave Race Blue Storm-5.99

SSX 3-9.99

Viewtiful Joe-6.99

Viewtiful Joe 2-7.99

Xbox
Mechassault-2.99

Ninja Gaiden-9.99

Mercenaries:playground of destruction-9.99

Star WarsRepublic Commando-14.99

Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind-5.99

Splinter Cell 3-7.99

Thief Deadly Shadows-7.99

Star Wars Star Fighter Special edition-4.99

Tenchu Return From Darkness-5.99

and last but not least

Star Wars Jedi Starfighter-5.99 The sequel to star wars Sratfighter


PS2
GTA Vice City-7.99

GTA 3-6.99

MGS 3-9.99

Devil may cry-7.99

Gran turismo 3-3.99

Gun-8.99

Jak 2-7.99

Dark cloud-7.99

Half life-11.99 Is anyone else here surprised that they made Half-life for the PS2?

Now all of these games got a rating of 7.5 or higher from gamestop, check metacritic.com if you want. If you have any suggestions please post them and I will put them on the list.

Killer 7-$8.99-Gamecube/PS2 (GC better version)

Red Faction 1-$3.99
Red Faction 1 was one of the greatest games ever!
Red Faction 2 was a bit of a let down, but still pretty decent.
I can't wait for Red Faction 3!

Try www.cex.co.uk.

Under the 360 software section in gaming, there are about 60 games that are less than a tenner. It's great...

Here's the link:

You must remember that a lot of people here are American and a tenner here would be 20ish over there. :p But there are a lot of sites & stores which offer cheap games. Ive found that Gamestation is pretty good for cheap games, play.com is y far the best. :)

Yeah I tried Play.com as well.
Here's the link:

I liked play's offers but cex has so many cheap ones that it is generally a better deal. It is one thing we get that the americans' don't for a change. We have this win...

No problem. Glad I could help. Football Manager for 2.50 is what I'm buzzing about. And Fifa 07 for 5.00. And Graw for 6.00. 13.50 for 3 fairly decent 360 games? Definitely. I could get 4 good games for 20 quid! I'm there on Friday. Table Tennis and Splinter Cell:DA are already on their way. :thumbsup:

What are you talking about?
The games I mentioned are all good games. I loved Table Tennis and Splinter Cell: DA. And FIFA. And FM. And GRAW.

Btw, is Beautiful Katamari actually that good? I'm sure other people will be interested in the use of the word "awesome" to describe a game that sounds like squid. Lono goes on about it, but he loved PixelJunk Monsters... I am curious... Is it worth buying? help appreciated... :thumbsup:

GREAT title.... although perhaps the druggiest thing you will EVER see on your screen. (Seriously... Mario is all about MUSHROOMS and it's not as druggy as this!)

I bought in the last two weeks 5 games for 58 quid (about $120 dollars). GRAW, Prey, Splinter Cell: DA, Table Tennis, and most importantly GT5:Prologue. GT5:P was only 18 quid. 7 quid off! All the other games were a tenner each...

PC Gamer are normally £10-£20 cheaper than the console versions so thankfully cheap games are relativley easy to find for the PC.
