A Thread For Poor Gamers

Pretty much the most general information ever, but aside from halo 3 and marvel vs. capcom 2, most if not all ps2 and xbox games are under $20 used as any gamestop/ebgames.

gamecube varies because those silly mario titles never go down in price, actually i think mario kart got jacked up to $40 again.

It did *and that's USED!* but if your local Wal Mart has Mario Kart Double Dash, it should list @ $29.99! *and that's NEW!*

I think it might even be priced that online (@ Wal Mart)

I'm lucky I found a copy on EBay for $16.99! and $1.99 was to ship UPS!

yea, i know i just bought an x-box on black friday and halo 1 is 24.99 at those stores and 9.99 at best buy new. made me laugh a bit. the only games i've seen that cost more than that are as i said nintendo made gamecube games (zelda twilight princess, double dash, mario tennis, and zelda collection) and halo 2 and ninja gaiden black are 24.99 a peice...

other than that most last gen games are pretty cheap now.

- Peggle Extreme (amusing small game)


For ATI owners: ( ATi Steam Offer )
- Half-Life 2: Deathmatch
- Half-Life 2: Lost Coast


Trackmania Nations Forever is also available from Valve

[N1ghtw0lf]

You can get 2 games from steam for free:

Trackmania Nations Forever

Sam & Max 104: Abe Lincoln Must Die!

[Hard core Rikki]

Funny, didnt notice Sam and Max ;p
Will try ;p Not sure about the game itself though ;P

[3x3cUt0r]

I like it, even when something i don't get the jokes because Max speaks too fast and has a weird voice.

[Xtreme2damax]

Thanks for the great news 3x3cut0r.

I'm downloading them right now.

Somehow I got a free guest/temp pass for TF2 as well, weird.

That's because it is free weekend for Team Fortress 2

Both of these are available as standalones, without Steam.

- Sam and Max: Abe lincoln gotta gtfo (selectable button under the 'free demo')
Telltale Games - Sam & Max

- Trackmania Nations Forever (you can either fetch the Steam version or the other one from the other sites listed at the bottom):
TrackMania

As an aside note, Battlefields Heroes will be f2p and a certainly appropriate contender to Team Fortress 2, so you might wish to keep an eye on that one when it's out (likely to turn into an ECTS selection)
