A Thread For Poor Gamers

[N1ghtw0lf]

The Beyond Good & Evil thread gave me the idea to make a thread about games that have been for a while or recently made their way to the bargain bins for people to know about. I'm trying to stick to great games or games that didn't get enough credit so i'm gonna try and think of (or look up) as many as i can. All the prices are in USD btw and most can be found in wal-mart or some common department store or computer store. I'm trying to go for games that aren't so outdated noone wants to play them also.

Most of these will only ship to the USA so i'm sorry for excluding you people outside of the USA. Took me a while to make this thread so i hope it helps someone at least. If not, at least it filled up an hour of my life. Most people already know most of these games would be $20 but most of them are worth it for a cheap buy.

THIS IS A THREAD FOR ALL YOU CHEAP PEOPLE OUT THERE

Other than Target and Circuit City Canada gets the rest of those places you mentioned. Nice thread. Very thoughtful.

[RF]

Wow, great list! You forgot one little game, I believe you can get Half-Life for about $10, and that gets you Counter-Strike, TFC, DOD and more mods FREE

[N1ghtw0lf]

Yea i forgot to add...you can tell me and i'll add em to the list

[Razor Blade]

Heres a few:

Under $10.00

Sum of all Fears, Rune, SIN, Myst I, Riven (Myst 2), Max Payne ... Err, I'm gonna have to put my thinking cap on for more

Okay i'm all out for now

[N1ghtw0lf]

didn't sum of all fears like suck though?

[Razor Blade]

Well it was O.K. Worth ten bucks

Heres more I found in Canada for $10.00 or less so in the states they may be cheaper.

Armed and Dangerous, Dues Ex, Dues Ex 2: Invisible War, Everquest, Kill.Switch, Planetside, Spiderman: The Movie, X2: Wolverines Revenge, Hulk, Need for Speed 1-5, Enter the Matrix (sucked IMO, But some people liked it)

[N1ghtw0lf]

[RF]

Ooh, I am going to pick up kill.switch

[N1ghtw0lf]

kill siwtch was only that cheap for PC, for xbox and ps2 i think it was $30

and my own research led me to want to go out and buy kingdom hearts cuz i rented it at one point but only played it for a few minutes cuz my brother took the ps2 into his room...i ahvent played it since -_-

[MrTeamWork]

This is a good thread it should be a sticky for awhile!

[N1ghtw0lf]

I'm currently looking for any place in my area that carries anachronox but i have not been able to find it at all.

[FLaRe85]

Oh, come on...you can't forget Half.Com. This is where I've bought most of my PS2 games, many under $10.

[Zer0Soul]

Europe (NL, that is) has a number of stores with Ubi titles priced at 20 euros; amongst them Beyong Good & Evil and Lock On: Modern Air Combat.

[Rhombus]

A great site for all the thrifty gamers out there is (I hope this doesn't get auto-censored) www.cheapassgamer.com They keep track of the best prices and deals at chain stores (Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart, etc.) all across the US. They also announce good deals and promotions from websites, including stuff like periods of free shipping. It's also not only games, but all game-related stuff like controllers, memcards, gamesharks and other accessories.

[DarkAurora]

Bargain hunting is a great thing and I've decided to make this thread a sticky since this is helpful to all users.

[Unicron]

oh oh no no you forgot the Fallout and Fallout 2 bundle pack for like $10 if you get into those games they alone will keep your mind occupied and your dreams as well for a month each.
