make a mod, with ninjas and lasers and other cool stuff.

then you can get world famous for the best mod ever, and make money without clicking any links or getting free ipods.

or you could buy guild wars.

Decent game.

The game is great. Now if only you could find a decent server
with good players who believe in TEAMWORK... :sad: That, I have yet
to find. Unless you go face off a clan.

UT2k4: Editor's Choice $30 (PC)

All Player Choice games $5-$20 (PS2, GC, XBX) [Best Buy usually has some sales on these for $10]

Used
In rough order of price, as I've noticed

Onimusha $5-10 (PS2)
Silpheed $5-10 (PS2)
Eternal Darkness $4-15 (GC)
Ikaruga $10-20 (GC)

Find a good used store and you can find beautiful games for under $20. I think, when I usually go, I feel ripped off if I pay more then $25 for something.
You could always Buy a used DreamCast for $20 and download all the games you can't find, burn them, and have an entire collection!
Also, a used game card at EB Games can be a wise investment. (If you spend about $85 on used games, the card will pay for its self and save you about $3 during that purchase. Sadly, now, you save a flat rate rather then on how many games you purchase)

There are many, MANY, more.

I don't know. You have the internet, give a look around.

[EDIT]

Freedom Fighters $10 (PC) [Very good game made by IO-Interactive, just wish it had multi-player like its console counterparts]

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

If you like survival horror, check out Fatal Frame 1 and 2. They cost
about ?10 a piece in the UK and are available on both PS2 and Xbox,
with the Xbox versions being the best ones to pick up due to a fair
amount of extra content and improved graphics/audio. They really are
pretty damn scary at times, and they have a really cool and unique
combat system.

TRIBES VENGENCE is only $18.88 at Wal Mart.. Or $19.95 at CompUSA.

man games in the us are really expensive. give or take but i could get most of the games you guys mentioned for about half the price in dollars!

I play America's Army for 3 years now since the BETA/RECON version. It is definately worth a try.

AA isnt really good, its just a dm game.

The strength of the turbulence is directly proportional to the temperature of your coffee.

You just have to play on the right servers together with the right players :smile:

Well, good for you. :wink: Psychonauts is the new Beyond Good and Evil. Complete with already being virtually impossible to find on shelves. :sad:

Evil Genius has also dropped in price... Scrapland was pretty cool, sort of a BG&E meets GTA3 style going for it. The original KOTOR should be dirt cheap on xbox or PC, that's always worth it if you haven't played it yet...

Decent game.

If you have the machine and the connection to download, you cannot beat the price of this one..

In fact, I highly recommend this game for those people suffering from builders block.. There are some noteworthy maps ideas in this..

The best things in life, aren't things.

I bought scrapland and was uttely underwhelmed by it. The idea sounded
cool and all but the world (though seemingly quite large) felt empty,
and the environments you could visit felt like large paths with no
worthwhile interaction. The limited number of NPC types, that all
repeat the same few lines of dialogue, meant the world didn't feel
populated and alive, but merely "made busy". Soundtrack also really got
on my nerves from what I heard of it - the entire atmosphere just
didn't do it for me to be honest.

I might go back and give it another shot sometime, but from first impressions it failed to live up to any of my expectations :sad:

In the UK they are double, even triple the prices of America in some cases.

I WANT TO KEEP MY SNARKPIT NAME AS THURSDAY- AND NOT CHANGE IT TO MY NEW ALIAS OF THALDARIN! WHY? NOSTALGIC PURPOSES FOR ME! STOP ASKING ME IF I WANT TO GET IT CH

Thats fairly rare to be honest. Console titles these days tend to
launch at ?30 in the UK, while it looks like they are still $50 in the
US, which is pretty even going by the current exchange rate. Sure you
will find some cases where a game is much cheaper in the US, but also
keep in mind its not uncommon for games to come out as much as a year
earlier in the US, and so when the game finally comes out full price in
the UK, its likely there will have been price drops on it in the US
making it substantially cheaper there.
