A friend sold me the Starcraft and Diablo set box for $30. That was 7 years ago I think and I still haven't stopped playing them.

Two Worlds: Epic Edition - Everyone I know slated this game, bought it for 3.99 on STEAM and having so much fun, spent 20 hours on it already.
I'm considering this for my next purchase, but I can't help but feel it may not hold a candle to Oblivion (which I still have plenty to do in).

Chaos Legion - £5.
Star Ocean: Till The End of Time - £10.
Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven - £10.
Jade Cocoon 2 - £5.
Black & White 2 = £15.
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X - £10.
Zone Of The Enders - £5.
The Orange Box - £10.

And as much as I hate to admit it...Halo 3 for £5, practically the day after it was released, I had fun with it when I bought it, picked it up out of a pre-owned bucket and it scanned through as £5, must say, I was surprised, though that's all the damn thing will ever be worth.

I have two copies of Breakdown, one of which I was given, one of which I bought new for $5. And that it my top game of all time. Other than that, Psi-Ops was a nice bargain buy, as was Devil May Cry 3: SE on Steam. If you want price to fun, though, it would have to be Diablo 2, which I got a free pre-release copy of.

I thought Too human sucked. Were the reviewers being too harsh on the game?
It's definitely not worth paying full price for, but if you enjoy hack and slash games its a fun little romp with a decent amount of replayability (5 classes, 50 levels, million items). The main problems Yahtzee and others had with it, long deaths, slow movement, sticky combat, etc arn't really as bad as they say. Unless you find it really difficult you won't die very often, your attack speed is rpg based, so some talents/skills increase the speed, and its got devil may cry gun+sword gameplay which is pretty amusing with combos and whatnot.
I was kind of disappointed in it because of the slowness. I mean, the combat was more visceral, I suppose but finding the better items took forever, and leveling yourself up to the point where you could take on the later enemies without dying once every few steps took a ton of grinding and grinding and grinding. To be honest, it started to feel like an MMO eventually. And once I got the epic equipment that added pauldrons the size of my head, a cape, and a sword made of lava, I just took one look at it and said "Oh my, Baldur looks like he's borrowed his clothes from a WOW character."

I buy almost all my games cheap on principle, even when I'm not forced to do so for financial reasons. Games are just way too expensive these days (console titles more so than PC ones, admittedly). It seems the only games I buy at full price are the ones I really hate, such as Fallout 3, Oblivion and BioShock. I guess I'm an involuntary masochist or something...

Persona 3 & 4 were two great recent bargains, but the latter game wasn't even full-priced to begin with.

I got Neverwinter Nights for £10 about four years ago, and it's been worth every penny.

More recently, I got Crackdown for £6, and got a lot out of it for the price. Not particularly deep, just a lot of fun.

I got Dark Messiah for a tenner. Really enjoyed it.
That, Beyond Good and Evil, IL2 and Farcry were all for £9 on Steam. So that was a decent bargin, even though I never enjoyed any of them *that* much.

Best bargains... The CS anthology on Steam -> CS, CS:CZ, DoD, DmC and Ricochet, for well under a tenner.

I bought Enchanted Arms for about $15, and it's been a generic JRPG that I've enjoyed immensely, due to terrible/awesome voice acting.

Pretty much every Atlus game I have played: Trauma Center series, and Operation Darkness. I also plan on getting Knights In The Nightmare when it drops in price.

No More Heroes and RE4, both for $20.

AoE and AoE2+expansions for 10£, battlefield 2 complete collection for 10£.
And then of course WoW... I paid 6p for it, cheapest laugh I've ever had as I broke it and threw it into the flames.

Left for dead - $25 special on Steam - Still playing it on average of 5 games a week at least
Overlord - $10 bargain bin - LOVED it.

Now that I use Steam for pretty much all of my game purchases, I tend to wait till they discount a game for a weekend before I buy it.

Freedom Fighters for a fiver. Absolutely awesome game.

God Hand for a fiver. Fun, for a while.

Sly 2: Band of Thieves for 2 quid. Brilliant game.
