As the title says.

Games you want, but are not willing to pay full price for.

I'd have to say most games today.
Anything with a sub 5 hour campaign and no multiplayer or multiplayer and no single-player.

Assassin's Creed Revelations and Arkham City are totally worth $50 IMO. The others I haven't played yet. (Amalur's on preorder) Bioshock: Infinite is the only one that springs to mind at the moment.Zhukov said:
Dead island comes to mind . Also all the shooters that came out last year which include but isn't limited to . FEAR3 , gears of war 3 , battlefield 3 , mw3, space marine , shadows of the damn etc... Hell the only game that is coming out this year that i will pay full price for is , FFXIII-2 and streetfight x tekken. And MAYBE xenoblade when it comes to NA.
I want infamous 1 and 2 but I really don't want to pay the money needed...mainly because that money would go towards buying a PS3
dead island is 10 bucks on newegg right now (don't have the exact link but got an email about it earlier)krazykidd said:
OT: anything by activision (don't REALLY want it, but wouldn't mind having it)
the uncharted 1 and 2 combo come to mind...i played through both of them and sold em, but after playing the 3rd i want them both back so i can do a marathon one of these weekends on all 3 games.
Saints Row 3 for me as well. I want it for teh pure dumb fun it looks like it should provide, but simple dumb fun isn't worth new game price as far as I'm concerned.
Batman: Arkham City. I bought Arkham Asylum after hearing all the praise for it, then they turned around and released the Game of the Year Edition a few months later that included all the DLC for the same price. I'd rather not go through that again, so I'm just going to wait until Arkham City GOTY edition comes out.
At the moment I'm waiting for a price drop on Assassins Creed: Revelations. Once it gets to around the AUD$40 mark I'll probably pick it up... which I acknowledge probably won't be until about the time the next game in the series comes out, but no biggie.
There are a few games I want for the 3DS that will likely never see a price reduction (looks towards Marios Kart and Land). Once Rayman Origins is released for the 3DS it's likely only going to be a matter of months before that one goes down in price though. I really want Hard Reset too but that would require a pretty substantial investment on my PC. Similarly, there are some iOS games that I'd like but that would require me either throwing down a shit-load for an iPod Touch (because screw the phone) or a shit-load more money for an iPad.
I've recently played the demo of FFXIII-2 and I do want the game, but I'll have to wait to a price drop as I can't justify buying it at full price when it is released early next month. I bought FFXIII for full price and I did enjoy it but on reflection I didn't enjoy enough for it to be a good release day purchase.
Also having bought ToR for full price recently and with Soul Cali 5 and Mass Effect 3 coming up I'll be raiding my wallet in the next few months already without adding FFXIII-2 to my list.

Saints Row 3 and Arkham Asylum would have been on the list, but I managed to get them for free, because I had OnLive vouchers for free games.
Now I'd say Rayman Origins. It looks cool, but not £40 cool. Lots of games in the past have fit into this category though, and sometimes it's turned out very well. I picked up Mass Effect 1 ages after release, and wished I'd picked it up sooner.

Just about all of them. ?50 is way too much for me to pay, every time I want a game. In 2011 the only game I picked up, brand new was portal 2. Other games I bought this year include GTA: vice city, and final fantasy 7.
Pretty much every game I want falls into this category, because I try to be super stingy with my gaming purchases. If I really want a newly released game, I wait for good enough trade in deals that I can get half the price in store credit, and that works pretty well for me. I don't end up with too many games, but I get the ones I want at reasonable prices. The only game I've bought in the past 3 years at full release price with all cash is Skyrim, and that's because I'd just bought a PS3 entirely with store credit the week before.
I also find that staying a generation behind the times helps keep things cheap. That's why I got my PS2 two years after the PS3's release, and I can play all the highlights of the PS3's first 5 years now at cheap prices. Half the time, if I really want to play a new game, I can just befriend the guy who's willing to buy it
