Mortal Kombat Deception less than $5. I liked the konquest mode, it also has a puzzle mode, a racing mode, a chess mode and of course the arcade mode.
Surprisingly good games you bought because they were cheap

Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts for £5.20 (including £2 p&p)
It's pretty good, I mean I hadn't really heard of it - If they replaced the models with super mario characters and put it on the wii then it'd probably be much more known.
You collect jiggies (like stars) in different worlds that are unlocked when you reach certain amount of jiggies (mario 64). You do tasks for people in the worlds to get jiggies. It's all about vehicles really if you hadn't guessed. For most things you'll have to modify or create a specific vehicle to get the best result which is an aditional trophy with your jiggy, 4 of these gets you another jiggy. Then there's online racing/sports/battles you can do, even with another person on the same console - but I havn't played this because it won't find anyone.. no-one plays it anymore I guess. The single player challanges you have to do to earn jiggies are pretty much the different things you can do in the multiplayer.
Basically if you take Mario Kart 64 and Super Mario 64, mash them together, have the multiplayer just like mario kart, have the single player be the same setup as Super Mario 64 but all about challanges like in the multiplayer.. yeah Super Mario Kart Galaxy.

Got Grim Fandango for a tenner,
Blue Dragon for seven,
and got Lost Oddyssey, PGR4, and Prince of Persia together for about 20 Euro (those three were used, but still, pretty sweet).

As it happens, Mirror's edge is my surprisingly good cheap game too! Although it cost me £5, rather than 50p...jamez525 said:
Oh, and I picked up Mass effect essentially because it was cheap, and I'd heard a couple of good things about it. £8 and 3 days later, I became something of a fanboy...
I'm not sure if the Orange Box counts, in that I wasn't surprised that it was good, having already played through Portal on a friend's PC in an afternoon. But it came up in a steam deal for £5.77, so I got it.
Star Trek Armada 2. Great game in it's time, and now with the freeware Fleetops mod, it's former glory is restored for the modern RTS/Star Trek fanboy like me. Can't remember how much it cost, as I bought it back in '02 or sometime around then, but I remember it was a steal.
Trine 'cud it was in a deal 2 for £15 so thought wy not ALOT better then I thougt it would be. (note I'm doin this on my I-pod touch so thel be typos)
Dead head Fred, never heard of the game and it was $1.99 turned out to have decent story great voice work and creative characters
i live in the bargain bin . here's a list of some of my treasures
Evil genius - pure awesome
gun-great shooter
impossible creatures-stupid RTS, but actually really fun. You splice animals together, to create some godless affront to nature, than go kill other godless affronts to nature.
Elephant lobsters for the win.
Conquest: frontier wars-great RTS, but turns absolutely impossible 3/4 of the way through. seriously, you can type in all the cheat codes you want, you still wont beat it.
psyconauts- awesome little game. go buy it
Space rangers 2- easily in my top 5 favorite games list. go buy it now. and get the expansion too.
painkiller- screw plot, this is fun!!
several different armored core games
Morrowind-huge awesome game
Time splitters future prefect-get it now
the first digimon world for PS1- surprisingly awesome game
heroes of might and magic IV
The original DOOM trilogy- if i have to explain this, you have failed as a gamer.
i got a box set once for $10, with Freedom fighters, black and white with expansion, some war game( call of honor or something like that) and some LotR game. All decent 2, first 2 were excellent. black and white is one of my all time favs.
and those are just the ones i can think of off the top of my head. I recommend playing any and all of them, and i got all but 2 of them (space rangers and morrowind) for under $10

This, got it for $15 NZ, which is a steal. I just wish that company would branch out more, maybe make a sequel.AwesomeFerret said:
