[Slim-Shot]

Call of Duty 4

[Hisshiss]

Since I use gamefly I try not to buy games that arent either heavily co-op and repeatable, or multiplayer games. Since because of my obsessive nature other games will be over in under 2 days, I got Oddyssey to the west in the mail yesterday, beat it in 11 hours xD.

 

[Cat Cloud]

I paid a dollar for a Game Boy Color game based on a Cartoon Network cartoon. It was a bit pricy, but I think that's about what it was worth, give or take a buck.

Games I acutally like?
Shadow of the Colossas
Persona 3 FES
Etrian Odessy 1,2,3
Okami
Muramasa: The Demon Blade (I think that's the official title...)
Ico
The World Ends With You
Pokemon Silver ($15 )
KH: Birth By Sleep
ect.

 

[Kranay]

StarCraft 2, TES IV: Oblivion, STALKER Clear Sky, Alpha Protocol and Deus Ex all come to mind. Also, Dragon Age: Origins. And NWN2! I still think NWN2 has some of the best characters I've ever seen in a game. They always have something interesting to say. Khelgar and Sand, for example.

Dragon Age comes pretty close, and Jade Empire. Why is Bioware so damn good at plots and characters?

 

[Smooth Operator]

To me, the only good value comes with the Orange Box, compare that to any other game and you can quickly smell the ripoff factor.
That's why I always wait for sales, and my friend and I share games back and forth.

 

[NonyaZ]

Minecraft was worth every cent.

 

[RedDeadFred]

Just Cause 2 is definitely worth the price. I still play the ever loving crap out of that game.

I keep forgetting to pick this one up. Looks so much fun.

OT Oblivion. I have put more hours into that game than any other.

 

[RedDeadFred]

Minecraft was worth every cent.

Question. How powerful of a computer to you need for that. Don't bother with specs I don't know what that means. I am able to run Star Craft 2 on lowest settings on my laptop so would I be able to run Minecraft?

 

[shadow skill]

Too many games to name here. But most recently Crysis Maximum. The Witcher (I definitely need to make it a point to finish it.),Mass Effect 2, has its problems but is still a good game. Bad Company 2, Bayonetta and Shank.

 

[Lord Devius]

Golden Sun (and The Lost Age) ($10 + $20)
Tales of Symphonia ($20)
Chibi-Robo ($10)
Sonic Mega Collection ($10)
Legend of Dragoon (Free, as repayment for lending about $5)
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (Free + postage)

....the only one of these I don't still play is Chibi-Robo and that's because that got boring once I 100%'d it the first time.

Oh, and Minecraft, so far.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

anything I've bought by bethesda (so far)
Saints Row 2, Just Cause 1 & 2, WoW, Batman Arkham Asylum... Y'know, I've got way too many to put on this list... but a hell of a lot of games can be put on here...

[Bravo 21]

the orange box was worth every penny, and I still havent played all of it

 

[Vault101]

Mass effect 2

generaly I try and make sure Im going to like the game before I buy it

 

[Cazza]

The Orange Box
Gmod
L4D/L4D2
Fallout 3
GTA:SA
Mass Effect 2
etc

I feel was worth it

 

[Folio]

Metroid: Other M
Metal Gear Solid
Silent Hill
Super Smash Bros Brawl

Okay, Other M? Really?

The other titles I can understand, and Other M does look really good. But the Metroid fans are raging!

It was short, they ruined Samus' character, she wouldn't shut up about obvious things. She wasn't the independant heroin anymore, but just a woman who has to listen to her boss... and Malkovich isn't even her boss anymore!

Other M didn't gave me a satistfied feeling after playing it. :S And Nintendo put so much work in it.


Something worth the money? Super Metroid (something all Metroid fans agree with) and Tales of Symphonia, it's HUGE.

Brawl is my favourite game, though.

 

[the_maestro_sartori]

Starcraft 2 was worth getting on release.
As was Dragon Age: Origins.
And Oblivion.
And Mass Effect.
I don't regret paying full price for Saints Row 2, and certainly don't regret getting Zelda:OOT when it first came out

 

[dududf]

Supreme Commander

Another person who plays that game?!

*quickly runs off to add you to my friends list on steam, in the hopes I can get you to join me and a friend in a game of supcom later on in the week.*

 

[Alphavillain]

I got "Dirt 2" for my PC for £6 from D2D a few weeks ago. Best six quid I've ever spent.

Also, "Gears Of war" for PC for £15 recently.
