Your last three game purchases.. and were they worth it?

[Odd Water]

Plants vs. Zombies (for Xbox 360)
$15.00 (1200 MS points)
Very much worth it. I'm loving this game.

ClapTrap's New Robot Revolution (DLC for Borderlands)
Forgot what cost/points where on this one.
Not really. I was just hoping and expecting more from this DLC after how big and changing the Armory one was. Its just a few new maps and missions and repainted foes mostly. After the Secret Armory one with new foes, vehicles, weapons, levels, etc, it just came off dull and too easy.

Crackdown 2
$30.00 roughly (bought it used at a Gamestop with discount card)
Not really. Lot of action but really not that much more to it to keep me interested. Its just mindless chaotic fun, and only so much of that I can handle before its boring.

Next purchases on my list are Fallout New Vages and Fable 3

 

[imnot]

Halo reach:
Fuck yes

Avp deulux 2000: well it was like £1 so yes

portal; indeed it was

 

[Dutchj]

Lemme see here, I'm not gonna include my pre-order of Black Ops for obvious reasons:

Pokémon HeartGold: Yeah, even though I still haven't beat Red

Minecraft: Definitely, it has been awesome for several months now, and I'm sure many more will follow.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2: At first it did, but the fact that it was obviously developed for consoles kind of kills its merit on PC. So that's a no.

 

[Sir-jackington]

Godfather 2 - hells yeah
Red Alert 3 - amazingly haven't played it yet
Dragon Age - only played it for a few hours and aint really got into it

 

[philzibit]

Fable 2 - It was a better experience than it was my first time playing through, but I still can't get sucked into it.

Fallout: New Vegas - Very much worth it, although I just can't believe the amount of bugs in it. Also, some what disappointed that there aren't any vehicles when they said there was gonna be earlier this year.

Undead Nightmare DLC - Meh. To much collecting and busy work. If there are zombies to be shot, I don't wanna run all over looking for flowers.

 

[x0ny]

Aliens vs Predator - No, marine missions felt uninspired and outdated. Predator campaign was too short. Alien was difficult to control when walking on walls/ceilings.

Need for Speed Shift - Not really a huge racing game fan, but it's still fairly good fun, I suck though. But this game is exactly what I want from a racing game, being able to upgrade parts in your car like in Gran Turismo. But what I don't like about GT is it feels so slow.

MAG - Yeah... not bad. I knew before I bought it that the start was going to be painful. I've stuck with it, and I'm getting better and the hard work is paying off... slowly.

 

[Allevil]

Starcraft 2, Civ 5 and Arkham Asylum. Definately worth it.

 

[WakeTheDead1]

medal of honor - yes

buzz quiz tv - good fun yes

sonic 4 download - yeah

 

[HitsWithStyxx]

Halo: Reach - Great fun for multiplayer; falls a tad flat on solo campaign. Still fun though.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West - Good for one playthrough. Sold it within a week. Definitely worth renting.

Fable II: GotY Edition - I've owned Fable II before, but I traded it in for cash. Seeing I could buy it again WITH the two DLC Packs on disc (achievements included) for £10, I figured it'd be worth the expense. I'm loving it all over again.

 

[Gralian]

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.
A worthwhile purchase? Absolutely; i just got 1000 G on it a couple days back. I actually really enjoyed that game despite the 'it's not a Castlevania!' outcry from fans. The combat was visceral, the logic puzzles were thoughtful and the graphics were beautiful. Really liked that one.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.
I haven't played this one much yet. Not because it's a bad game, but because as it's a short game i dole out the time i spend on it and games of a similar length in bite size increments of about 30 minutes or so a day (maybe longer on weekends) which really helps to extend value as opposed to gorging myself on the whole game all at once and finishing it. Trip and Monkey are entertaining characters that i feel carry the story all by themselves. The combat is fairly simple (weak attack, strong attack, block and long range blasts) but not Fable level of simple. You have to know when to block, dodge, when to use light and heavy attacks and so on. So there is still a level of challenge there. I'm enjoying Enslaved's story so far ans the game as a whole reminds me of Jak and Daxter, a series i loved on the ps2. Also, who doesn't like Andy Serkis?

Fallout: New Vegas
Currently playing the hell out of this one, and i love it. I've played all of the Fallout games (even Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel, that weird spinoff on the ps2 / xbox) so i'm a huge sucker for the lore and game world. I also played Oblivion and Fallout 3 to death, and despite its buggy nature and arguably outdated graphics i still like the engine. It suits the game and the atmosphere. I've only had it lock up on me twice so far after about twenty hours of gameplay and other than that, no gamebreaking bugs or glitches. Either i have a good copy, or the last patch fixed a lot of things i was unaware of. Also note i'm playing it on the xbox slim, and i've heard people report that the game runs a lot smoother on the slim than original 360s, though this is an unsubstantiated claim and i read numerous times the insides of the slim is the same of the original, with the hard drive and network adapter being the only exceptions. Anyhow, i love the game, the gameplay and the game world and i see myself playing this for a good few weeks yet.

They've been some pretty sweet purchases alright!

 

[The Bum]

Fallout newvegas-Hell yes!

Minecraft-Yes

Red dead redmpiton-Yes

 

[AngelOfBlueRoses]

Dragon Age: Origins - Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes. I loved the game.

Final Fantasy 9 - Yeah, I'm only like 10 years late to the party, but I bought this game with barely any prior knowledge of the FF series and I'll say that FF9 has become my favorite game. Never has a game touched me as much as FF9 has and never before has a game actually made me cry. The "You're Not Alone" segment of the game just... was so powerful.

Final Fantasy 7 - Eh, it was ten bucks, but I don't really feel like finishing it. I should have played this before FF9 because FF9 got my expectations too high for what a FF game should be like.

 

[SpireOfFire]

im going with my last four (just because i can):
1. mafia 2: ehh, not really
2. nhl 11: fuck yeah
3. castlevania: yeah, i guess, maybe.
4. new vegas: fuck yeah

 

[Falseprophet]

Bayonetta - I'd say it was worth it. Really challenging, and the cutscenes made me smile even if the story made no goddamn sense. I liked Bayonetta as a character, even if everyone and everything else around her was silly, story-wise.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - Bought it on PSN for $10 Canadian right before the movie came out, and it was absolutely worth every cent. A great homage to the 8-bit beat-'em-up era, faithful to the spirit of the comics, and a fun game besides.

Batman: Arkham Asylum - Bought this last month (hey, only a year after everyone else) for $30, and for once something lived up to all the hype. Fantastic!

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Star Wars The Force Unleashed II-Awesome. Completly worth it.

Enslaved Odyssey To The West-Extremely worth it.

And Silent Hill Origins-Only good for HUGE fans of Silent Hill

 

[Mr Companion]

In order of first to latest.

Sid Miers Civilisation 5- In a way, yes it was fun, and lasted a long time. So yes.

Amnesia- Well I would tell you but I just cant remember... Just kidding. It is very interesting, but perhaps could have been a little cheaper.

Fallout New Vegas- Is really good so far. Hardcore mode using no guns or clothes on my first try? Finally a challenge!

 

[Amondren]

Fable 3- Defiantly worth it
Fallout NV-yes its great
Super Scribble-naughts-awesome for a time killer in the car

 

[umpufnufguf]

metro 2033 - very atmospheric, and some good stealth aspects, wort the 10 quid i spent.

dead rising 1 - bullshit on toast. i fail to see how you can make zombies not scary... but i did get it for free.

fable 3 - short, schizophrenic, and over priced for the content it offers, and i had such high hopes... damn you Peter Molyneux!
