Games around the £20 mark that are worth picking up?

Gustov · 8 Sep 2011 at 20:02

Hey guys,

I simply refuse to pay full price for a video game nowadays. £45? LOL

Anyway, what games on the 360 would you say are worth picking up for around £20?

I currently have

BF2
Red Dead Redemption
Batman
GOW 2

Don't want any football games btw!

Good suggestion but not particularly a fan

Bulletstorm?

Too hard to go on *competitor* and filter games by price? It would save a lot of "I'm not interested in X" type responses.

Tales of Vesperia off Games on Demand, if you like JRPGs with a bit of humour, plenty of character and what is usually quite good voice acting.

You didn't really tell us which genres you like so here's a quick list with everything:

Rainbow 6 Vegas 2
NFS Hot Pursuit
Fallout 3 GOTY
Ninja Gaiden 2
Dead Space
Halo Reach
Bayonetta
Alan Wake
Bioshock 2
NFS Shift
FEAR 2
GRAW 2
Forza 3
PGR 4

Mafia II
Halo Reach
L.A Noire

Gustov · 8 Sep 2011 at 22:22

Bioshock 2 and FEAR 2 sound like great recommendations.

Also, what's better? Forza or PGR?

Sanchez · 8 Sep 2011 at 22:23

I'd substitute Bioshock 2 for the original. But otherwise good suggestions.

Dannyb01y · 8 Sep 2011 at 22:28

For £20 you could buy probably 90% of games released within the last few months backwards really so its hard to narrow that down!

Gustov · 8 Sep 2011 at 22:32

Completed the original Bioshock

Okay, going to get these 4 off ebay

Bioshock 2
Top Spin 4
Fear 2
Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 - LOVED the first one.

Edz · 8 Sep 2011 at 23:02

Bioshock 2 & fear 2 average at best

Maccy · 8 Sep 2011 at 23:03

Forza 3 would be a good shout if you like racing games. Much better than PGR in my opinion.

Forza is the more realistic and sophisticated choice, it's more simulation based than Project Gotham which is more of a balls out arcade racer. If you like something that's really easy to drop into and out of and you just want an arcade blast you should go for PGR. If you prefer tinkering and spending hours tuning and collecting cars then you should go with Forza.

You can usually get most new releases for £30-35. Can't think of anywhere that actually sells them for RRP aside from places like Littlewoods.

That said, waiting a few weeks tends to see the price tumble these days.

K1LLSW1TCH · 8 Sep 2011 at 23:13

I would also agree with that, I don't think I've spent more than £35 on a new game for quite a while. The *big* yearly games like Call of Duty and FIFA usually have the supermarkets trying to outdo each other with special offers as well so you can usually pick those up fairly cheap on launch.

Gustov · 8 Sep 2011 at 23:16

Looking to pick up GOW 3 Battlefield 3 and F1 11 this year too.

Thanks for the Forza recommendation guys.

Shamikebab · 8 Sep 2011 at 23:28

I wouldn't bother with Top Spin 4, gets really boring fast imo.

Vonhelmet · 9 Sep 2011 at 08:30

Portal 2 can be had new for £25.
