Okay, so I was trying to think of a cheap game I could get as a Christmas present but I didn't know which one to ask for. I only want one and something cheap. I'm not big on the expensive games.

So, if someone could suggest something really fun (I like any kind of game) that is $30 and under, I'd appreciate some ideas.

Here are the games I already have:

  1. Assassin's Creed
  2. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
  3. MotorStorm
  4. Need for Speed: ProStreet
  5. Rock Band
  6. Guitar Hero: World Tour

based on what games you already have, I'd say get Devil May Cry 4 (around 35$), or try a shooter; Resistance 1 or Unreal Tournament 3 can both be found for 30$ or under.

I admit to never playing a Rainbow 6 game lol. Not sure if I'd like it or not. Right now, the one that looks the most appealing to me is Burnout: Paradise. I've rented it twice now lol. I just want to see what others think would be good. Something cheap.

Hello fellow cheap skate. Orange Box at $20 is an awesome value. Burnout Paradise is also an awesome game with great replay value. Looking at your list, you surprisingly lack a shooter, so I'd suggest Resistance. I advise not to get R6LV.. its a pretty bland and outdated game, theres better options

Haha, yeah. I'm not much for shooter games because they all seem the same to me. I should be getting Fallout 3 for Christmas. But I want a cheap game since that's an expensive one... a second game for cheap is good. What makes Resistance a good game?

[QUOTE="BidFarewell"] What makes Resistance a good game?

It's actually quite similar to other FPS's just with incredibly fun to use guns. Awesome graphics. And a nice challenge without being too hard. I would recommend getting it if you are ever in the mood for a FPS.

Well, the reason I'm asking is because when I played the demo it wasn't all that exciting to me.

I dont own it, just played the demo. I wouldve gotten it if it had price drop earlier, but by the time it went to $30, there were too many better games. You should really pick up Orange Box, its one of the best games ever and the ps3 inferiorities were greatly exxagerated

Yeah, I heard good things about Orange Box but I think that's the thing with Half-Life 2 in it. I've never played Half-Life lol. I usually stick to RPG or racing... but I do like any other kind of games. I just usually only BUY those kinds.

Actually, I'm up for anything for this Christmas. And I probably won't ever get Resistance 2. See, I don't have the kind of money to keep on buying games. All the games I have were gifts lol. But when I get a game as a gift, I usually ask for one I just can't wait for at all. So nah, I may never get Resistance 2.

Nah, all I have is a crappy wireless card for internet on my desktop.

Too bad I can't find a way to use the card on my PS3 :(

I also don't know, yet, if I can find a connection from a neighbor because my girlfriend has my PS3 and I haven't had a chance to scan this new area we've moved to.

..i would go with assassins creedLP4EVA2005

Why on earth would you say "..i would go with assassins creed" when 'clearly', let me repeat myself, 'VERY CLEARLY' he has listed assassins creed already as an exception and happens to be No 1. on his list. Gamers like you in this society are just .... so simple-minded, imbeciles, lamebrained, cake, puerile... or simple as 'dumb' or negligent.

If you look on pg 2, it can be seen through TC's posts that he only recently put his list of games in the first post, and considering that was one of the first suggestions, the list obviously wasn't edited into the first page. So, just relax and read the topic before you criticize anyone ;)

TC, if I would go with Burnout Paradise as you say you like rpg's and racers and, considering your gonna get Fallout 3, you may want a new racing game so rpg's/action games won't get to boring and if you ever find yourself wanting to play anything but an action game, you can play your racing game.

Umm, because I didn't have it listed at first when he said it? Shouldn't have taken a genius to see that I edited the post. But you didn't stop to think that maybe that's what I edited, huh? Nooo, you just wanted to attack someone. lol

And I even mentioned in other posts that I put the games up there... AFTER making the post.

Yeah, I'll go with Burnout: Paradise.

Thanks, everyone.
