I don't really mind. I work at gamestop so my employee discount plus the edge card get me 25 percent off. I picked up Little Big Planet and Fable II for about $40 each. The used price tagged stickers are easy to peel off and the discs are usually in mint condition. When it comes to PS3 games I'm definately not skeptical since blu-rays are almost impossible to scratch.
You have no idea how many people think they can buy two 10 dollar games and get a 50 dollar game for free. Not that I mind explaining (well maybe I do just a little), but if these people stopped to think for a second they'd realize that's too good to be true. Anyone with good common sense can figure out that that simply doesn't make business sense for Gamestop, or for any business. And when they do find out its the cheapest one you get free they get angry and say its not a good deal.
Anyway....I took mirror's edge, resistance 2, and got MGS4 free. Pretty damn good deal considering I got about 6 bucks off mirror's edge and resistance 2 each with the edge card (too bad my employee discount didn't work in combination with the promo :( )
RE4 was a great game, definately one of my favorites of all time, but not scary at all. I haven't played the Fatal Frame games, but will definately pick them up if I ever find them used (found them online for $40....no thanks).
The first Resident Evil doesn't scare now, but I was only around 7 or 8 when it first came out, and it traumatized me for a few years.
Dead space is an awesome game with single player only. It has several difficulties and many achievements that require more than one play through the game.
So far I've seen 3 difficulty settings: easy, medium, and hard. I'm currently playing on medium and am pleased with the difficulty. Its not brutal, but still manages to keep things interesting. I can't wait to try hard mode.
Bioshock 2 would be great. One of those games I actually see myself paying retail for, and I NEVER pay retail for games (L4D will be an exception...maybe).
Some games are definately worth the cost. Between the "instruments" and downloaded songs, I must've spent at least $300 on Rock Band, but its a game my friends and I have played to death. There's always the option of buying games used or searching through ebay and amazon. You could find some good deals there.
