I have $20 in free money to spend at Circuit City after work today (rewards cert). I am looking to buy a budget title. I’m console agnostic, I’m not caring too much about genre right now, and my collection is presented here if anyone really wants to help fill an obvious gap.
I doubt you’ll find them, but I highly recommend Amplitude and Frequency; two games by Harmonix before they “hit it big” with Guitar Herio. Both great music games.
Oh, Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat is fantastic and may be that price since you already have the bongos.
You have a great collection; most of my recommendations were already in your list. :)
Kirby Air Ride is $20 and is possibly my favorite non-import game on the system. Others will tell you to stay away, but they hate you and don’t want you to have any fun.
EDIT: Oh shit, you don’t have We <3 Katamari. That’s the one to buy. Fantastic and much better than the original.
I took at look Circuit City’s website and saw that GTA San Andreas for the PC is $19.99. So that’s your best bang for the buck right there. Farcry’s also twenty bucks if you’d prefer that.
I bought God of War; won’t get a chance to play it until the wife calls it a night and I can retreat to the home theater and crank it.
Keep the suggestions going, though - I am always looking for budget games since the kids take most of my money. Another suggestion was that the GCN Resident Evil 4 just dropped to $20. I would have picked it up had the CC I went to had it in stock, but they didn’t, so Kratos walked out with me.
Pikmin 1 is 20 bucks now, it doesn’t have the replay value of 2 though. If you want to shell out 10 more dollars, the castlevania double pack should be a good buy.
