Best Bargain Bin 360 games under $20

[biggles]

Recently I've started playing the 360 more. You see, I was one of many who up until recently had console crashes and the red ring. The console is finally starting to act normally. So I picked up the following games:
The Darkness $10 Frys
Forza 2 $8 Game Crazy
Tomb Raider Anniversairy $20

All excellent games for the money. Side note: Blockbuster charges $9 to rent a 360 game so any decent game under ten bucks is worth a look.

So, what are your suggested bargin bin titles? Let's hear about the best 360 games under $20 or so.

[ClearM4]

Some of my favorites

Kameo (~$10)
Condemned (~$15)
CoD2 (~$10) (Skip CoD3)
Crackdown (~$20)
Prey

[Technoob]

crackdown is 11.00 shipped at buy.com right now

Two great games at those prices

Dead or Alive 4
Dead Rising
PGR3
Lost Planet

It might be tough to find, but Viva Pinata is under 20 now. It's already been mentioned, but Crackdown is a lot of fun too.

[tpfaff]

+1 for cameo and dead rising

[Babbster]

Forza 2 $8 Game Crazy
Just a note: At Gamestop, you can get the Forza 2/Marvel Ultimate Alliance combo pack for $10. Interestingly, last Sunday when I went out to grab it, I decided to stop at a Game Crazy which was closer, and they were trying to sell the combo pack for $30. I've got a feeling that either a) Game Crazy prices vary widely between locations or b) Game Crazy never re-prices their stock. If it's the latter, they lost a sale because stores were starting to close, and I wasn't going to waste any time before the mall went dark. :)

Oh yeah, and I'm quite enjoying Blue Dragon, which I got for $19.99 at Fry's...I also got Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 for the same price, but I couldn't honestly recommend that to anyone (I was a nerd for the first one, and this one hasn't caught on with me).

I picked up condemned 2 and rainbow six vegas for $10 off gamefly recently.. keep an eye on their sales, sometimes they have stuff very cheap.. used stuff of course..

[cougarsoccer]

dead rising(great game)
crackdown
need for speed most wanted
fight night round 3
and i saw lego star wars the complete collection at my gamestop for 20(lego games are digital crack)

Just picked up Blue Dragon, The Darkness and Conan for $10 each brand new from Fred Meyers last week. Havent started any of them yet though. Heard Blue Dragon was decent, but not great. But for $10..why not.

The Club

Earth Defense Force 2017

[Mac[X-D]]

and i saw lego star wars the complete collection at my gamestop for 20(lego games are digital crack)

i couldn't agree more i have played and completed all lego games, i bought lego star wars the complete saga for my 360 when i first got it and and spent hours finishing it, then lego indy (PS3) and lego batman (360)

[derek533]

Splinter Cell DA
Virtua Tennis 3
Rockstar's Table Tennis
Saint's Row
Frontlines: Fuel of War (was $10 at BB last week) crazy price for an insanely good game IMO.
PGR3 and PGR4
Test Drive Unlimited
Bioshock (now a greatest hit for $30 but you can find it for $20 if you look)

Also right now, you can get Clancy's End War and the wireless microphone for $50 at BB, effectively making the price of each $25 which is a steal since the game came out a little over a month ago and is still $60 at most places. Check the hot deals thread for the thread I posted about this one. I

[erwos]

You can usually get Pure for less than $20.

[Netrat33]

I just picked up Conan from bestbuy for $7 ($14 and they had some thing going on "everything on this table half off)

I have to say. I'm liking it alot. Suuure it's a God of War rip off and no where near as good....but it's still a good game! especially for $7 or $14

[IcedEmotion]

I got Devil May Cry 4 for $20 last week at Best Buy in Canada, it was just a sale though but it might drop again soon.

[JAW]

The arcade disc that comes with the 360 arcade can be had for $5 at gamestop. Great starter disc to get into xbox live arcade games. Comes with luxor, pacman championship edition, feeding frenzy and boom boom rocket. Feeding frenzy is addicting.

Arcade volume I is around $10 i think and is also good, has geometry wars, poker, bejeweled and some others.

[Creepingdeath1977]

I picked up
Lego Star Wars Trilogy for 19.00
Crackdown for 12.00
NFS:Most Wanted 19.00
For my 6 year old for Christmas yesterday at worstbuy.

And I picked up NCAA '09 for 38.00 for myself also;)

[Blauman]

Another +1 for Kameo. Even after all these other games have come out for the 360 Kameo still holds own in the graphics department. Although really easy I had a good time playing it when I first got my 360. And definitely Bioshock. I am probably one of the few that is just now playing it. I have had it since last year but never had the time to play it until recently, and well what everyone says about it is true.

[JonnyK]

I just picked up culdcept saga and beautiful katamari for $17 each

[hdawg06]

Crackdown, Call of Duty 2, Saints Row, and Dead Rising are all below $20 new. Those are all pretty good games, but I'd recommend all but Dead Rising for sure. Dead Rising is a hit or miss. Either you will love it, or hate it.

[SPARTAN VI]

If by "re-price their stock" you mean, they don't re-label, then I bet that's it. It happens everywhere. Walk into Frys, wireless adapter labeled $99.99, comes out to $89.99 at the register. Or Gamestop has Hunter for $5.99, comes out to $3.99 at the register. :)

[Technoob]

but I'd recommend all but Dead Rising for sure..

blasphemy!

The arcade pack-in disk is a bunch of trial-ware. I've seen it at my local gamestop for 2.99. I just picked up Unplugged vol 1 for $10 and it's pretty nice for the price just for Geometry Wars for me and Bejeweled 2 for the g/f.

i think your getting confused because that disc isn't trail versions of the game. they are the full games included. It does have some trial versions but it's definately 5 full games.

[nightwalker]

It might be tough to find, but Viva Pinata is under 20 now. It's already been mentioned, but Crackdown is a lot of fun too.

I saw Viva Pinata and 2 other games in a triple pack for 30 bucks at Walmart tonight.. was tempted.

[Zepher]

Blockbuster has previously played games starting at $14.99 and it's buy one get one free.
GTA4 is a $14.99 game.

[ClearM4]

Blockbuster has previously played games starting at $14.99 and it's buy one get one free.
GTA4 is a $14.99 game.

My BBV has buy one get 1 free on all video games $14.99 or less, but I am not sure which blockbusters this affects(my area only?) and selection varies greatly by store. I picked up GTA4 + Orange Box for $15 ($7.50 each) and FEAR Files + Forza 2 for $10 ($5 each). There were many other average to less than popular xbox360 games for under $15 at my BBV.

Other xbox360 games I remember seeing for less than $15 at my BBV (in Evesham, NJ):

Chromehounds
Armored Core 4
Kameo
PGR4
Dark Sector
Monster Madness
Tony Hawk 6
Conan
Prey
Earth Defence Force 2017
A few racing games
Some older sport titles
Some kids games (like Cars)

These are just the ones I remember

[Demon10000]

Wish my blockbuster had those deals. GTA4 was $39.99 last weekend when I checked, and everything else was so overpriced I just walked out.

[Malbadawi]

hmm bb seems to have great offer might have to give them a visit soon!

[Catch22sk8r]

yeah i'd check blockbuster.

i got gta4 , $15 , and crackdown $9 , buy 1 get 1 free. but other than those 2 games most the games they had kinda sucked, i was hoping for a graw2 or vegas 1 but mostly it was condemned2 , dark sector , and some other games i didn't really want.

they also were really pushing it, every aisle had a buy 1 get 1 $15 printed sign on front.

[sirsnits]

+1 for cameo and dead rising

Definitely kameo, My first disc got scratched cause i tilted my xbox (whoops), but i liked the game so much that i went back to store-mart and bought another copy.

Its short but pretty creative and very fun.

[Capfarland]

Ace Combat

[Maximus825]

Crackdown and Mass Effect will keep you entertained on the cheap.

[grendel240sx]

I didn't see Call of Juarez mentioned. From the last thread like this, seemed everyone was suggesting it.

I haven't had a chance to buy it yet... just saying I hear it's good :p

[DarkStar02]

Time Shift

[Technoob]

the darkness too

[Golden Monkey]

Saints Row is the best $10 you will EVER spend on a 360 game. Crackdown is a close second.

[meatycheesyboy]

Stranglehold can be found for about $15 I think.

It's a short game but it's a blast to play through and has a fair bit of replayability IMO.

Another good cheap one would be Blitz the League if you like arcade sports games.
