Best Gaming Deals Ever - Mar 23, 2004 18:18
I don' t know about you guys (and gals) but I hunt around for the best deals on games... and I get some dirt cheaps prices. What are some of the gaming finds that you' ve made of games that the price was unbeatable? If you have links to sales on internet feel free to give them to others so they can take advantage.

I got Aggressive Inline and Mat Hoffman' s Pri BMX 2 for $7.50 each (Canadian) from a local Blockbuster (they where both used games and had no instructions though).

Here are some good deals for people that live in Canada (or people that don' t mind buying games from a Canadian store):

The best deal ever is VF4 Evo in the US for $19.99.

That much videogame awesomeness, with infinite replay value, finely tuned to perfection, and a bonus 10th Anniversary disc bundled in, for a pitiful $20, is the best deal ever.

And those are quite good too.

Oh yeah, I was going to get that game when it was first released but I forgot all about it. I own Virtua Fighter 4 so is this game still worth getting? It' s $29.99 Candian (which is a good thing) so I' m probably picking it up soon.

I picked up Red Fraction 2 at Toys-R- Us for $9.99 Canadian and a demo disk of Ghost Recon Thunder Island (first level playable only) for 1 cent.

Recent Bargains picked up include Project Zero/Fatal Frame (xb) £7

Resident Evil 0 (GC) £9.99

Prince of Persia: Sands of time (PS2) £17.99


I have a problem. If I see a bargain, I buy it impuslively, regardless of what other games I have that need finishing

As for VF, a lot of people said that they didn' t " get it" unitl maybe VF2 or VF3tb. I " got it" since it came out on the 32x all those years ago: the depth is unquantifiable. I don' t care what anyone says, the learning curve isn' t steep, not in the slightest. There' s a microwave in your head when you first play VF - it hums away until - PING - you get it. At least that' s how my otherwise useless friend described it.

Even better is that there' s always room to get better (though I confess I' ve been using Jacky ever since getting VF4 evo...the shame).

Still, I' m annoyed at having to play it in 50hz, it' s slow and just generally a bit sluggish when compared to 60hz (which despite me thinking it did, my TV does not support - at least not in colour)

Prince of Persia was in my top 5 games of 2003. UbiSoft was just awarded two distinctive awards from their colleagues for PoP; in the categories of game design and...umm....I forget the other one. But I can' t wait for the sequel.

It sounds to me like you could do with buying an RGB Scart cable. It should do the trick and you' ll be playing VF4Evo in 60Hz goodness in no time.

I played Max Payne 2 and beyond good and evil for PC
Both were good but both were pretty short.
I beat Max Payne in about 9 hours and BG&E in about 10-11
When you beat Payne you do get a couple of unlocked stuff I didn' t think they were all that great and when I beat BG&E I did so with almost 100%
My roommate beat freedom fighters. I could ask him about it but he isn' t here right now.

I hardly ever find good deals for games, but a friend of mine by the name of Rolltide finds them all the time. He' s found some way to beat the system at Target...something to do with having them do a raincheck for a game he knows will sell out, then they have to give him a reduced rate for any game he wants, thus letting him pick out the game he wants for 15 bucks or so. I really have no idea how he does it, just a sort of outline.
