Top 5 “Bang for your Buck” Games

I was just thinking that a list like this would help with the holidays coming up and everything.  Its a list of the most playing you get out of a game for the cheapest amount of money spent.  

 

5.     The Elder Scrolls IV:  Oblivion (Greatest Hits PS3 $30 Target (currently sold out))

           This game come in number 5 due to its outrageous length.  This is a great RPG that you will spend hours of your life.  One of the amazing things about this game is that you can go anywhere you want to.  However I advise not getting too sidetrack if you ever want to actually finish the game.  The story line is fun and demonic.  You get to open up some sweet gates that take you to the realm of “Oblivion” (gee I wonder where they would get a name like that).  Anyway for only $30 bucks for the PS3 this game gives you many long hours.  

4.     BioShock (XBOX 360 $40 Target)

             Next on our countdown is BioShock for the XBOX 360.  Yes it is also out on the PS3 but its currently still priced at $60.  This game is an excellent First person shooter horror title.  As the game begins it thoroughly freaked me out, and as it continued it didn’t get any less scary.  But as you continued to upgrade weapons, the game gets better (which getting better from good means its really good) and more in-depth.  This game is on our list because of the “scare appeal” and the fact that you save $20 bucks on a game that could still be making $60.  

3.     Animal Crossing:  City Folk (Nintendo Wii  $50 Target)

             Coming in at #3 is the recently released Animal Crossing: City Folk.  This game just came out November 16th, so it is still its original price.  I put this game on the list due to its ability to draw in players and keep calling them back to decorate there house.  This game is about every day life.  Talk to you friends and neighbors, fish for money, plant flowers to spruce up your yard, buy a nice couch to match your rug and wallpaper, and much much more.  Warning:  This game may cause addiction.  Here it is at #3 because you can play it for the rest of your life, just don’t let it replace your real life.  

2.     Resident Evil 4:  Wii Edition (Nintendo Wii $20 Wal-Mart)

             There was a big toss up in my mind about what took first and what was slid into second.  And seeing as RE4 is here at 2 apparently it didn’t win.  Not that it wins a prize if it comes in first.  Anyway this game was WAY worth it when it came out for $30 bucks and now that its down to $20 you’d have to be either a fool or conservative not to buy this game.  Good classic shooting zombies game.  It utilizes the Nintendo’s Wii motion controls pretty well, its still one of my favorite Wii games.  This game obviously made it here to number 2 cause its ridiculously low price and amazing gameplay.  

1.     The Orange Box (XBOX 360 $20 Target)

             When I started this list I knew that this would be number 1, that is until I thought about RE4 then I had some doubts, but my mind is made.  This is without a doubt the best deal.  5 amazing games on one disc should definitely be worth more than $20 bucks.  But hey, I’m not going to complain.  I bought this game when it was at its original price, and it was still by far worth it.  In this game is Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress.  All those Half-Life 2 games are different games and Portal, O man, Portal is an amazing puzzle game that literally baked my noodle for me.  Just the concept of making portals basically anywhere took me a while to get used to.  Team Fortress is a FPS that is only online so if you don’t have XBOX Live, STILL GET THIS GAME.  Its an amazing deal.  5 Great games, one cheap price.  WOW.  

 

            So there you have it, Clixgames Top 5 “Bang for your Buck” games.  I would like to let you know that these prices listed are when buying New games from stores.  I didn’t take into consideration the fact that you can buy used games from various game stores.  Also the prices are rounded to even numbers most of the games are 1 to 10 cents cheaper than actually listed.
