Since summer has started for me, I was looking for some dirt cheap single player games on the 360 and DS games with some games I am going to trade in. Suggestions Please!
I've seen Mario 64 DS go for $5. The controls aren't as bad as some people say; I just wish there was a way to disable that horrible useless dash attack...
Um...they were pretty bad. Great game for the nostalgia, but I don't think I ever got used to the controls. Or I got used to the controls, but it was never 'comfortable'. It's hard to explain.
I found the controls good enough to whiz through the game with all stars in around 6 hours. Good port.
You beat all of Mario 64 with all stars in 6 hours?! Can't believe it. That's 120 stars at 3 min a piece without any slip-ups. But it is a good game for DS. My favorite was probably Speed Racer, Metroid was pretty good too.
I'll just list off any old games that are most likely under $20 for the 360 that I enjoyed: Dead Rising (if you're going to get any of them off this list, make it this one) BioShock (ok, maybe this one instead) Fallout 3 (or this one) Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Stuntman: Ignition Burnout: Revenge Battlefield 2: Modern Combat Skate 1/2 Lost Odyssey Gears of War 1 (don't know about 2's price, but it's an amazing game as well) GTA IV Condemned: Criminal Origins (2 might be pretty cheap by now too) Assassin's Creed 1 (2 isn't cheap yet) Left 4 Dead 1 DS: Phoenix Wright 1-3 are under 20 The World Ends With You Call of Duty 4 and World at War (Mobilized is still full price) Mario Kart DS Dementium (Dementium 2's out! Who knew!) Touch the Dead (it's gotta be pretty cheap by now... kind of a meh game, but I enjoyed it) Resident Evil: Deadly Silence (one of the best DS games out there) Final Fantasy III (don't know about IV's price) Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time I think that should be good enough
Actually it's 150. Maybe 6 hours was a bit ambitious, but it was within one day. Did half, had dinner, did the other half. I've played 64 through countless times so there's nothing I really mess up on.
I got a copy of TES:Morrowind for about $7, it's a lot better than Oblivion IMO. Halo:CE, good classic L4D2 Modern Warfare 1, i'm pretty sure they're about $15-20 The Orange Box
Yup. FPS/RPG, but I'm looking for single player (friend gave me borderlands for a month, loving it!) You Pwn good sir. Except I hate Oblivion for some reason; is fallout 3 different enough to get? Edit: and i don't like the camera/walking controls of gears.
Why don't you like Oblivion? If it's because it's too simple, get Morrowind. If it's because it's too complicated... I would stay away from Morrowind.
People might tell you they're similar... 'cause they are, but I hate Oblivion too, and Fallout 3 is one of the best games I've ever played. It's a strange phenomenon.
I can see why you would hate Oblivion. I personally like it, but it gets a bit slow or boring at points, like when you have to do those quests for that whack job in Skingrad. It gets a bit boring. Plus, the leveling system is straight up weird. Fallout 3 is a bit more action-packed, has much fewer slow moments, and a leveling system that's really easy to understand. Plus, it has the Bloody Mess perk, which should be enough for anyone. And I'm sure there's plenty of stuff on that list. I also forgot to mention Devil May Cry IV and Call of Duty 4, World at War, and 2, all very good games.
RPG I loved for the 360: Eternal Sonata, get it. The First Mass Effect and Gears of War 1+2 should be cheap as well. DS: The World Ends With You and if you feel like giving a quirky music game a try, then pick up Elite Beat Agents. I don't feel like repeating other peoples list lol, seems like most(that I would've recommended) has been mentioned. P.S. I hated Oblivion as well.
Looks like I will check fallout 3 then, and @somerandomdude, looking for more single player games becuase I don't have to worry about the multiplayer community being very small and very amazing. And I have cod's 3-6. But loving your list!
Oh, for single player, go with Fallout 3, Bioshock, Lost Odyssey, Devil May Cry 4, GTA IV, Burnout Revenge, Dead Rising, and Stuntman: Ignition. I played all of those (except GTA which I havn't played yet) on single player even though some had multiplayer, and I never got bored. Check them out.
