An old homeless man.
Since our topic today is buying cheap, I thought, what better way to start the article than a picture of a homeless man only moments after rummaging through a garbage can for a scrap to eat.
I hope I didn’t depress you too much, because we’re going to go right into the list. I did all the research so you didn’t have to. Everyone you know is going to want one of these as their Christmas gift, and at prices such as these, you might just consider getting them all. And obviously you shouldn’t feel limited from buying them for yourself. I mean, you’ve earned it, life is ruff. Sit back and enjoy a video game. Or don’t, and feel sorry for homeless people, it won’t kill you.
In no particular order, here we go!
1. Chrono Trigger (DS)
Unfortunately this is my only DS pick, (dem sh*ts be expensive.) But it’s one of the best games ever made. It is an RPG, with a unique battle system (That has been aped many times since.) It is good for hundreds of playtime hours, as it has multiple endings. And has a high re-play value. Buy it on Amazon Here!
2. Dragon Quest Swords (Wii)
Honestly, I think this game has the best use of the Wii remote to date. Of course this is an objective opinion, and since I’ve only played about 25 Wii games, it could be seriously flawed. I still think this is worth the investment if you haven’t tried it yet. The story is okay, but it is quite simple, and really fun to play through. Buy it on Amazon Here!
3. Final Fantasy X (PS2)
Theirs a slew of Final Fantasy games for under 20 bucks. (Especially if you don’t mind playing PS1) But I’m going for newer game systems, so Final Fantasy X is my top FF pick, although Final Fantasy XII is under 20 bucks as well, and is entertaining for a much longer time. I think that the story and basic game system of FFX is much better. Buy it on Amazon Here!
4. Dragon Quest VIII (PS2)
Somehow being sold for only $11.99? This may be a mistake, get it while the gettin’s good! Seriously, I am a huge fan of the Dragon Quest series, and this is my favorite one so far, (Although V is shaping up pretty good.), but that’s irrelevant, buy this game! Buy it on Amazon Here!
5. God of War 2 (PS2)
I hadn’t got my hands on this game until recently myself, and I have to admit, I was missing out. This game is plain funny . I can’t say for certain if the developers are in on the joke but it makes me laugh constantly. The brutality is so over the top, and your main character doesn’t have a mode besides loud, and screaming. Buy it on Amazon Here!
6. Metal Gear Solid The Essential Collection (PS2)
This is a “Solid” game. No pun intended. (I’m contractually obligated to write “No pun intended.”, even though I meant every word of the pun!) These games are all worth playing, it’s one of the best video game series out there. They are filled with so much vision, and a type of story telling that rarely is done well in video games. Best of all, this game is a delightful challenge, and all three of them for under 20 bucks! Buy it on Amazon Here!
(A notable mention for Metal Gear Solid 4, coming in at only $27.98
7. Resident Evil 4 (Wii)
Although you might hear me complain about not actually killing zombies. This game is motha f*ck*ng awesome. I hate to throw out words like, “My favorite in the series.”, and so I’m not gonna. But this is one of my favorites in the series, coming in right behind number 2. There’s a good reason that this series moved to third person shooter perspective. Because it’s awesome, and adding the Wiimote to the twist doesn’t hurt. Buy it on Amazon Here!
8. Bio Shock (PS3 & Xbox360)
The only game on the list that I actually haven’t played. But I’ve heard such great things I couldn’t leave it off the list, because I’m feeling pretty certain I’m going to be making the purchase myself. Buy it for PS3 Here!
9. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
Well at least this title should be on this list, but instead Nintendo is still charging almost 50 F*uck*ing dollars for it. What’s the deal? Well at least it’s a good game. I thought it was highly enjoyable, and with the second one coming out next year, definitely worth a test run. Buy it on Amazon Here!
10. Diablo 2 (PC)
That’s right motha F*cka’s this B*tch made the list. Sadly, this game has provided me more hours of entertainment than you can fit in an entire year. (That doesn’t include falling asleep on the keyboard while the game ran.) Every time I stop playing this I tell myself I’ll never go back. But I always do. And it’s always worth it. Although it takes a year out of your life, it gives it right back to you once you get level 99, I promise. Buy it on Amazon Here!
And to add a bit of personal advice, from one robot to another. If you don’t mind buying used games, there’s a slurry of awesome games you can get for under $5 dollars. Anyway get to the F*uck*ng store, and buy your B*tch*ing C**t some Motha F***** Video ***** So ***** Nuts ***** ***** Fuck!
