$32.41 To Spend On Videogames

[Samen]

What do you suggest, Newgrounds?
I'm clearing out my wallet, and an trying to burn up $32.41 of old Gamestop Giftcards.

To clear things up:
I have an XBox 360, Wii, Mac (limited in terms of PC games), a DS, GameBoy Advance, and occasionally my brother's N64 and NES.

Some games I own (so don't bother suggesting them)
Cod 2-4
Assassin's Creed
Crackdown
Loz: Twilight Princess
Loz: Ocarina Of Time
The Orange Box
Left 4 Dead

Braid.

Buy this game.

Buy it.

Buy it now.

You won't get an experience quite like it.

Do they sell hard copies of the Mac version?
And if they do, would they have it at GameStop?

'Cuz if not, I would have no way of getting it.

Can you not get, like, Xbox Live gift cards?

You mentioned you have an Xbox 360.

Use giftcards to buy other girftcards?
GENIUS!

Although, I'd be tied down with a lot of Microsoft Points if I got $30 of them.
Moar suggestions?

Oblivion.

Keep doing this in all the GameStops in the area, then repeat at the first GameStop. Essentially this saves your 34 dollars for a good AAA title you've been waiting for to come down in price or something along those lines, then you pick it up used and never look back. Just make sure to return each game within the return period. :3

Dude, that's so shady. It's just another form of stealing/piracy. Why the fuck Americans are always trying to get something for free is something I will never understand.

Hey the only thing I pirated is Morrowind because Bethesda doesn't care, and Halo 1 because 15 bucks was too much at the time. Music doesn't count.

You're a disgrace.

[Samen]

Hey guys,
You can talk about the ethical implications of stealing software (even something a simple as Jezuz's plan) elsewhere.
In the mean time, let's get some discussion about great games that are in the mid range for price going.
Bah. I just saw BBM lock a thread just like this, so if he kept it alive that means he thought it had some merit to it. SO LET'S DO HIM PROUD AND KEEP THIS SHIT ON TOPIC.

You know.

There are people on the bottom rung of mega corporations.

They're going to be the ones to suffer.

If a company makes less money, what's the first thing they do? Fire some dudes.

[cmarkham2007]

Mercenaries 2, World in flames ended up costing me like $15 used, was a good investment. You can also get mass effect for cheap also

I played the demo of Mercenaries 2 and didn't like it, but Mass Effect is a definite if I can get my older brother to go with me.

I lol'd.

[Matt2358]

So it has to be something you can buy at gamestop?

Here's a better Idea. Don't buy anything, download a ROM for Mother 3 and an emulator(as fell as the fan made translation patch), and play that game. The only reason I suggest you do that instead of legally getting it is the game was only released in Japan for some reason. Its an amazing game though.

[iMini]

Team Fortress 2 hands down.

Fu-

Get it on your Mac, using a program called crosswire or something, or bootcamp.

[Yiffy]

Zelda Wind Waker, one of the best.

[Nodarg]

I would recommend either Mass Effect or Braid. To be honest though, Braid is definitely a more memorable experience. GET THIS GAME! =D

[JaY11]

Condemned is like, pretty cheap. It's a great game.

Already have it.
And to people suggesting PC games, just getting Windows alone would break my budget, even though I could easily run it.

But it sounds like Braid and Mass Effect are good choices.

[Matt2358]

Can you even buy Braid at stores? I thought it was only online.

[scetch00]

Just got 3 games.

Get two games worth $15 at Gamestop, you'll get a third free.

Lot's of games really cheap now.

NUH UH.
How long is this deal lasting? It it across the entire chain, or just locally?

3 days. Ends 21st I think. It's globally wherever there is a GameStop. I went to a U.S. GameStop BTW if that matters. Not sure anywhere else.

Not a problem. Lowest value of whichever 2 used games you buy will get you a free game of that value or less.

He is, I only pirate games that I have bought already. It's only stealing if you use a keygen or a crack. Same thing with music, only albums I've bought and lost/broke somehow.

[Tranquillex]

Honestly I suggest going with an RPG like Mass effect or Oblivion you'll get you play time in for the money you'll spend. Mass effect has a great story arch while Oblivion as much more character depth. Mass effect is the first in a trilogy so if you like the first you can always expand to the next as they come out.

My 11 yr old brother got gears 1 for about 30 bucks (singapore dollars)
