I was over at my local best buy and I found serious sam on the Bargain games rack, which was great b/c I have been looking for this game forever, it seems. Best $10 i ever spent, and it was the only one in there, too.

Granted, the graphics are a bit meh (partly b/c I've been playing Hl2 for the past week and my standards have risen considerably) but the game is still incredibly fun.

Post your best software bargain bin find.

Bargain bin is for poor people. *notices he has no money* Damn!

Serious Sam had the best graphics like EVER when it came out. I remember seeing it and like creaming myself over the water and texturing and all the sexy everything..and uhh uhh uhhhhhhhh there I go again...



I see Serious Sam new for like 5.99 at EBGames and Gamestop. Serious Sam Gold (SS1 and SS2) is only 10 bucks :p




Black and White - $ .50 (Used)
Morrowind GotY edition (with both expansions) - $10.00 (New)
Soldier of Fortune II: $1.50 (Used)
Tron 2.0 - $2.50 (Used)
Return to Castle Wolfenstein - $1.75 (Used)
Alien vs. Predator - $1.00 (Used)
Rainbow Six 3: Ravenshield - $2.00 (Used)

I got a few more for around those prices but I can't remember off the top of my head.

No Ove Lives Forever 2. One of the best games I've ever played.

Mafia.

Serious Sam, Oni, Rune, Myth II, and FAKK2 for $1 each.

Starcraft.

Exile (the 3rd of Myst) for 6 bucks

Hmm... Bargain bin deals...

Well, I got Ocarina of Time used, for $5. Mind you, this was the year 1999.

That'd still be worth full price if you bought it today.

Fallout and Fallout 2 - $10
Freespace and expansion - $10
Mechwarrior <ercenaries - $1.99

I got it for $10 at Staples.

No... warez and roms is for poor people. Bargin bins is for cheap people

Oh yeah... I'm getting starcraft for christmas. I was able to order that game for FREE because of thanksgiving offer at gamestop. Muhahaha!

No game is worth their full price.

Best bargain I ever got... Tribes 2 for $40 when it first came out. I played that game countless hours. Even if you dont like the game it set a standard which no other multiplayer game has matched, with the in game t-mail, tribe creation, and the game browser... Why cant anyone follow the example set here?

Anyway, actual bargain bin buys:
Alien vs. Predator $9
Madden 2004 $10
Dual analog stick gamepad (basically a ps2 controller that doesnt vibrate) for Madden 2004 (or any future game that goes better with a pad) $10
Starcraft Battle Chest (comes with 2 expansions) $15, but I havent played more than a couple levels of it, so I dont know where all the "OMQ STARCRAFT IS LIKE SEX BUT BETTER" stuff comes from....

"Whoa... I wish my tv had a stand like that"
"I HATE running backwards!"
"*sniff* *sniff* *sniiiiiif* I smell some serious firepower round here"
"Man.. never underestimate the power of stupid things in large numbers"

Neverwinter Nights for e14.95. I could have paid full price for this one, had I known what an awesome game it is.
