Bargain Bins

[Dingle]

Since I very rarely buy new games; LOST, UFC, GTA, Smackdown and MGS will probably be my only purchases this year, and I know that everyone MUST like a bargain. I propose that a thread be made for games that are now in bargain bins but are still a hell of a lot of fun to play.

[Thatz]

On a somewhat related note, I expect the LOST game to be in the bargain bin after a few months. I'm a big fan of the show, but they haven't advertised well (if at all) for the game and I can't imagine it doing too well.

If you have a GameStop near you, check the bargain bin for Castle Shikigami 2. Take your basic top-down space shooter, replace the spaceships with people, replace the lasers with super-powered spread guns which are different for each character and ramp the speed up about 10 times. However, that's not the best part. The best part is the "story" (for lack of a better word) mode. I say that because the cutscenes in between levels are not just in Engrish but English-spoken Engrish! Meaning they not only translated the Japanese dialogue badly but they got people to record it in English word-for-word. Better yet, the dialogue is different depending on what characters you choose, even with two-player combinations so you always get some sort of non-sensical Engrishy goodness in every game. I think the only place that has it is GameStop but if you can find it there, get it as it's only about $10, maybe less. Better yet, I read on IGN that they plan to have Castle Shikigami 3 for the Wii and 360!

The LOST game doesn't need advertising IMO, pretty much anybody who would buy it would know it was out anyway.

Gamestation has Red Faction 1 & 2 and Grand Theft Auto 3 for £3.99 or 4 games for £10.

In fact, you could spend a tenner and get Red Faction, Red Faction 2, GTA 3 and Devil May Cry.

Not bad.

[Crybaby Bunting]

I got Minority Report the boxing day it came out for a tenner

Was surprisingly good for what i thought it'd be

There were no 97p games at Currys

[Summers]

:@ We were lied to.

[King Ellis]

Staff probably took them all.

[Summers]

More than likely. I hate game shop staff.

[Cactus Drags]

Currys is no game shop. But I've seen baskets full of 97p games recently, if I remember rightly, largely shite. I'll have another looksy tomorrow.

[PkmnTrainerJ]

I did manage to pick up Final Fantasy Tactics Advance for £5 a few months ago when Woolworths were clearing out their GBA stuff.
