Bargain Bucket Bonanza

Over the last few weeks I have picked up games like Neir, Red Dead Redemption, Just Cause 2, 3D Dot Game Heroes and a few other retail and PSN games. Yet despite having all these brand new shiny games to play I find myself playing some games from the "Bargain Bucket" in stores.
Here are a few games I have picked up that I am enjoying playing or due to play and maybe worth you picking up as well if you missed out on picking them up on their original release.


What can be said about FIFA 08 & 09 that you don't already know, some people consider the FIFA series to be the best football games around and at £0.48 and £2.49 (In store @ Game) respectively they are really worth picking up. Great games to play when your mates come round as there is nothing like playing FIFA against an opponent in the same room.


Don't like FIFA? Then pick up Pro Evo 2008 & 2009 for £0.48 and £2.49 respectively (In store @ Game) From a personal point of view I can't decide which I like better out of FIFA and Pro Evo as it all depends on what mood I am in at the time. Bargain football games to get into the spirit of the upcoming World Cup.


Like blowing shit up? Well then whats better than Mercenaries 2? Well Just Cause 2 is, but if your on a budget then you can't really do worse than picking up this game for £4.79 with delivery from the Argos Clearance store.


Motor Storm costs £10 second hand at Game in the UK, yet for some retarded reason they are selling Motor Storm: Pacific Rift for only £7.99. Arcade type racing that's not to shabby to say the least.



Prototype came out at the same time as Infamous and they have received constant comparisons to each other. Any game that plays similar to the last Hulk game and expands on that can't be a bad thing. (£12.99 in store @ Game) This is one game I look forward to playing very soon although I don't really think I should have included it in this list due to the price being over £10.



Ridge Racer used to be the arcade racer that everyone wanted to play in the Arcades and on the original Play Station. So surely the latest version of the game can't be all that bad, this is basically Ridge Racer 6 with a lick of paint so that's either a good or bad thing depending on your thoughts of the last game, at £2.99 (In store @ Gamestation) though I thought I may as well pick it up.



The Tomb Raider series has had its ups and downs with some great games as well as some piss poor games that shouldn't have been made. Tomb Raider Underworld is a return to form for the series and is worth £5 (In store @ Gamestation) of any ones money for a fun bit of adventuring.



While the story line of the game is laughable to say the least (It's mainly just Capture the Flag and Team Death Match repeated over and over) there is still no denying that the game is still fun to play. This is not the best shooter but it's a nice change of pace when you fancy a break from Modern Warfare 2 of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. (£4.99 in store @ Gamestation)
