Worst would probably have to be Serious Sam HD. Payed 35 quid for it but honestly it just doesn't entertain me the way those kind of games used to. Maybe I'm just growing up... or maybe I'm becoming a boring old fucker way before my time.
Best/Worst valued game you've bought?

I wouldn't think about Portal in terms of hours played, but rather the experience had while playing it.lacktheknack said:
Portal was such a good, unique, creative game, I would've gladly paid twice what you payed for it and it still would've been MORE than worth it.
Not to mention that in my opinion, portal is the best puzzle game ever made.
Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy was my first Xbox Live game and an AMAZING game. I have so many fond memories of that game it isn't even funny. I will defend that game until the end.Switchblade1080 said:
Did you know they sell the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3's for less than it costs to make them? The only reason they make any money is because the games cost 60 dollars.GeneralSeasick said:
At least that's the way it was when those systems came out. Since then, technology has advanced and those systems have started to cost less and less to produce; in fact, the PS3 is down 70% from its original production cost in 2006.
So, it actually has been rumored that the price of new games for those systems may drop to $40. Since that is a rumor, however, I have no evidence to support it.

The way I see buying games is that in a "time spent enjoying" to cost ratio, they're better than movies, which you pay nine dollars to get into, and last ninety minutes or so, while with games, you may pay fifty dollars, but you'll get hundreds of hours out of some.
A good example would be Fallout 3, which, until I wiped my saves for HDD space, I had at least one file with 300+ hours in it.
Yeah.
Another game I got at a good value was Chrono Trigger DS for $11. Due to some system error, the company sent me another copy, which they didn't want back.
I plan on giving it to a friend who's a fan of the game along with a cheap DS I got at a yard sale, and don't plan on using.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is the best value. Over 200 hours + in that game.
Worst is Duke Nukem Forever. I spent $5 renting it and it was the worse piece of crap I have ever seen and played in my life.

Hitman: Codename 47, Silent Assassin, or Blood Money, I got the 'collection' on a steam sale for around $8.00 CAD.
Any of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Games, as they don't work correctly. They take literally half an hour to load ANYTHING, new game, normal load, or 'quick' load. Call of Pripyt just doesn't work.

Back when Gamestop was Software Etc I bought a game called Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero.
It was a side scrolling platforming beat-em-up that still holds the record for being the only game that I've ever traded in.
As for the best game?
Super Metroid. I still dust off my SNES and play through that game at least once or twice a year.

Hard to keep track of them all, given the crazy-go-nuts deals you can get on Steam during Christmass and the July sale, but these two stick out in my mind.
Best Valued Game: Recettear - 5$. Enjoyable and creative little JRPG shop keeping game that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys old school JRPG games. It cost me five dollars when it was on sale on Steam
Worst Valued Game: Medal of Honor 2010 - 60$: A half assed COD-clone that had extremely poorly balanced multiplayer. I mean, I normally snipe in games a lot, but I felt like I needed a shower after playing MOH as a sniper with how broken easy it was to snipe on defense. The single player took all of 4 hours, and I don't think anybody is playing multiplayer anymore.
Frankly, Recettear deserved my 60$ and Medal of Honor was worth 5 bucks at best given the values and play time I got out of each game.

Best: KotOR 1 and 2. Spent maybe 20 bucks combined, and got over 350 hours between the two games.
Worst: Fable 3. I loved the first one, but was let down with the second one. I heard the 3rd was supposed to be a lot better, so got it the week it came out. After about 2 hours of playing, I was just not intrested and ended up returning it.

Was Portal good? It was GREAT. But it's also the ONLY game I've ever played, finished, did the challenges, and thought "That was almost worth the money." I never regret my purchases, and I almost regretted dropping $20 on Portal.Deshara said:... This post hurts me.lacktheknack said:
Best value on a game is proberbly Just Cause 2, i bought it on the internet awhile after release for about £5, then played the hell out of it racking up about seventy hours of gametime, i still go back to it for an odd hour or two aswell.
Worst title this is a difficult choice because i generaly only buy games i know i'll enjoy, i guess i'd have to say Savage, its an RTS combigned with First/Third person shooter/action gameplay in a team based Death match scenario, you have one person as commander for each team handling all the RTS elements and everyone else is a soldier, the game itself was actualy quite good but it was so full of people cheating and so on i gave up. I recall the moment that caused me todo so, i spent ages farming money and kills useing the sniper electron staff thingy to save up and upgrade my character to a behemoth with huge health pool and massive dammage basicly so we could attacked the enemy base, i took maybe three steps out of my own base only to be insta killed by somone with the basic weapons and no upgrades because he was cheating.

Best valued would be Vampire the Masquerade. Got it for $5 on Steam.
Worst would be Gears of War. Paid full price for it, and gave it to my brother in law two months later. Shouldn't have bought the hype.
Edit: Decided to replace Deus Ex, as VtM has given me far more game time.
