C'mon, give me the best cheap-o game you've ever had the pleasure to play.

For me, it was Condemned 2: Bloodshot. Don't know why, just liked the concept.

Okami (PS2) and Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) two of the best games I've ever played.

Sim City 3000. The pinnacle (in my view) of the Sim City series.

Battlefield:Bad Company. At first, I was a "CoD Fanboy," per say. But after buying that game, my mindset totally changed. The multi-player was magnificent in every aspect.

How could I forget about that title? Stalker: SoC is probably one of the few FPS titles I enjoyed this gen.

Too many to list. I skip several games a year and go back and grab them when the price goes down. Recently: Killzone 2 (well worth it), Viking: Battle of Asgard (again worth $15.00). I also picked up InFamous, Condemned 2 & Prototype recently but haven't played them yet.

Just about every game I buy is under 20 bucks. But the most memorable was buying ICO's collector brand new for 10 bucks.

Got it yesterday too. I tend to trade in AAA titles quickly, then rebuy them a year or two later.

This.

I picked it up with my PS3 when I got it, along with Warhawk. BFBC is still the most played online game on my console today (including uncharted 2...)

I was able to get Assassin's Creed 2 for free actually, so yeah, that was pretty damn awesome. Game was excellent as well which made it even better.

So buying it after it drops in price counts?

I dunno... I don't buy many 20$ or less games, even if they are old and used. Lets go with Burnout Paradise.

Real budget game (started at $20) - Killing Floor. Lots of online fun while killing zombies. Feels completely different from L4D(2), too.

I don't see a point of listing my favorite under $20 value (Orange Box for $15, GTA IV $5, Burnout Paradise $15, etc, etc, etc) since all games end up at a value price eventually.

Recently it has to be Bad Company 2. Got it over spring break for $20 when they had that deal going on. I'm not gonna bother listing any others as I usually wait until games are around that price to buy them, so I would have to many to list.
