Are there any fun games you think might be fun to play, but aren't worth the fifty dollars? Here are some I think should only be thirty, or even twenty, dollars.

Mario Party 8: Yet another mini game compilation. Seventy mini games, with some being bad, with boring board maps isn't worth fifty dollars anymore.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games: Again, another mini game compilation that is asking for too much. Think about it this way: It's the same price as Super Mario Galaxy.

Dewy's Adventure: An extremely short, frustrating, yet fun, game with a cute art style. I would love to play this game. It seems really interesting, but I would never dish out fifty bucks for it.

Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree: I had a blast with the one on the DS. But there are only twenty mini games... The original one was only twenty dollars, so I find it odd that it's still fifty dollars, even though it's half a year old. It looks like a lot of fun, but I couldn't imagine playing it for more than ten hours.

What are some you would buy for thirty bucks?

Agreed! Mini games should be budget priced at all times... I don't mind paying 60$ for a exciting unique and longer game but 50$ for a mini game collection?

Zack & Wiki was just 40$ and as much as I love the game a 5$ price cut on it would be great!

I disagree on RE:UC. It is a full game with some replayabilty and a great 2 player game just to shoot stuff up.

Honestly, I think all games should be sold at a price of 25-30 dollars, but games that I'm not planning to buy until they reach that price are BWii and Fire Emblem.

Dewy's adventure is 40 not 50 but I agree I wouldnt dish out 40 bucks for it, and I wouldnt dish out any money for the rest of those games.

Okami shouldnt be 40 dollars either, RE4 was 30 why cant they make okami 30?

I disagree, I would have paid a full $50 for Zack and Wiki. As for the ones listed by the TC I agree with all of them, and you should have Pokemon Battle Rev to the list.

During my latest sojourn at the local Wal*Mart Dewey's Adventure was $19.94 and Zak & Wiki was $29.96. I, of course, bought neither.

Mario Party 8 shouldn't be more than $ 30 considering it's quality, but it's sales justify it's price. There are many others, crappy ones, that simply can't be more than $30 or even $20, like Far Cry.

Puzzle Quest. I won't buy it (the XB360 and DS versions are far superior) but nevertheless it shouldn't have been more than $15. $30 is waaay too much.

Agreed on PQ! I really wanted that game but the controls are wonky and the sound is crappy. I may still end up getting it.

I totally agree that Mario Parties shouldn't be more than $30 for sure as well as most mini game collections. I want to play Big Brain for the Wii but I can't see paying $50 for it especially when the DS game was only $20.

I try to be somewhat savy when buying games. If I know it's going to be short, I try to wait for a price drop or ask someone for it for Christmas so its their money not mine. Also any game based on a movie or TV show should never be over $30 as well as any Wii game that's a PS2 port with a few waggle controls.

However there are people out there stupid enough to pay full price for stuff like this and as long as they are around, these games will sell for full price.
