Which Games Gave You More Than Your Money's Worth?

Which games do you think is worth more than 20$, 30$, 50$, etc. You can consider criteria like production value of the game, total time you spent playing it, jaw dropping elements in the game, etc.

My candidates are:

• Bioshock
• Company of Heroes
• Baldur's Gate I & II
• Diablo

VTMB playing all characters...cant think of any other game that has gave me so much enjoyment and replayability than that game..and ive played alot of games since the early 90's.

Guild Wars most definately.

Fallout 3, oblivion, CoD4(just cant get enough of the multiplayer), some people say the orange box is worth more than 50$ but i hated it, and world of warcraft. I actualy think WoW is a realy good deal for 15$ a month because that would most likely be the only game you would play so you wouldn't be spending 50 dollars on other games every month.

Total War games, TF2, UT3, Diablo,

Beyond Good and Evil. I paid $5 for it at release at a Circuit City...then I re-purchased it for $20 off Steam...and I STILL feel like I underpaid for it.

Definately most of the Total War Games. Empire might if they can get a patch to address all the issues.

I agree with Bioshock

World in Conflict surprised me. What a great multiplayer game. The game will never get old to me.

World of Goo

Grand Theft Auto 4 and San Andreas

Mungyodance 3 "It was free" cant get much better then that

Some oldschool stuff:

Dune 2000

Casteles 2 Siege and Conquest

Robert E. Lee Civil War General

CoD4 thats it.

The Witcher

VTMB

SS2

Baldurs gate I+II

Fallout 1 +2 +3(yeah odd thats on the list)

Crusader no remorse + regret

diablo I

Wh40k Dawn of War

CSS

Halflife I

STALKER Soc + CS

• Deus Ex
• Homeworld
• Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines
• Dawn of War II
• Company of Heroes
• System Shock 2
• Medieval II: Total War
• No One Lives Forever
• Rome: Total War
• Starcraft
• Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

There's more, but I'll just stick with these 11 for the moment.

Empire Total War has already given me tons of fun and lots of hours of gameplay. Loving this game personally!

Also Team Fortress2, Daggerfall, Dune2, Jedi Knight series, Quake 1 and Fallout1/2.

Usually the games with the most bang for my bucks has been one with a multiplayer component .. surely there are single player games which have given me quite a good time .. but when the game incorporates a solid multiplayer component which encourages pro-gaming scenarios .. clans, matches, ranking ladders .. thats where I feel I've been given a real treat.

such games include the likes of :

Quake 3 Arena: Deathmatch

Jedi Outcast: Capture the Flag

Battlefield 1942: Capture the Flag & Conquest

- Games with single player only that would have been great with multiplayer but was solid enough to not need it include:

Portal

Mirror's Edge

Dead Space

IL-2

Silent Hunter III

Combat Misson: Beyond Overlord

Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

Hidden and Dangerous II

TF2..that 20 went a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way..

Quake live...its free...it owns.

The Orange Box, System Shock 2, Deus Ex, WarCraft III and StarCraft.

I'm going to go on the basis of when I purchased the game and at what price tag I purchased it at:

Red Alert 2 + Expansion. -$10.00

Fallout 3: 59.99

Act of War: $15.00

Bioshock: $28.99

most games with good singleplayer and multiplayer components,World in Conflict was a steal for 20 bucks (within a month of its relese, gotta love futureshop) the game lasted me about 15 or so hours for the sp, and about 60 for the mp. would have been more, but i lost the cd key, Company of Heroes, COD5, Oblivion, The Witcher

Company of Heroes.

• Diablo 2
• Titan Quest
• UT 2004
• Audio Surf
• Dungeon Keeper 2

Eye Of The Beholder II
Hexen
Rune
Dungeon Siege + expansion

Unreal
Unreal Tournament

• Baldur's Gate II

retro82

25 bucks isn't much for the best game ever.

Also, I agree on Guild Wars.
I don't really consider it to be among the greatest games. But the fact that's you can always jump in when you feel like it makes it so good.

Also:

Total War series
Diablo series
Neverwinter Nights

American McGee's Alice

Warcraft 3: RoC & FT

CoD 4 (it was stolen from me once and I bought it again, still easily worth the money)

I'm sure there's more, but those are the 2 that come to mind right away.

Fallout 3

Oblivion

Bioshock

CoH

Any of the TW series

• Duke Nukem
• Warcraft 2
• Starcraft
• Magic Carpet 2
• Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2
• Halflife 1 & 2
• Deus Ex
• Battlefield
• Final Fantasy 1-3
• Fallout 1 & 3
• Diablo 1 & 2

The list goes on forever. If a game really has outstanding gameplay, I will play it over and over and over again, put it away... take it back out 2 years later and play it some more.

I know these aren't all PC games but oh well

1 Gears of War

2 Metroid Prime

3 Wind Waker

4 Twilight Princess

5 Dead Space

6 Mario Kart DS

7 Metroid Prime 2

8 Metroid Prime Hunters ( online only)

9 Call of Duty 4 ( mostly online but sp was pretty sweet at parts too)

10 Mass Effect

11 SSBM

That's all that I can think of at the moment. No particular order either. Probably got the most time out of any of them with GoW though

the original Ghost Recon, COD 1, Alien VS Predator 2, Medal of Honor Allied Assault, Far Cry(I'vewent through those games at least 4-5 times back in the days)

GTA san andreas (just because it's so huge and I had to spend so many hours to do everything)

Battlefield 1942, vietnam and 2 (spend 200+ hours for each one)

Arma: combat operation (once modded, this game is amazing, 100+ hours into it)

• Diablo 2 LoD
• Battlefield 2/2142
• Morrowind (mods)
• World in Conflictt
• Civilization 4 BTS

EDIT:

• The Orange Box ( How could I have forgotten :o)
