I'm about to be the owner of a new PS3, and I can't afford to buy many games at the moment or anything brand new. I'm gonna wait till Christmas time and save some more cash first. Would do you guys recommend for a game that is in the $20-$30 range to pick up to keep me occupied for now? I have heard several people rave about Bioshock.

Just got my Slim 3 weeks ago and I did the same thing as you.

Among others I can definately recommend:

MGS4 (20 euro's new)

Oblivion GOTY edition (20 euro's new)

Colin Mcrae DiRT (15 euro's new)

GTA 4 (20 euro's new)

You might want to consider getting Uncharted, Killzone 2, Skate 2, Bioshock, all these games are about 20 euro's aswell.

At least here in Europe.

Awesome guys, thanks for the advice so far. I'm leaning towards Bioshock or MGS4

I know they are already on the PS2, but I'm actually really looking forward to the new GOW 1&2 collection in HD graphics. I think it should be great to replay.

Bioshock should be #1 @ around $20, the game is amazing 2 years later.

You can also get Oblivion and The Orange Box (Half Life 2, Portal) or Dead Space for @ $20 also.

Other notables (prices quoted via Gamestop):

Condemned 2: $14.99

Mirror's Edge: $17.99

Rise of the Argonauts: $17.99

Metal Gear Solid 4, Rachet and Clank tools of destruction, Burnout Paridise, Resistance: Fall of man, and if you can find it, Ninja Gaiden Sigma are all in the players choise line for a reason. the best part is they retail new for about $30, anywhere from $15-$25 used

Biohshock is honestly the best game I've played this gen. Amazing story, with a great unexpected twist near the end (that's all I'll say), the concept as a whole is very original, it has a few moments that make you jump too. I would highly recommend Bioshock if you haven't played it. Best game I've played in a long time.

I'm not a Burnout fan either. I hate racing games. I'm all about Sports games, FP Shooters and a fun platformer once in awhile.

Man, if you could have splurged a little bit, you shoulda gone to Best Buy and gotten 3 games for $60 or less depending on what you got. I ordered Assasins Creed 1, Uncharted 1, and GTA IV and spent $60.

Dead Space, Bioshock, MGS4 are really good ones.

Also I created a thread earlier about Dark Sector being on sale for $5 on Amazon(US, not sure if it applies to anywhere else though), you could get that and Bioshock for under $25, great deal if you ask me.

Dead Space 20 bucks.

Armored Core For Answer 20 also. I think it's pretty underrated.

If you're into horror games Dead Space would be a nice choice. It's only $20 here at my local walmart.

Oh I forgot to mention I've seen Bioshock at many different places only running around $20 as well and if you're into shooters it's definitly a must have!

I'd go for fight night round 3 aswell if i was you, really cheap and imo better than round 4. Its great fun, requires skill (when on hard mode) and i find it really immersive.
