Hey I left all of my games at the parent's house and am looking to pick up a cheap game to play until I go back for the summer. So far I think I am down to either Dark Sector ($10) or Ninja Gaiden Sigma ($20). Which one is the better, more entertaining game? Any other awesome >$20 games?

Ninja gaiden for sure. But be prepared to hold yourself from throwing your controller at the wall.

Yeah I would go with Ninja gaiden aswell.It has an easier setting but the game is still pretty challenging.Both games are very fun,but NGS might last you abit longer.

I haven't played Dark sector or NGS, but budget game wise The Darkness is usually very cheap if you like FPS's

Sorry, I haven't played either one of those games but you can get Elder Scrolls: Oblivion for $19.99, brand new or lot cheaper used. It has at least 200 hours of gameplay if not more.

ya oblivion is an amazing game, better than fallout IMO; Also, Valkryia Chronicles is on sale for the next few weeks for half price at $30; it's still not better than oblivion, but it's a fun game and is also worth the ten dollars.

If you have internet access you could check out the demos for each. Personally I'd have to say NGS though it can be frustrating.

Tough call with NGS and DMC4. If I had to choose, I'd take DMC4 because the combat system is more fun to use in my opinion. Both are excellent games though.

If you like shooters then The Darkness is absolutely awesome plus I just picked up Orange Box brand new for $19.99 @ EB. Excellent values.

zeal311

It is and I think it takes away from the enjoyment of the game. I just got Battlefield: Bad Company, Mirrors Edge, Bourne Conspiracy and Burnout Paradise for really low prices at EB/Gamestop. Those would be my picks. Aprox. $20 each.

I would probably recommend Haze (even though reviews were bad) and Oblivion for SURE, 200 hours of gameplay for 30 bucks, not bad. Assasins Creed is good also.

Like I said I have orange box, bioshock, and oblivion for pc so those are out.

In any case, I went for Ninja Gaiden. Ordered it off Newegg for $20. Then I saw it was available down the street at Best Buy for the same price about one hour after it was too late for me to cancel my order and just go buy it. FML. Oh well, waiting for stuff to come in the mail is always fun. Right? Right??

Haha I was going to suggest you look on Newegg to pick out a budget game. Condemned 2 is $12.99 w/ Free Shipping. I highly recommend that game, and with another $10 you could've gotten another budget game. But NGS is a good choice, and Newegg should be better then getting from Best Buy.. they don't charge tax, atleast not where I live. You should also check out Burnout Paradise if you can, it's $19.99 and pretty noice.

Dark Sector is better, but I have seen Dead Space is quite cheap now if you were interested.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma is so much better than Dark Sector. There's no comparison.
