Games that gave you a BIG BANG for your buck? 56K back off

Silent Hill 1 Final Fantasy 8 Fallout 3 Legend of Dragoon What are some of yoru favorites?

2 more for me Call of Duty 4 Oblivion

The Orange Box and Mass Effect.

Final Fantasy VII

Final Fantasy VIII

Mass Effect

Legend of Dragoon had like no reply value, no sidequests, shallow exploration, dull characters and just a all around mediocre RPG. I hate to knock your choices TC, but seriously, there wasn't anything to take that game's spot?

(lol I said "game's spot")

Persona 3

AoEII: AoK

Call of Duty (the original, console only boys ;) )

FFX

Super Mario World

Valve's The Orange Box

5 top quality titles bundled into a single 49.99$ package at launch.

This is the greatest deal of all time. So much variety and quality put into each title.

etc etc... I find that PC usually offer the most replay value for me.

FF Tactics on PSP was cheap, good value.

I got CoH for £1 a couple of years ago (I drop this everywhere I go.)

Orange Box

TS:FP, was a fiver.

TS, because it was awesome. Played for ages.

TS2, same reason.

Mabye many others I can't remember.

Any game that has great mod support. Half life 2, Crysis,fallout 3,oblivion

Also sins of solar empires was $30 new and was and still is great value

Being a PC gamer, mods extend the lives of many of my games, but I'll list a few.

Fallout 3 gave me a "BIG" bang for my buck. The replay value is insane. I find myself starting over to do new things that I haven't did in the game. Theres so much to do in Fallout 3 so little time :(Soulja_West

Yoshi's Island

Star Fox 64

LotR: BFME2

Pokemon Diamond

That's off the top of me head...the first two because ive beaten them a million times across multiple platforms, BFME2 because of the 100s of hours i spent online with it and diamond because its the last game handheld game that i remember really sucking me in

EDIT: and im too lazy to find screens for AoE2, Fallout 3, SSBM and Diablo 2 :P

Those are just the ones right off the top of my head... probably a lot more...

simple,the disgaea series you can play 400 hours and still not do everything in the game. the guy that said that legend of dragoon had no sidequests knows nothing about the game,the game had 2 secret bosses i remember,the first was a boss with 3 parts and you could get the best weapon in the game from it,and the most difficult boss in every game i have ever played "magician faust" who you could unlock if you could find 50stardust(sidequest.....)

for replayability the ff series,the suikoden series and breath of fire 3.

• The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
• Resistance 2
• Halo Trilogy
• The Orange Box
• Final Fantasy XII (+ other Final Fantasy games)

BF Modern Combat 2 on 360, 130 hours

Edit: Forgot about cod1, must have spent about 200 hours in that

Street Fighter IV.

I have over 100 hours and counting in it.

Value?

Well, lets not take mods into the equation, and just highlight a single game of great value....

Of recent. As in a week or so.

Men of War.

Massive challenging singleplayer campaign, deep tactical, exiting (and fun) gameplay, great range of multiplayer modes, 4 player coop through every campaign mission, and an awesome - very awesome - editor.

Put this in perspective.

I played a single mission coop, online with a friend tonight.
We spent 113 minutes on a single mission
(mind you we stuffed up the first portion of it, shortening what is a separate lengthy section - though making the core of the mission more difficult).

(the map in the screen shot is only a small portion of the battlefield - the timer counter in the top right is a good indication of how much time it took to get this far).

(at this moment I was direct controlling this half track full of soldiers)

(this is towards the end of the mission - as the timer indicates. In the map you can see how the battlefield has shifted forwards towards an enemy base - the frontline moves as you progress, resulting absolutely epic battles and great challenges).

(these two soldiers were the last two units I had remaining (no reinforcements) - hence why I am direct controlling the sniper, to help friendly units more effictivley - be a bit more useful considering my losses. :P By the end of the mission only unit I had left was the sniper)

To get a good idea of the amount of units in the battle and the grand scale of it.

The final score:

113 minutes of awesome moments and fun - where the game puts you in almost a sandbox environment, and gives you awesome unscripted moments in the scenario

Personally, its my favourite RTS/Strategy title of the year - more-so than DoW2 and Empire Total War.... and one of my favourite titles this year.

Worth every cent.

Great value it is.

Most games pale in comparison....
