Top 5 best value for money current gen console games

A lot of good console games this gen offered many hours of entertainment. But among those, which are the ones that you believe deserve to be at the top of the best value for money list?

mass effect

mass effect 2

deadly premonition

uncharted 2

mario galaxy 2

I played these the most -

• Warhawk
• MAG
• Killzone series
• Uncharted 2

The Orange Box, Fallout 3 GOTY, Borderlands GOTY.

I don't game much on consoles so listing pc games here.

1. The Orange Box - You get 4 of the finest sp gaming experience ever and one of the best mp games ever team fortress 2 which i have sunk over 700 hours in!
2. Starcraft 2 - A decent sp with nice mission variety and innovative campaign mechanics and one of the best competetive mp experience available not to mention the powerful editor allows totally different games to be made with it and provides tons of free content generated by the community.
3. Heroes on Newerth - Its premise is simply but really mastering all the intrigues of this game takes time and their are plenty of diffrent classes to choice from each with different play styles and build orders to experiement with.
4. Bad Company 2 + vietnam expansion - The best online modern military shooter this gen by far.
5. Left 4 Dead 2 - The sequel to the best co-op game with even more weapons and zombies!)

Downloadable?

1. Geometry Wars ($5)

2. Pac-Man CE DX ($10)

3. Puzzle Quest ($10)

4. Shadow Complex ($10)

5. Portal ($10-15)

Retail?

1. Orange Box ($20 - 5 Games)

2. Any 2 pack with good games that was with a 360 system. You can get like ODST/Forza 3 for $20, Banjo & Viva for $5-10

3. Oblivion GOTY (100+ hours, $20-30)

4. Burnout Paradise ($20 or less, tons of content)

5. MLB The Show '09 or '10 (great games and can be found on the cheap)

Wipeout HD Fury

Yakuza 3&4

Can´t think of anything else.

The Orange Box

The Orange Box = Five great games

Halo Reach = Single Player Campaign, Firefight, Multiplayer, Forge

God of War Collection = Two Great Games Remastered in HD

EDIT: whoops consoles.

In that case Demon Souls gets my vote. You can find it 20$ now, real steal.

Red Dead Redemption - Nice long single player campaign, with tons of side things to do, and a crazy awesome time in Free-Roam multiplayer or competitive as well, especially with friends. Definitely worth it and so is RDR Undead Nightmare

GTA IV - While it may be disappointing for some expecting as much to do as in San Andreas, it does offer quite a bit, I put about 60 hours into 100% the game on my one save file alone, not to mention the countless hours I've spent online and messing around. The Episodes from Liberty City really add a lot more fun things to do, and offer a real deal when it comes to DLC (Especially compared to $15 map packs :P) get the GTA IV complete edition to get them all bundled.

Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 - I've put in tons of hours playing this series with friends in the computer lab at school, great games.

Just Cause 2 - Huge map and tons of ridiculous things to do along with single player

Orange Box - Half Life 2, HL2 Episode 1 and 2, Team Fortress 2, and Portal...enough said

(Also, L.A. Noire is supposed to be pretty long, but I haven't started it yet to really say enough about it :P)

The Orange Box, Halo Reach, BFBC2 w/Vietnam

The Orange Box five games for the price of one, there are no better deal than that.

demons souls - put 200 hours into the asian import, not to mention the US localization.

3d dot game heroes - 30 hour game for 40 dollars.

a lot of the shmups I play. its very easy to sink a couple 100 hours into all cave, treasure, and g.rev developed games.

I'd say Oblivion, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age: Origins the GOTY edition.

Orange Box

Fallout 3 GOTY

Demon's Souls

Resident Evil 5 (strictly for the evolving inventory that you can use both offline and online)

Left 4 Dead 2 (not most valuable for everyone, but I have a fetish for zombie games and this one is very gory and very fun).

my list would just be my top 5 of the generation. value to me is simply buying a great experience rather than how much time the game sinks. but for people who do take that sort of thing into consideration, heres a valuable equation:

value=[(personal rating of game) x (hours spent playing)]/cost of game

:P

Dragon Age: Ultimate Edition

im disappointed by the lack of metroid prime trilogy on the first page. People in SW dont know much about value

1. Orange box

2. Metroid Prime Trilogy

???

???

5. Sly Cooper collection

EDIT: or arent we allowed to list game collections /or that have last gen games on them?

This can be interpreted many ways, but if we are tallking strictly hours played then for me its

• Demons Souls
• Metal Gear Online
• Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
• Oblivion
• Super Street Fighter 4

No particular order.

Black Ops, Uncharted 2, The Orange Box, and LittleBigPlanet 2!

Yes! Red Dead! LA Noire! Games galore!

Red Dead Redemption

Demon's Souls

Mass Effect

Fallout 3: GOTY

Dragon Age Origins.

I've spent well over 100 hours on each game and enjoyed every minute of it.

I agree with everything but NGS2. It only takes forever to complete because of it's insane difficulty.ecobacon

It actually didnt take me long to complete at all. I beat the game 3 times the first week it was out.

I have gotten over 1000 hours out of the 3d Ninja Gaidens. The battle system is that good. They are meant to be replayed multiple times, along with the mission modes. I never get tired of the gameplay. I still play through Ninja Gaiden Black every few months and its a 6 year old game.

Final Fantasy 13caseypayne69

Half-Way

Oblivion

Fallout 3

Bad Company 2

Mass Effect 1&2

Rock Band, Halo 3, Forza Motorsport 2, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and I can't really think of a 5th game on any platform that really stands out from a value-per-dollar perspective.

Fallout 3 GOTY in my opinion. The game itself with all the dlc for just the price of a regular $60 game.

-The Orange Box
-Halo: Reach
-Fallout 3 GOTY
-Forza Motorsport 3
-Mortal Kombat (I know wierd choice but it's all there- Story Mode/Ladder Mode/Challenge Tower/Mini-games/Online MP/Tons of unlockables.)

I'd also mention the excellent Metroid Prime Trilogy, but production is over for that, and you wont find it for less than $80-$100 these days. Back when it was 50, it was an amazing deal.

• Halo 3
• Monster Hunter Tri
• NIER
• FIFA 11
• Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Or Gears 2)
