There are so few games that excite me new. And if it only takes a few weeks to beat the main story, like say it did for Assassins Creed, I don't really want to buy it new because there isn't much in the way of replay value. So here is a list of games I'm looking to get used, tell me if these are worth say $20:

Assassin's Creed 2
Batman Arkhem Asylum (I know this one is worth it, but I've already half beaten it due to renting it)
Sabetour
Prototype
Mass Effect 2
<s>God of War 1, 2, & 3 (I've heard good things about the series)</s>
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood
Just Cause
Red Steel 2

I do want red dead redemption

mass effect 2 is easily worth $20. I put in at least 40 hrs on the game when it first came out. Did you play the first one? I am not sure how much different the game situation is for those people who didnt have a mass effect 1 save file.

I Started the Mass Effect 2 thread here. Then I heard it changed a lot from the original Mass Effect 1 game play so didn't get it.

Also never mind about God of War, I have an X-Box, not a play station.

Mass Effect 2 is amazing and should be picked up at any price.

Just remember that if you get it used, you have to pay $10 to access the DLC (then pay DLC prices)

Mass Effect 2 is even better with the new patch which makes planet scanning easier.

I don't have internet at home, so that isn't a problem.

Dark Siders any good?

I think the changes in Mass Effect 2 made the game better than the first one. While the mineral scanning gets boring as hell after the first few planets, i'd rather do that then drive the mako around.

Interesting. Like I said it is on my list.

I'm pretty sure both ME2 and Prototype will bore you.

Which is why I will only pay $20 tops for them.

It's pretty fun, but it's also very short. It has a LoZ feel to it because you go through a "dungeon", find a big key, a compass, dungeon item, and then use said dungeon item against the dungeon boss. You go around to different areas such as: A desert, a "lake" area, a cemetary, a destroyed city. Oh, and did I mention you get to ride a horse later in the game?

It's worth it, but it's sadly not $20 yet.

This fellow says it rips off LoZ, God of War and a few others.

It's still worth a play BDC. Also, remember, I can't view videos at work due to shitty software.

He is an Aussie, or at least a Brit living in Oz.

Yeah, I'm the one who told Becker about it because I picked it up new for 19 bucks on Amazon. DLC's crappy, but hey, it was free.
