Arx Fatalis
Genma Onimusha
Alter Echo
Fireblade
Gunmetal
Metal Arms - glitch in the system
Pirates: The legend of black kat
Prisoner of war
Rogue Ops
Robinhood: Defender of the Crown

Any of these really good/worth it for around the 5-10 quid mark and if so WHY?

Metal Arms is quite good, a sort of robot platformer if memory serves me. Not much replay value and not that long either. But I really can't remember that much about it.

Anyway perhaps I should stipulated I wanted opinions from those who'd actually played the games. :S

Yeah, on paper it looked good, I couldn't see why the review scores were as good as they were.

Definately gave it a miss.

Looks more fun than Resi, only 6 hours long though.

Does it take 10 hours to turn round though? ;D

Looked fun but they said the AI was dodgy and you couldn't tell how hidden you were. Figured Rogue Ops'd be better.

I paid £2.99 for Onimusha.

I'd have been better of paying a tramp the money to punch me in the face, it'd have been a hell of a lot more enjoyable.

Nope.

Cost less than a cheap stereo to listen to my non-custom soundtracks on.

I'll wait 'til I've played them.

SWB was incredibly shallow and not worth 30 quid.

No of these are worth 30 quid either but I'm paying nowhere near that.
