Recently i managed to get some extra cash available i have about £60, was thinking about increasing the collection of games i have nestled under the telly. I know the £60 wouldnt go far on new releases and so would like some good old classics.

So far my list includes the following:

Slam Tennis
Brute Force
Unreal

I need one or two more to add, anyone give me a hand?

The guns really were awful. I remembr your standard pistol hardly making any noise at all. The enemies on the harder difficultiescould just take ridiculous amounts of bullets. Even with the assault rifle you could unloads a full clip in someone's chest and they would sill stand there shooting at you.

Multiplayer was horrible, it was like your character had broken his legs and couldn't run properly.

Single player was rubbish as well. You couldn't even tell when you were shooting the enemies as there were seemingly no animations to signal they were getting shot, add to that the rubbish guns and the crap AI and it was about as entertaining as trapping your nuts in a vice.

Nice graphics, shame the game sucked so badly.

Sure the driving sections were poor. But the normal first person bits were fine and the multiplayer was great. In context, at £15, it was worth it.

It was really, really boring to play.

Uninspired ball-hats, and the driving sections were TERRIBLE.

Nightfire was actually quite good fun. It had a great multiplayer mode. Definitely worth getting for £15 or so.

Games that can be found cheap if you look around:
TimeSplitters 2
Splinter Cell
Max Payne
XIII
Max Payne 2
Prince Of Persia
Beyond Good And Evil
Crimson Skies
Project Gotham Racing 2 (£25 now. That's, like, so totally wrong.)
Burnout
Burnout 2
Jet Set Radio Future
Amped 2
Counter Strike

Most of them are not on the Classics range but are now fairly cheap. All are pretty decent, though Counter Strike for instance is only good if you have Live.

You could get at least three for sixty quid.
