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?

Brute Force really isn't all that bad. People really sląg (why is that in the swear filter?!) it off like it was supposed to be Halo in 3rd Person or something. It wasn't supposed to be anything more than a dumb shooter where you go around blasting anything that moves. That's all it is and it's pretty good at it. There's no depth to it at all, but then that's what makes it playable.

It's more fun in co-op mind.

Er, no.

It's a tongue-in-cheek arcade FPS which is great if you want quick fun but not so much if you want lasting appeal and depth.

It's very simple, but enjoyable.

Brute Force is utter crap. Really, stay away from it. Nobody has ever heard of Slam Tennis, so that's most likely a no-no...

If that's the best your shopping list can muster, just get a GameCube. You've been talking about it for a while now. Do it.

Serious Sam.

Don't get Unreal unless you have Live as it's awful offline. Don't get Brute Force as it's awful and don't get Slam Tennis as it sounds rubbish.
