They did the job, and did it bloody well it seems!

(the Cube version is still the definitive, it seems, but you can't have it all :P)

Nope.

A decent sandbox with a fun story, daft missions and fun stuff to do is worth 10 quid.

It's not worth 30 because it's not impressive enough and the missions aren't the fun bit of the game.

It's like picking up a short game and blasting through it never to pick it up again: much better when it's cheap and a bit of a waste at full RRP.

Now that I'd have to disagree with.

A crap game is a crap game, whether it cost £10 or £40.

I didn't say it did. Though I still feel personally that old games are never as good when you go back to them.

You should stick some of those on eBay - you'd make quite a bit of dosh. My Paradroid for the C64 sold for over £20.

Like ICO on the PS2. Can't wait for Shadow of the Colossus.

And sometimes it depends on the price. For instance: True Crime for 10 quid is a great game but a rip-off at 30+.

If it's on a console I own then I might.

Otherwise I'll get it much later when it's cheap.

Coming from someone who likes sprite RPG's I thought you'd be the one suggesting a few pre-playstation titles I should get.

Have you played Angband?

Having recently gotten into RPGs again I'm going to get hold of SNES, NES, Master System and Megadrive RPGs.

So true. Although half the old PC games I get suck, but all the old console games (i.e early Cube/Xbox etc) that I used to get were good fun, some real gems that people left in favour of more popular titles.

I'm getting them cheap and I've only gotten back into RPGs in the past year or so.

It doesn't have to be new to be good or fun.

If you have a look at the game I actually do own you might see why I've yet to pick a few of those games up.
