Massive savings can be found at GameStop from now until August 2 both in store and online. A big group of games, including the console versions of Street Fighter IV, have been given a temporary price drop and are now only $19.99:
- Animal Crossing: City Folk (Game Only)
- Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
- Excitebots: Trick Racing (Game Only)
- F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
- Lair
- MadWorld
- Mario & Sonic at Olympic Games
- Silent Hill: Homecoming
- Wanted: Weapons of Fate
- Wario Land: Shake It
- Wii Music
It's crazy to think that I haven't played most of these games, and I cannot tell you how hard it is not to give in and spend a hundred bucks right now. For now, the plan is to get MadWorld. What about the rest of you? Which of these games are all of a sudden worth playing now that they have become so inexpensive?
[Thanks, SilverDragon1979!]

Thanks for the cocktease, DToid!
The rest are decent though. Might pick up F.E.A.R. 2.
Guess I'll pick it up now.
I hate effing limited time deals...it's like if you can afford to sell the shit for the low price then just sell the shit for a low price >_<
The only game on that list that looks interesting and that I don't have is FEAR 2, but I dunno. I've alrady got a big enough backlog, and I didn't particularly like the first one(I'm not a fan of FPS games). So we'll see.
I've already gone out and picked up my copy of SF4 and Madworld for $20.
As a survival horror game, maybe, but as a Silent Hill game it is pretty darn awful. While the new combat system is decent, and I REALLY liked a lot of the enemies, it just wasn't as psychologically scary (or deep) as other Silent Hills. Silent Hill 2 got me thinking and Silent Hill 3 gave me nightmares for weeks, but this last one seemed to just cookie-cutter the previous games. Oh, and Nightmare world looked like they just put a photoshop filter over the world and went from there.
It wasn't bad, I mean I beat it, but I wouldn't pay more than $10 for it. It's short, too, so you really would do better just renting the thing. :P
Here's hoping the next Silent Hill game goes back to the original developers.
Also, the new Silent Hill is absolutely worth $20. Don't listen to the haters
Excitebots could be worth it, but I don't really have any spare cash to spend on games at the moment.
Fear 2 for 20 bucks is a sweet deal
