    My 360 broke so I am looking for a great game to play.

    Shadow of The Colossus
    God of War
    etc etc

    ANY game that is genuinely, BRILLIANT.

    Only thing is, it has to be less than €22.64 as that's all I have left on my 3v card.

    It can be a ps2 game/pc game

    Odd request, I know. :D

    Fahrenheit for the PS2....One of the greatest and most genuinely brilliant games I've ever played! :) It takes a while to get into it but once the story kicks off it is absolutely awesome...

    Get morrowind I picked it up for 5euros with the expansions and was hooked.
    You played oblivion? by the same people, less flash but IMHO a better game with story etc.

    so close to your budget:(

    €15.49 for the Prince of Persia trilogy (worth the price for the first game alone, if you haven't played it yet...)
    €18.49 for one of the greatest games of the last generation (temporarily out of stock though...)
    €18.49 for DMC3 SE

    I agree, get RE 4, fantastic game.

    Keep in mind Morrowind is only 5 euros, best 5 euros I ever spent, I'm still playing on it two years on.

    I know :( I was gutted when I saw I didn't have enough left for Okami.

    Hmm, They're three excellent games by the sounds of it, and 3 games for €15! :eek:

    I don't know what to choose now! lol.

    Thanks for replies guys.

    If you like story, character & gorgeous design -- gotta be the PoP:The Sands of Time. No question.
    The other 2 were alright gameplay wise, but fvck me but if the design didn't take a massive leap backwards into the "pointless tits, swearing & gore" category. Felt like a POS designed specifically to appeal to scousers.

    DMC3:SE will probably kick your ass the first few times you play it, but it might have more replay value than the PoP games -- since you can play it for kicks, whereas PoP is more about story; once you finish it, I see very little reason to go back (except for PoP:TSoT, since, as mentioned, it's gorgeous).

    Psychonauts - PS2 - EUR 15.49 :)

    Rome Total War - PC - EUR 20.49

    Baldur's Gate Compilation - PC - though presumably you have already played these, if not, damnit man! - EUR 15.49 (out of stock tho :( )

    Resi Evil 4 is a must have. Someone else mentioned Fahrenheit, recommend that too.

    What about Canis Canem Edit (Bully)?

    I have every single GTA game and I think this is far different to the GTA clone that some people claim it to be, the school yard is a great setting for a game and there are many memorable missions. Great game in it's own right.

    €15.49 from Play, out of stock at the moment though.

    Or maybe Civilisation IV (PC). Very involving, deep, turn-based strategy game.
    I still play Civ2 sometimes!

    €15.49 again from Play.

    It seems to break his internet budget of €22.64 on his 3v card :D

    Pity, it's only €23.49 from Play and I hopefully should be getting it in the post today or to-morrow. Happy days!

    If you haven't played Prince of Persia: Sands of Time you really should check it out. Should be going very cheap these days.

    If you like RPGs, you owe it to yourself (particularly II).

    If you persevere past the first boss Cerberus you will start enjoying it. He's a real baptism of fire and by far the toughest boss in the whole game.

    I'm with Koneko, you seriously should play both games. They are definitely among the top RPGs of all time.

    My account is declined every time. And, I have been charge €1.50 like, 5 times for what I think is when I change my address on my card.

    So, I am not getting DMC3 and am down to €16.

    Happy days...

    :(
