Default Great games you may have missed

The 360 is getting to that point in its life where there are large numbers of games selling for £10-15 both new and second hand, some of these are good games that people may have missed the fist time around. This thread is dedicated to games that people might have missed and could give a good cheap gaming fix. Lets keep it to the current generation of consoles and PC games less than 3 years old

I'm curently playing Condemned 2, picked it up for £10 and its a cracker, I really like the investigation sections and the games is really atmospheric, I dismissed it first time around but I'd definately recomend it.

Also Stranglehold, the first few levels of this are great, it borrows heavily from Max Payne but that is no bad thing, I've found the difficaulty is ramping up quite quickly but its certainly a lot of fun. Can be had for ~£10 in Blockbuster and other 2nd hand retailers.

If you're after really good value then I have to include Just Cause, its a top game in the vein of GTA 3/4 and has masses of missions to do, although it can get a little samey the driving, flying and boat piloting are all a lot of fun I remember us lads havings hours of fun flying into bridges

A few I've missed on PC include the original Half Life (which I just got for £1 from Ssteam), DeusEx (the original) and Thief 1 and 2. Can't say I've missed anything else really.

I managed to miss out on God of War. I picked it up a couple of weeks before the release of God of War 2 and was utterly blown away.

Dead Rising. It came out fairly early in the 360's life and it can be had for a few quid now. In my opinion one of the best games you'll find on the 360, not only is it a wonderful game full of innumerable ways to kills zombies, but it also serves as a great training tool when the eventual zombie apocalypse happens. For the achievement whores out there, it's not an easy game to score highly on, but you get an immense feeling of satisfaction when you manage to get some of the harder achievements. Without a doubt a game that should be in the collection of every Xbox 360 owner.

I would genuinely say it's one of the greatest games ever made. To get a game where you have instant smashing of zombies and loads of laughs, to then add a depth to it in level progression, missions progressions and developments as well as the 8 story endings puts it on a level comparible to any RPG out there.

Never has a game so in your face and action packed had such depth to it. Genius.

If you enjoyed that, try Prizefighter, finished the career last week and i really enjoyed it, a great laugh, and a good campaign along the lines of Fight Night 3.

You should be able to pick that up cheap as well.

Ill also like to pimp quantum of solace, while it will get overlooked just now with all the great games out, grab it when its cheaper, uses the COD4 engine, and plays a fantastic game.
