Xbox 360: The Best of the Bargains
It is important to be money-conscious in today's poor economy. Here are some of the best Xbox 360 bargains on the market right now, each title delivering great value with great game play.
NBA Street: Homecourt
The
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
Who would have thought that one of the best shooters on the 360 could also be one of the cheapest? I actually prefer the challenging strategic squad-based game play to more action-packed fair like Call of Duty. You can easily track down a copy of this top-notch shooter for less than $15.
GUNGUN was shunned by most next-gen gamers due to its lackluster, PS2-esque visuals. However, if you can get past the mediocre graphics you will find an enjoyable (if brief) Wild West action romp with a fascinating open-world design. GUN on the 360 usually runs from around $10-$15, and is well-worth the price of admission.
It’s really telling about the quality of this product that I – someone who doesn’t even watch the anime or read the manga that Rise of a Ninja is based on – would enjoy this release so much. The fantastic, cel-shaded visuals really pull you into Naruto’s world and the exploration and action bits are an absolute blast. Naruto: Rise of a Ninja is $12 well spent.

naruto was a good game i think....though a little shallow, it was fun as hell.
With releases like Ass Creed 2 and GRAW 3, I expect Ubisoft to have another impressive year in 2009.
Not particularly exciting, are they. I mean for people that are more mouse-friendly than average, that is.
Overlord, I have to agree. I'm planning on purchasing the Broken Bond as well (once it hits below $20).
Funnyman, I'm just wondering if the new Ghost Recon will indeed be another GRAW entry. Some are saying that it will be Ghost Recon 3 (as in the standard series and not the Advanced Warfighter one). I'm hoping it'll be another GRAW entry as I never cared for the original ones on the first Xbox.
Gnome, you might be surprised by just how good these titles are, PC or not. Although Advanced Warfighter 2 was released on the PC...
Oh, and Burnout Paradise, too!
I think it will be Warfighter 3 on the PS3/360. Are the first Xbox GRAW games just ports of the 360 games?
I might sell off my copy of Warfighter 2... It's amazing but if Warfighter 3 comes out then I won't have any use for it.
The first two Xbox games I was referring to were Ghost Recon and Ghost Recon 2. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for the original Xbox was handled by a separate team but was built to mimic the 360 version. Of course, it's no where up to the quality of the main release.
