So you got a screaming new Xbox 360 over the holidays, finally! Maybe you got a game or two with the system, but you’re of course itching for something new and exciting to play. Luckily for you, the Xbox 360 has been out for over three years and you’ve got plenty of low cost options! Check out our recommendation for the best games to snap up for cheap.
Dark Sector This game is relatively unknown, but really is a diamond in the rough. Amazing graphics, pulse-pounding gameplay, and a great experience await you for under $10! There is a long single player campaign that is sure to keep you occupied for many nights, and who wouldn’t want to remove enemy body parts with a flying disc under your control?
Perfect Dark Zero Nintendo 64 aficionados will recognize the name Perfect Dark and either instantly get excited or make a face of disgust. Perfect Dark was rather innovative as far as gameplay on N64 was concerned, but ended up being a rather tedious game to play at the time. Launched with hugely positive reviews, the new adaptation of Perfect Dark features a stunning array of weapons and an involved story line that will keep you glued to the controller.
Project Gotham Racing 4 Don’t worry, we didn’t forget about you racing enthusiasts. Now this isn’t a hardcore simulation like the Forza series, but you won’t feel like you’re playing an 80’s arcade game. The graphics and variety of cars are stunning and online gameplay is a must with this title.
Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball 2 Ridiculously long title aside, this game is not one that entertains with quality. Clearly you are playing volleyball and there are some other minigames involved. But the true value in this game comes in the high quality models used to render the beautiful female cast of this tribute to male fantasy. Don’t expect something you play for hours every night, but this certainly is worth a spin for periodic entertainment.
Forza Motorsport 2 This game is for the hardcore racer in all of us. The physics are so real that you’ll start to feel like you can pilot your own tincan through the turns at Sebring or Laguna Seca. You have a dizzying array of cars to choose from, but the choices don’t stop there. Play in career or “arcade” mode, play single player or online, customize your car with a variety of parts upgrades and then tune your car with the higher level upgrades. This isn’t like Need for Speed where you adjust “turbo” and “brakes,” you get to adjust everything from tire pressure to suspension stiffness to gearing. This game is guaranteed to occupy your life, and that’s before you get sucked into the world of online racing.
I tried to subscribe to your sites RSS using FeedDemon but I get the following error: unexpected T_STRING on line 46, I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong, does anyone have any idea how I would correct this?
Great website you have here. Have you tried using movable version? I wanted to know why you would prefer wordpress over movable version as I heard it has some pros and cons
Hello, that is a nice idea for a list, maybe some updates on it would be cool. Like a monthly thing or whatever. I have only played PGR 4 but am thinking about get Forza. If only they did gran turismo on xbox 360 i’d be set. =(
Forza 2 was quite good, but now new version is also available. I like the other games too and its quite affordable too. Would come here for more information on this kind of games.

I would add Dead Rising to that mix instead of Dead or Alive.
