Such cheap games everywhere... recommend me some good classics

[TanisHalfElven]

I was looking on amazon and was amazed to find the ridiculous number of games i have longed to play for less than 20. Soul caliber 4-5, tekken, gran tourismo.

I have both a xbox 360 and ps3 but i guess i've been so busy with grad school and work that i neglected gaming. Now its so cheap i can't resist.

So i have 2 questions... when the hell did games get to cheap.
And 2, recommend me 2 or 3 games that are fun, don't require enormous time commitments, and most importantly can be played in short bursts.

Thanks

Games that are a couple years old that are still in stock need some way to fly off the shelves, that's why prices get reduced.

Good low time commitment games seem to be FPS games. You could run the bioshock games 1 & 2. Also call of duty modern warfare 1,2,3 are good for fairly short plays and all these games either have the ability to save where you want or regular save points so you can play in short bursts.

Gears of War 3 and Halo: Reach are both $19.99

If you never played Fallout 3, the GOTY edition with all DLC is $19.99. Rather huge game but I find can be played for 30 minutes at a time and still make decent progress. Fast travel and save system make things very flexible.

Crackdown 1 is a lot of fun. It's Robocop meets Spider-man.

Yeap, agree.
I can add that if you want to play in "small bursts", don't buy games with a strong plot. I mean serious games that should be watched like a movie buy some races or arcades.
