[Amazon.com] PlayStation 3: Bargain Bin Games for <$20

Inclusion criteria
(i) The price should not be a limited time offer (so a "buy two Greatest Hits titles for $40" promo, or BTGO sales would not count)
(ii) The game should be generally well received. This can be rather subjective, so I suggest including games with a minimum score of 80 on Metacritic. If you feel an exception is warranted, please explain why
(iii) The TIV at EBGames, BBV etc is irrelevant
(iv) The price is for a new copy of the game
(v) Must be available in Canada

i'd recommend removing UT3, the servers are almost empty these days and its a horrible game to begin with.

Real Canadian Superstore has >$20 games such as:

For PS3
Motorstorm (greatest hits)
The Club
Beowulf
Darksector
among others that I forgot, which may interest some.

They also had shelves of 360, wii, ps2 and psp games.

This one RCSS was in Oakville off Trafalgar.

I would suggest 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. $18.98 at Superstore / Loblaws, $19.99 @ FS.

It's only 72 on metacritic, but has decent reviews from the bigger sites, and if you read the actual reviews it sounds like they enjoyed the game more than the score they assigned it. It's like the reviewers were afraid of losing gaming cred if they gave the game an 8.

This game also very recently dropped in price. Recent-ness of price drop could also be a weighting factor for list inclusion. Games like Unreal have been around $20 for seemingly years.

Thanks for the input, everybody.

Is this a permanent price drop, or a temporary promotion?

Done.

Obvious one that I missed, although it's showing as out of stock online. I've listed it as YMMV for now, but I'm sure there are other stores selling it for <$20, especially the non-GOTY edition.

Is GTA IV new or used? I might start a list for the xbox if I have time, but I'm going to focus on the PS3 for now.



Anyway, I will add the following games if the consensus amongst RFDers is that they deserve to be on it:
- 50 cent: Blood on the Sand
- The Club
- Dark Sector
- Beowulf
- Singstar bundle

I'm a big hack n slash fan and I think conan for ps3 and xbox360 is a great entry level hack n slash title for $19.99. Can be found pretty much at any retailer.

Singstar bundle is such a great party game. Not sure the reviews is really based on that. I would add it on the list for sure. Cant tell for the rest. I have beowulf here I didnt play yet :)

Edit:
82 on metacritic:

I'd give the nod to Dark Sector and 50 Cent no problem. I love third person shooters.
