Five Awesome Games You Can Play on the Cheap
Now that we’re over the holiday hump (i.e. every game imaginable being released at the same time, oh god, why do you do this to me), a lot of sites and publications have been putting together lists of games to look forward to in the new year. Me? Nuh-uh. I don’t have the cash for that. Fallout and Dead Space alone have depleted my gaming funds for a while (not to mention a certain 360 dying enough times for me to wish ill on its relatives), and if you’re like me, you want a cheap alternative until your funds recover. Hell, even if you don’t need it, you can’t pass up a quality gaming experience on the cheap, but being a penny-pinching bastard like myself tends to help heal those imaginary wounds. So, I’ve decided to put together a list of a few old-but-still-awesome games that you can get for slightly less than the cost of a night with your mom, though they’ll probably last far longer.
You may want to note that some of these games are older and may stutter and wobble and spurt blood if you’re running more than Windows XP, so you may want to check your compatibility before you plunk down the green to have them downloaded to your inferior operating system, muahaha. Hit the jump for the rundown.

Brutal Legend Debut Trailer
Posted by Steve Van Neil Categories: Action, PlayStation 3, Trailers, Xbox 360,
Sometimes you see a game trailer that just renews your faith in the industry. Such is the case with this teaser for Brutal Legend, the latest from Tim Schafer and his Double Fine Productions. Yes, I know it’s a CG trailer, but the insane genius on display here cannot be denied. Equal parts God of War, Guitar Hero, and Heavy Metal, Brutal Legend promises to be one of the most hilarious and imaginative games of next year. Toss in the voice talents of actor/comedian Jack Black and a horde of heavy metal rockers, remind yourself that Schafer is the guy behind PC classics Full Throttle and Grim Fandango, as well as last generation’s underplayed platforming gem, Psychonauts, and you have the recipe for a truly special gaming experience.
Brutal Legend is slated to hit the Xbox 360 and PS3 next year. Inexplicably, the game’s Wikipedia entry is the only place online that has some solid info on the game, so check out the link below.
