Some people have plenty of money to spend on video games. Other people don't. There are also those of you who do have plenty of money but don't like spending it. Whatever category you fall into, here is a list of good, cheap games.Right now Burnout Revenge, Project Gotham Racing 4, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 8 appear to have stopped dropping in value. Now is an excellent time to pick up these titles if you haven't already.
It’s time for another addition of Point Drop Round Up. This is the feature of The Goozex Report that lets you know which of the top games are dropping in value on Goozex. These are the games you should wait to finish dropping in value before requesting. Otherwise, you run the risk of buying high and selling low.Just like last week, Grand Theft Auto IV is taking center stage. Now valued at 900 points, GTA IV did not rebound like CoD4 (even though CoD4 did drop back down to 950 points, it has the potential to go back up to 1000). It seems like gamers have grown tired of waiting for GTA's long-promised DLC to be released and are letting their copies go.
Happy Gaming to you.
Some people call it Labor Day weekend, I’m calling it Point Drop weekend. Of all the games that I’m following, eight of them experienced point drops. A couple games went up in value, like my all time favorite CoD4 (I’m happy it’s worth 1000 points because I still have not traded it yet). Perfect Dark Zero also went up in value; probably because it’s been on the Top 10 lists.The most notable games that have dropped in value are Madden’s NFL 08 and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2.
NFL 08 is now worth 400 points. It was worth 550 back on August 13. This game is dropping and it’s dropping quick. It received an 85 from Metacritic, so it might be worth checking out if you don’t mind outdated rosters. My advice is to wait for the game to stop dropping in points before you request it.
While CoD4 is still worth 1000 points, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is dropping like a rock. It’s now worth 700 points and appears to drop in value every week. Stay tuned on this one. I still haven’t played the first Rainbow game, so by the time I’m ready for it, Vegas 2 should be pretty cheap.
Here’s the list of games (that I’m tracking) that dropped 50 points over the weekend:
Now that Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 is released, it’s time for a review on Goozex point values and Metacritic scores.If you’ve never played a Tiger Woods golf game, let me recommend that you do, especially if you enjoy the sports genre. I’m currently playing the 07 version and find it very entertaining. It’s a good break from blowing stuff up. It’s also interesting to note that the 07 servers are up and running, so you can still find an online, multiplayer match, which is better than constantly beating the AI over and over. The multiplayer matches are competitive and you can place wagers to make it interesting.
Electronic Art’s TW franchise has been fairly well received by the critics, while the fans complain the year-to-year improvements are incremental at best, but that’s what Goozex is for.
TW PGA Tour 06 is currently worth 150 points. This version received the worst reviews with a cumulative 71 from Metacritic. If you’re hesitant about playing a golf game, and you haven’t joined Goozex yet, you can pick this one up for roughly $5. When you join Goozex, they give you 100 points and a free trade credit. You can then purchase an additional 100 points for $5.
Personally, I started with the 07 version of the game. Metacritic gave it an 80 and it’s currently worth 250 points. That’s a drop in the bucket for Goozex games. While you can get 06 for dirt cheap, I still recommend starting with 07. It got better reviews, it’s still cheap, and you can challenge me online. What more could you ask for?
TW 08 also got a Metacritic score of 80 and is worth 650 points. This one might drop in value over the next few weeks. It was worth 700 points on August 8 and dropped on August 25. It’s probably best to keep an eye on this one over the next month or two to see if it continues to drop in value.
TW 09 is brand spanking new and currently has the best Metacritic score of 88. It’s currently worth 900 points but it’s a virtual guarantee it will rise to 1000 points before it starts dropping. Currently, there are 83 requests for it and no one has made it available for trade on Goozex. You will have better luck buying it in the store than trading for it. If you do buy it, and don’t like it, then simply make it available. It will go quick.
