What $20 game should I get from BestBuy tonight?

KillerQ · 07-24-2008, 12:39 AM

Hey all,

I have a $20 BestBuy RewardZone cert. that's burning a hole in my pocket... I am going TONIGHT to get a Wii game

What decent games does Best Buy have at the moment that are 20 bucks or less? I dont want to spend any more...

What do you suggest, and why?

thanks,

Matt!

I'm probably too late, but I saw Williams Pinball at BB for $20. If you don't own it already, it's a no-brainer.

Go to their website. I don't they have much for 20 bucks for Wii at best buy though.

Get Geometry Wars! $19.99!!!

Hey...

You're not too late - I didn't make it tonight... BUT, Williams Pinball is top on my list - I was hoping it was only $20. From all of the reviews, the graphics, and physics look stunning!!!!

I thought about Geo. Wars - it has cool graphics, but I think pinball has better replay value - especially when friends (non gamers) are over...

Later,

Matt!

P.S. Keep suggestions coming, i'll let you know what i get!

According to Best Buy's website, here's a list of games (that I think are worth buying) for $20:

Red Steel
Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law
The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night

Obviously there are a ton more, but they're mostly shovelware titles in my opinion.

i belive zach and wiki is a best buy for 19 bucks, i saw it 4 days ago when i went to best buy

btw, canadian best buy

I would recommend The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night only because I played a couple of Spyro games on the PS1 and liked them, way back when that is. I don't know how they'd be on the Wii, but I would give it a try if I have the available cash on hand.

Good luck in your picking.

I heard the spyro games sucked, but who knows? :P

1337endo · 07-24-2008, 04:58 AM

I bet it does

But you never know, KillerQ may love it.

EDIT: The early Spyro games for the PS1 were enjoyable IMO. So, I wouldn't know about this Wii version, GameSpot didn't like it too much.

Zack & Wiki or Williams Pinball.

Atomheart · 07-24-2008, 07:18 AM

I too have $20 to spend. Should I get the Wii pinball game or a used copy of The Orange Box for the 360?

LOL! Pinball sounds sweet, though, man!

They seriously make pinball video games? Can I please get a darts, air hockey, dice, solitaire, and basic walking game?

As if pinball machines themselves weren't horribly outdated and basically obsolete, let's just make a game that removes all of what makes pinball decent--the actual experience of playing pinball.

Seriously, don't waste your money. If you're stuck to $20, get Zach & Wiki. Or spend an extra $10 and get RE4, one of the few good Wii games.

zapasant93 · 07-24-2008, 10:41 AM

lol, i thought you were actually having doubts there for a sec betwee the awesomeness of the orange box and pinball there for a sec

Get a WiiPoints card and download a VC or WiiWare game or two.

zapasant93 · 07-24-2008, 10:47 AM

^^ooooooooooo, thats actually a good idea

go with what he said

What? I just can't believe anyone would drop $20 on a freaking pinball game. Is that the level that Wii owners have sunk for entertainment?

Then go play Halo, stop being an ass.
Don't you get out at all? Not everyone plays games 24.7 some people can drop a few bucks after they WORK and like to play a fun game with their GIRLFRIEND or FRIENDS.

I have faith if you took a walk, you might meet someone. Don't troll a board that you really have no buisness with anymore. If you had anything worthwhile to hear, I wouldn't care.

I've had 3 360's a PS3 and all past gen systems, I prefer the Wii, and I used to play games all the time as a kid. Nothing wrong with it, it's what you prefer. you like eye-candy graphics, dual analog sticks, and competitive fps online play? Good for you, have fun, go talk about the wii being shit on 360 boards.
