What under $20 Xbox game should I get?

[GOLDEN KEYS]

I have a free 3 month trial of Amazon prime (I think everyone is given that offer right now when you check out) and that means free two day shipping on anything sold by Amazon.

I want to order a 360 game today so I'll have it by the weekend (my weekend starts Thursday)... which would you recommend?

-Timeshift $17

-Jericho $12

-Mass Effect $20

-Condemned 2 $17

-Bioshock $20

-Something else???


I only have a few 360 games (Halo 3, ODST, Modern Warfare 2, L4D 2, Gears of War 2, Dead Space) so I am open to suggestions if you know of a great cheap game.

Thanks!!

Dead Rising is a freaking blast and greatest hitsized so it's nice and cheap.

For those on your list, Mass Effect and Bioshock are the best bets.
There are many other games for under $20 you can find though that may be more to your tastes. What are your favorite genres? It seems that you're big into FPS games.

I definitely recommend Bioshock.

[Deadman]

Of those on your list:

-Timeshift $17 - This one was okay, not great, but some fun
-Jericho $12 - heard nothing but bad on this one. Target dropped it to $5 and it still sat there for awhile.
-Mass Effect $20 - a great game
-Condemned 2 $17 - don't know much about it as I didn't play it.
-Bioshock $20 - game of the year in 2007.

Others to consider:

Crackdown is great, and CD2 is coming soon
Mirrors Edge was a lot of fun and different
Riddick: Dark Athena was pretty good, but I didn't finish it yet.

Timeshift's PC demo was fun, and the original Condemned was great. 'course you can get more play time out of some of the others, I'm sure.

If you're going for good games, with replayability i'd recommend either Mass Effect or BioShock of the list you gave us.

Jericho has a very forgettable story and eh gameplay/controls. If you're an achievement whore, get the game put in the cheat codes, and be done with it forever in 6 hours.

TimeShift is another 'eh' game. Little reason to go back to it once you've finished it as well.

Dude, just call around to your local Blockbuster video stores. They are selling Mass Effect for $9.99. I just bought one the other day. There are lots of other good games they are selling for $9.99, like Dead Space and Far Cry 2.
