$29.99 Games - Keep Them Coming

In a brief post last month I mentioned that Ghost Squad was a pretty good game for only $29.99. Now, I have another to mention, that being the just released Endless Ocean. After reading through the IGN Review, which you can read here, I was still feeling "iffy" about the game. Then I read the last sentence, "Did I mention it's only $29.99?" Now I'm still not sold on the game, but I am no longer as "iffy" as I once was.

It's a very attractive price and I'm glad that it's not disappearing, despite the fact that we're seeing an increase in the number of $59.99 games on the 360 and Playstation 3. Not only that, but we're seeing a larger amount of quality titles for only 30 bucks. In a world where we've had consoles that are $600 and games that are over $100 it's refreshing to know that I can still drop a smaller amount of change and get a fun console game.

So after finding out about Endless Ocean's surprisingly low cost I'm going to have to take a second look at it, and I suggest that you do too. If I get some free time I'll try and make a list of the best Wii games at $29.99, so check back later if you're a penny pincher like me.
