Classics on the cheap

Pre-owned video games offer quality game-play at a lesser price

Video games in today’s day and age are at a record high price. Drops in prices are often small and take months to occur. It’s often a tough act of love to fork over the $59.99 that most newly released video games cost.

To help remedy this situation, here are some hit video games that are well worth playing and are available pre-owned for under $15.

For all of the first-person shooter fans and any one who loves a great game as well, we have “Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.” This installment in the Call of Duty series was the game that revolutionized first person shooters and made the Call of Duty franchise the powerhouse that it is.

This game opened the door to a modern day campaign which had some absolutely epic moments, such as a sniper mission filled with ghille suits, close encounters and a Baretta .50 caliber sniper rifle. “Call of Duty 4” revamped the online multiplayer experience that we have today by including weapon camouflage, a well developed leveling system, and in depth class customization.

Although there are newer installments in the Call of Duty line, none are available for the low price of $9.99. This is a steal for the quality of game that you are getting. Definitely a must have for any sort of video game library.

If you’ve ever had the desire to know what it’s like to have super natural powers and a city full of enemies to test them out on, “Bioshock” is the game for you.

“Bioshock” is set in an underwater city called Rapture. The game weaves an intricate story as it follows one man, Jack, on his journey through Rapture. It is a masterpiece of a single player campaign and is looked at as a pioneer of the “choose your own destiny” type of game.

This is an absolute classic and a game that is always worth another play through. It’s available pre-owned for $12.99 a rock bottom bargain for a top shelf game. Some other great games that are all available pre-owned for $15 or cheaper are “Left for Dead,” “Fable II,” “Gears of War 2,” “Prince of Persia,” “Grand Theft Auto IV,” and “Halo 3.” They may not be the newest fames, but these games are some of the hallmarks of the video game industry and as a gamer, one would be remiss to not take advantage of these deals.
