When people say sequels are worse they need to check out this list! that's a great little pickup might do me own £10 challenge if i can get down there haha.
@@pyschocurt sequels can be amazing, I had not realised what I had done till started filming 😅 but stand by it, do it mate still great games for cheap out there 🤘
Alright my list would be, Borderlands 1 : £1.50 Borderlands 2 : £1:50 Gears of war 1/2/3 - £3.50 Mass effect 2 : £1.50 Mirrors edge : £1 Halo 3 - £1:50 I'll be a cheat and go 50p over.
@@pyschocurt mirrors edge, interesting choice, not played that in a while... let you off 50p to get all 3 gears in there 😅
@@gentlemanofgames For me it was a bit of an anomaly I had 0 interest in it until played it and when i did it was just so good! spent hours "racing" my mates in the time trials and the game itself was fantastic i just have real fond memories with it and £3:50 for such a strong trilogy! i'd argue one of the best trilogies going in gaming haha.
Id have to squeeze a racer in there maybe dirt. Also thing i find most annoying about youtubers these days is the big pile of 'gifts' they get every week. Dont send me anything....but if you do make sure....
@@j1m909 I just missed out forza motor sport mate for me, TBH I get offered stuff often but say no if it's to sell on as dont want to profit but appreciate an unwanted item for the collection. Some channels do promote it and dedicate videos to it which I agree is a bit much 🤘
@@gentlemanofgames 100% mate if it's unwanted and no sell on value but its expensive stuff they could trade in themselves for their own collection. It's like trying to buy a friendship to me it's all a bit cringey.
A pretty good list you got there. While I have both an Xbox 360 and a PS3, my heart belongs to the PS3 :), but there would be a lot of crossover between the two lists! I’d add: COD 4: Modern Warfare Batman Arkham Asylum Mass Effect 2 Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands Infamous 2 (PS3 exclusive) Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls (PS3 exclusives). In the Canadian market, these games are really relatively cheap and common.
@@bimbibenny yeah they are well priced over here too mate. You are more an asylum guy... I like it.sands of time is a great shout, PS3 over here tends to be just a tad pricier than 360
Good list all iconic games for the generation. Its half past midnight im at work with paper work to do but heres my list. Disclaimer i wanted to put Left 4 Dead in but both titles are over £10 these days. Halo 3 £1.50 Rainbow Six Vegas 2 £1 PES 13 £1.50 Gears 2 £1 Dead Rising £3 Resi 5 £2
@@CrozzymodoYT ooooh resident 5, great shout. TBH I wanted fallout 3 but the price hike is shocking atm. Hope work went well mate 😉 great list
Great choice of video and the selection of games are really good mate. Loved this one 👊🏻 have a great week mate! I’d have stuck a Call Of Duty game in maybe black ops, a fifa game or pes
@@retrosmashtv thank you mate, mucha appreciated you too 👌 I did have fifa 15 in the short list but it felt wierd putting a fifa in there 🤔
I've platinumed every Mass Effect on insanity on PS4 would of done it on PS3 but online is a factor. However is one is peak 360 titles as and RPGs. All of them. Personally, another incredible 360 game is crackdown. The OG.
@@invalidblackout crack down is a great shout mate, I had a few on the shortlist that didnt make it in, mass effect series (including 3) is an amazing piece of gaming history
You are soo right.. uk youtubers with Cex challenge/hunts.. dubstep ultimate editions are pretty overdone nowadays lol (along with independent shop tours but I digress XD) I'll be honest I'd have gone with Mass Effect 1 and Dead Rising.. because they were exclusive on release.. but ME2 and DR2 are good for newcomers.. I'd also suggest Dragon Age 1 and Lost Odyssey (although abit more expensive nowadays) and a Forza :D But still solid choices for alot of gameply @ minimal cost :D
Forza was in the shortlist mate, love dragon age great shout and I can see why you would go ME1 over ME2 but God I loved ME2 😁 TBH when I was editing the video I thought I was coming off a bit more critical than funny but think it's funny (and true 😅) cheers for watching mate 🤘
I'm really surprised you didn't include Halo 3. A Halo game should be in everyone's collection, whether you enjoy them or not.
@@monsterhavoc4474 halo was on the shortlist mate, wont lie I'm not a huge halo fan, but can appreciate its influence on the system, if was £20 or would have made it for me 😉
This was a great video. Loved it. I see PS3 and Wii next. Think I’d only swap Xcom for Halo 3. I have recently got into Xcom on 360 and am enjoying it but Halo 3 would pip it in my list. This was fun amazing what awesomeness you can get for £10 given the crazy prices on 360 at the moment 1. Deus Ex HR £1 2. Dishonoured £1 3. Skyrim £1.50 4. Halo 3 £1.50 5. Bioshock £2.50 (when did it get to £2.50!) 6. Gears of War £1 7. Tiger Woods 13 £1.50 (I did love the Tiger Woods games)
@@josejacobuk yeah when did bioshock get to £1.50 😅 great list, but wont lie not a tiger woods fan. Halo 3 was on the shortlist mate but I have wayyy to big a thing for xcom to leave it off, there was a few I feel others would want over xcom but coyldnt leave it off 😁
I didn't play Xbox 360 or PS3. A little PS1, more PS2, and also Gameboy was me. But I've started picking up some Xbox 360 games on the cheaper side so this video was for me really. So far I've picked up Arkham Asylum and City, LA Noire because it looks interesting, Bioshock 1 & 2 and NHL15 because it's the most recent hockey game for the system. Others to pick up at some point Arkham Origins, Bully, The Ghostbusters, both GTA's of course, staple, Sleeping Dogs, Skate and now probably Assassins Creed.
Oh mate they are all great games and the 360 library, in my opinion, is the best (PS3 obviously just as good) I'm thinking of going through my 360 games with some play suggestions as soooo many I could suggest on top of them. Fallout 3 is a must too
Excellent choices there mine would be Borderlands 1 Batman arkham city Mass effect 2 Halo 3 Assissins creed 2 Battlefield bad company 2 LA Noire
@@Church1336 nice list, borderlands was on my shortlist, didnt think about la noire but great shout... love the list mate
The 360 is my favourite console too. Aiming for a full pal set eventually which will be hard and expensive but it's the only console I collect for. My list would be (trying to avoid the same ones as you) Gears of war 1 (personal fave) Halo 3 Dishonored Fable 2 Sleeping dogs Viva pinata and forza motorsport 2 bundle All for the sum of £10.
@@Steve-t6u hard to di that mate, best of luck to ya 😉 fable 2, halo 3 where on my shortlist TBH just missed out on mine
Some good choice of games there. Dead Space 2 is on of my favourite, GOW games are awesome with a mate. I think little Timmy should be introduced to Fable also. Great video as always.
@@Xerofucx Fable 2 just fell off the list with a few others, if I had done for £20 you bet it would be on there, £2 I think it is 🤔
Some great picks there buddy. Especially xcom and dead space. Still hurts me that dead space 3 was not as good as the first 2.
Yeah I know, but it's an ok co-OP experience, they tried too much (still need to give calypso a go TBF) thanks for watching 🤘
some amazing recommendations there GOG! just proves the 360 is still very cheap to get into! great vid!
@@lawnasRetro some great games yet to be impacted by the price hike 👌
Watching your videos I learn something new all of the time.😌 🤗 🙂
@@user-tv5hl8zu9s that's great to hear mate 😁 hope it's useful information 😉
Love this. I have been collecting a lot of Xbox 360 and Xbox One games - Xbox One games are so, so cheap and run so well on the Series X! Subscription services are never there forever, but with a physical you can always play it!
@@ChilliKnightOG gald you agree mate, my sentiments exactly having a physical collection can never be beaten by gamepass, thanks for watching 🤘
You should look into getting a memcard pro or pro2 if you use alot of memory cards. I just purchased the pro 2, waiting on delivery but looks a great modern accessory for ps1/ps2.
I do use quite a few and some are full of memory I wouldn't delete so that is a good shout TBF, I'll do some googling look into them thanks for the tip 👍
@@gentlemanofgames I think it's £40 for the pro2. When memory cards are 5-10 each its a relatively small sum when it works across two consoles with virtually unlimited saving space. Mine just turned up, looks great in the transparent black!
@@alexhanson7623 glad it's what you were expecting mate, I'll defo give it a look, your right not cheap but compared to standard ones it's good value 🤘

@@Mango_Tango316 I need to get on them mate and the 360 games, love s bit of spiderman 🤘
I like the idea might do the same insted of playstation plus
Nice to have a stack of games for the collection when finished playing mate 👍
too many of these pickups would go for good money on ebay, why do you bother with CeX?
that loose wii sports disc will probably sell the same day, the sleeve on its own won't take much time to sell either. the controllers can go for much more than 2£, even with the wires missing,
I used to be an Ebay reseller but after fees and the feeling that always dealing with a problem it was too much so sropped. I use vinted how and FB marketplace but mainly CEX. It's just easier and all I'll spend the money on is games so voucher works for me 😁 thanks for watching 👍
I went to the cinema to watch barnyard when I was younger for my birthday
Your barnyard is my chicken run 😅 I cannot remember it coming out TBH
Never one to comment and I'm ashamed to say I rarely "like" many of the videos I watch across KZread in a week but I always make a point of doing so for yours... Top man, keep up the great content my friend 👍
Mate that means a lot thank you very much. I used to be the same, I still only do if I feel its deserved though 👊 thanks for watching and dont be a stranger in the comments 🤘
Not a bad week at all there ben buddy 😄 I've never played that micro machines game bud but you have defo got me interested in giving it a bash 😀 im sure ive heard good things about eat lead.... its worth having just for the title 😂
So unfortunately the micro machines servers are down so 80% of the game is gone, just single and 2 player race 😭 is good but only if super super cheap 🤘
Never played the _Micro Machines_ games, but I’ve played a few of its clones and found them fun!
Turns out servers are down for this so can only do 2 player mode or single race 😭
That boxed DS… wow. Crazy that after all these years it’s in such good condition!
I was amazed to find it in that condition mate, and to get a second for £10...awesome find 🤘
I'm buying cheap xbox360 games because I bought all the expensive ones yrs ago when they wasn't expensive
Yeah the 360 boom is a thing 😩 I'm the same I have a lot of them... wish I picked up a few others though before it happened
Love the videos mate, I played eat lead not so long ago and really enjoyed it myself

Enjoyed the vid, you got some nice pickups! Touchmaster 😂
@@B3njam1n008 cheers mate 🤣😉🤘
Those DS cartridges play roms on the DS, so you load the microsd card with games and you’re able to play them on the DS. They’ll probably sell on Vinted quite easily I imagine
@@SuperMegaDave_ yeah think I'm going to try the roms see how easy it is. If not vinted is a great shout to get something out of them 🤘
The R4 cards are quite a good find, if you don't want to download games you will be able to get around a tenner each for them, maybe more if you fill them with roms
@@fragzgaming6022 yeah I think I'm going to give it a go, if I can do it I might keep them. If not I'll put them on vinted... dont ever find them out and about really 👍
Literally download the roms and drop them in the folder on the SD card . Super simple @@gentlemanofgames

Box sets are good to sell if you can find them but checking the discs is no fun.

Exactly. You can't trade if they ain't all in good condition which is rare to find.

Ds emulator, used to use a rom site put em on to the r4 and boom 🎉entire nintendo library
Is that another 3DS?!
It was a DS, I'm alright with that 😂
@@cy8646 🤣🤣🤣 noon that would just be taking the Michael, still accepting keeping these DS consoles is not necessary
Hey regarding those ds carts just find ds roms on the web then drag and drop them onto the ds card. Insert the sd card into the usb stick and plug it into your computer
@@adrianmj3595 cheers mate, yeah few people have highlighted what I need to do with, I'm going to do what you have said see if can do it... if not vinted them 🤣
I usually don't like emulating and things like that but I love those little DS carts! Random! Awesome video mate!
Good old r4 card. I use it to put all my games on them so I don’t have to travel with all my ds games
@@RetroHead-od3cu thank you mate, yeah I have my retro pie for the old stuff just so can experience them using emulation but that's all I really have 🤘
@@indy5280 that's a great idea, the travel aspect would be really convenient 🤘
R4 carts can emulate older consoles but the main benefit if them is to add ds roms.
The r4 cards for the ds are used to play roms you've downloaded from t'internet. I've got one and have borrowed many ds games that way.
@@mearcat306 yeah looks like a few people know what they are, must be me just never coming across them before, but I'm defo going to give a go 👊
The Ninja Gaiden Sigma games are essentially remasteres/remakes of the original Ninja Gaiden games from Xbox. As for the R4 cards for DS, they are essentially rom cards so you can put downloaded roms onto the card and play them on the system. You should easily be able to find where to put the roms by looking for the games already on there.
@@dirtyshubb yeah I have put it in my laptop and figured out what's going on so might give it a go 👊 Is that what sigma is, I didnt know that explains why not on the 360, that's for the info, defo staying in my little PS3 collection 🤘

Wicked Celtics hat! I agree about Gamepass. I'm so sick of it but that's just me. I do regret pre-ordering a Series X I loved Deus Ex. I just wish it didn't end abruptly, but it was a stealth game that truly tested me. Crackdown 3 was decent, but 1 will always be the best. Great video idea and purchases all around!
