    Hey GiantBomb! 
     
    Some might have noticed that I haven't been active in the last 4 months because I have had not internet and have moved dosen's of times. 
     
    Any way, on topic here, I want to know a good 360 game that I can have fun but is super cheap. Not an XBLA game but something that's old and I can get some GS maybe. I'm looking at Fable II, and seriously I haven't played through it yet. Thanks in advance. 
     
    Or even a game on PC that has Achievements.

    Your achievement list tells me that you haven't played Bioshock yet. You should ;) And give Mass Effect another shot. Also there's Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. And Splinter Cell: Double Agent.

    Thanks Brosef, Star Wars is still actually quite a bit over here still and I finished both Bioshock and Mass Effect on PC, sadly no GS from them. Thanks though. I might be able to snag Double Agent off a friend because I own it on Steam but haven't downloaded it yet.

    Fable 2 is fun if you're looking to kill time and that style interests you.  I'll just warn you now though, do not get in that game for the story.

    FEAR and FEAR 2 are pretty inexpensive now if you like horror, you might want to play those first with the probable third installment coming out sooner than later.

    If you go to Gamestop or Gamestop.com, they are having a sale. You can get up to 50% off select games on all kinds of consoles, there's quite a few 360 games. Also if you order over the internet you get an extra 10% off. Not a bad deal.

    Check out EBgames, or GAME at the moment. The Australian ones of course. They have some cheap stuff. I'm quite sure NZ is considered part of the Australian section of these stores.

    You really want to play the first F.E.A.R. on PC. Unless the console version has leaning, in which case, go nuts. It's great, as is F.E.A.R. 2. \

    orange box? terrible for GS but great games on there. bioshock, oblivion, fable 2 is relaxing/easy, dead rising gets my personal vote though the achievements in that game are brutal as hell dont expect 1000/1000. someone said dead space that was my favorite game from 2008 so hit that up too!

    My votes are BioShock, Dead Rising, and Viva Piñata for cheap and fun. 
     
    For cheap and good (a.k.a. really intense and powerful games, but not necessarily as fun,) add Dead Space to the list. 
     
    Also, Fable II is definitely NOT fun. When people enjoy the random jobs more than combat, there's a problem there.

    Hisui's so much more awesome than Kohaku, although really if you combined the two that would be much better. 
     
    I got Too Human for $8 from Game recently. Australian $8 that is. Which is what...$6US? Havn't tried it though, so whether it's fun or not is a different story.

    I have played Dead Space and it was awesome, Orange Box I got on PC and loving it still because of TF2 but I didn't enjoy this on Xbox. Burnout Paradise I'm a nut and have all the DLC. Fable II looks to be worthy.

    darkness It is under $10 at most place and a really fun shooter.  The others listed are good as well.

    It depends on your definition of fun. Bioshock & F.E.A.R. are pretty straightforward FPS games (in terms of gameplay, and F.E.A.R. does have leaning on the 360), Dead Rising is a pretty tough game that practically requires pre-leveling. So if you want to sit back and blast face, Bioshock or F.E.A.R. (I prefer Bioshock), if you want to constantly micromanage and live under the gun, Dead Rising is it.

    I'd say the Darkness. You can probably pick it up for $10 or less. One of the most underrated games on the system.

    Seconded. But if you do decide to get that, then get it for PC. TF2 on PC is a whole different game at this point than it is on console.
     
    Otherwise, I'm going to have to go with Deadly Premonition.

    Bioshock 1 and Oblivion combo is an amazing value. Also Mass Effect 1 is cheap now. I also believe Dead Rising, Devil May Cry 4 and Lost Planet are bundled together.

    Banjo Kazooie Nut's and Bolts is a fantastic game that was sadly overlooked by a lot of people. You owe it to yourself to pick it up.
