It's good to lag behind the cutting edge games by a year or so.  Once you're used to not playing the newest doo-hickey, you realize that last years games are pretty good, and the price simply can't be beat.

I'm not a big gaming guy, but I got Metal Gear Solid 3 for Christmas and it's good.

You're gonna love that game.  One of, if not the best I've ever played.

got NFL Street 2 for 20 bucks.  Fun game to play.    1/2

Agreed.  Get the games at $10-20 rather than $40-60.

Anyone heard about this game yet?

Looks interesting for now.

Just started the new Prince of Persia. Right off the bat the graphics don't seem as good as the last one, but still a pretty good game. Just getting started with it but I'll probably like it. I also liked the sound track on the last one better. It's probably not as good as the last one but still a good time.

After reading people's remarks on their hatred for the game:

I'm back playing Madden 06 now that i have the new tv.  Can't stop playing in franchise mode.

I just got 2 of these the other day for $10.  Just plug em into your tv and play madden and nhl 95.

I'm waiting to get it used. Give me an update if you see this.

I've played the new Prince of Persia. It was my least favorite out of the 3, but it was still a very good game, and fun just like the others.

I think it starts off a little too slow, and the puzzles and traps are way too easy until about the last 4 hours of the game.

I've been attracted to Madden of late. Eagles are 10-0 so far. #1 in passing 32nd in rushing... 

The new Persia is definitely the least produced of the three but it is still a good game. I'm glad it was a gift. Worth the pick up if you like the series, but I would definitely get it used or 2nd run.

They've got similar ones out with a bunch of old Atari games.  I think they come with like 10 games though for somewhere around the same price.

Thanks. I felt the second one was the best so far. I wish they'd drop the price of used games, $45 instead of $50 for a game that's been out 2 months isn't a whole hell of a discount.

I FINALLY got Resident Evil 4 (PS2) and it's pretty tight.  Spooky as hell.  I dare somebody to try and play it with the lights on.
