Everything in my game collection is highly reccomended.... with a couple of conditions:

Don't buy either Deadly Creatures or Geometry Wars: Galaxies at full price.... well Galaxies depends on how much you like that type of game, but I would say don't pay more than whatever comes to 3/4 of normal game price wherever you live. Deadly Creatures is a really nice game, but I can't see how my total time spent on it will even reach 20 hours, and that is going through all 3 difficulty levels... while if you go straight through the story on easy it will probably be about 7 hours. Thus I deem the game half price at best.

Galaxy wars is normally 40% of full price (in US).  I agree it wouldn't be worth it at $50.

There are relatively very few (far fewer than what's currently selling at that price) games worth full $50 price.  (Maybe a dozen out of the hundreds of games.  A lot are worth $30, and luckily there are dozens that are worth more but you can get for great deal at only $20 and surprisingly you can get some new for $10 that are worth more than that.

I don't buy many games at, or often anywhere near full price.... but the majority I would not have been displeased had I bought them at full price. Endless Ocean was a budget price game at launch, but in retrospect would have happily paid £35 (seems to be standard launch Wii price)

Geometry Wars is so far the cheapest Wii disc I have bought, at £8.... which I believe is equivalent to the price of Retro Evolved on the X360, and considering RE is like 1/60th of Galaxies it was well worth it.

And yes, most of my collection can be found now for even less than I bought them for.... especially if you are willing to go 2nd hand. I bought Metroid Prime 3 and No More Heroes together for £30 second hand (so £15 each) but I have seen MP3 for £15 new, and NMH for £10 new more recently.
