I acctually bought that one because of how mixed in opinions i heard and read on it. lol

That's a lot of poor games. I see those in the bargain bin all the time. I would try Heavy Rain for an hour and see if I like it (personally I didn't) and throw out the rest.

I would say Heavy Rain or Mirror's Edge ... if you are looking for more action play Mirror's Edge first, and if you don't want much gameplay or player commitment then do Heavy Rain first.

Everything else on there is either bad or average. Maybe play Duke Nukem Forever after the other two. It is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be, and, in some ways, it is better than most modern shooters because it does away with annoying things that have become staples of the genre while including features that other shooters neglect (no aiming down gun sights, mini games that break up the gameplay and add variety, lots of humor which is hit or miss but mostly passable, a story that does not revolve around shooting russians or terrorists, wacky weapons and powerups)

I would say $300 sounds about right for all of those, but I don't think you got much of a deal on these. I would go as far as to say that you got ripped off if the majority of those games are not in flawless/new condition with original cover art/manual/case.

TALES OF SYMPHONIA, FORSAKE THE REST!

A lot of people have no love for Maximo or Mark of Kri, which I thought were both pretty good games. Maximo is pretty much a 3D Ghosts N Goblins, so expect a game that can be pretty tough. Mark of Kri is a stealth/action game that is great for the most part, although there's one level that basically abandons the stealth portion of the game.

Mercenaries 2 is a decent game, but expect some glitches when playing it. Sphinx is a great platformer as well, and Metal Arms is a pretty good (I remember it being difficult as well) action/shooter game with some funny dialog.

I see you inherited a game store...

Well, he said he paid close to $300 including tax and there are 55 games on the list, so that roughly works out to about $5 a game. That's not bad at all, considering there are quite a few very great games in there.

more like eventually came to my saying "I'll play those games eventually"

Battalion Wars is quite fun altough not as brilliant as the Advance Wars series, and I didn't spot Timesplitters 3 first time I looked through your list. Timesplitters is excellent, especially with a friend. It has tons of content and from what I remember there was a monkey curling mini game in it. Too bad we never got Timesplitters 4.

Wow that is not a couple haha
