I'm sarting a new series of threads, touching on seemingly random questions and topics, because I have absolutely nothing to do for a week and a half.

Games with insane value proposition. I'll start the list off two games.

1) The Orange Box. 

This collection of Valve games included Half-life 2 (along with both of it's dlc's), Team Fortress 2, and the newcomer, Portal. The catch here is that two of these three games were brand-new. There was argubly no weak link in this collection, with each game being awesome in it's own right. 

2) Rare Replay

 When someone says "30 games for 30 dollars" you probably picture a shovelware Wii title with 30 half-assed minigames, not a compilation of past games made by one of the best developers back in it's time. Even though not all the games are great, the timeless classics in there like Banjo, Conker, and Perfect Dark make this one of the best steals in history imo.

Thoughts? Also, are there any other games anyone can think of?

Any of the EDF games. Especially EDF 4.1: The Shadow Of New Despair. If you like it, and get hooked, your PS4/PC could become your EDF machine.

No one? Bummer.

Games that embrace mods. I'm replaying Fallout 4 right now with a survival sim mod that overhauls much of the game. This is easily going to end up as my most played game and eclipse Skyrim.

Skyrim, of course, is another one. I downloaded a vampire overhaul mod and pretty much played from start to finish as a vampire.

I don't know about "insane", but I was really impressed by Bayonetta 2 packing the original in with all of their games.

"Thoughts? Also, are there any other games anyone can think of?"

If only the graphics were better...

Binding Of Isaac Afterbirth+

I'm about 800 hours in

At the time The Orange Box was such good value. 

But now, TF2 on its own represents infinite value being free and a top multiplayer FPS 

I've spent almost 400h with Hyrule Warriors...

Other adequate mentions: Xenoblade Chronicles X and Smash Bros.
