Tomb Raider For 360 for $29.99 at BB.

I just picked Tomb Raider for the 360 for $29.99 at Bestbuy. If you don't have a copy already, this a great game at great price.

It is a great game and I highly recommend it. Very fun. A bit on the easy side, but definitely worth checking out at that price.

Yes. Condemned is one of the best games on the system. I know they are different genres, but I'd pick up Condemned over TR at that price.

Condemned and Tomb Raider at great values at that price. They have some moderate replay value, but the Condemned "experience" is one of the scariest on any home system.

Ridge Racer isn't worth $0.20.

Cool, I already have Tomb Raider, but I really wanted to get Condemned after playing the demo but couldn't pull myself to drop $60 on a game everyone says is short. For $30 that's no problem though.

FWIW, TR is shorter than Condemned. Condemned is a little more difficult which adds to time, as well as replay for achievements(impossible to get them all in one go through). I paid full for both, but I'd say Condemned was worth the $60 while TR worth

Sorry, I could be wrong....I thought I read it in the DOOM thread actually. My mistake.

FAR CRY is also $29.99 at Best Buy.

Well Condemned does show up at $39.99 on the BB website, so that's still not too bad. Sounds a hell of a lot better than $59.99.

Awesome! I've been waiting for a price drop so I could pick this one up. No time like the present.

I'll pipe in and once again vouch for Condemned. It's still up there as the best title I've played so far on the 360. Dead Rising is a VERY close #2.

Condemned is an incredible game. I loved it. I actually bought it for its full Canadian retail price, after I had rented it and beat it - I love it that much.

Man, Comdemned is freakin' awesome. I'm was playing it on a 56" screen with the DD surround cranked up last night and I was shittin' bricks. This is some scary stuff I still haven't found any of the metal pieces though

Most of them are behind boxes, or desks that you have to move to find them. Big clue:

Spoiler:
Look for the eyes. There are always dozens of eyes painted on the wall near a metal piece.

Thanks, found my first metal piece and it was just as you described.
