I loved the first Ankh so I ordered Ankh – Heart of Osiris. Are there any hidden gems in this list of games? Please leave thoughts on any or all games involved in the Madness.

Gun. Just incredible fun for a cheap game. And I have yet to try Mage KNight

It is a light tabletop strategy game. From the same man who brought you Shadow Run, Crimson Skies, BattleTech. I am unsure if the games are true to the base material.

[Psykoboy2]

At $5, Cold War could be a nice buy. But I really know NOTHING about it, except it has true X-Ray vision.

[Johan]

I would get Gun for that price on the 360...:(

[torrefaction]

Gun is a great game, highly underrated. It certainly has it's flaws, but it's a lot of fun.

[Shodan2020]

I heard GUN was good.

At $6 sounds like a steal to me.

[Shadowstorm]

There's so many awesome games coming out. Man. Money money money ...

Supreme Commander looks amazing. I think I'll pick that up this week.

[mkelehan]

I enjoyed Gun. One big, contiguous world, with a bunch of story and side missions. And, instead of just giving you money, side missions actually gave you stat increases, so if the game was too hard for you, just look for some side missions and beef yourself up.

I wish it did better. All of its rough edges could've been pretty easily smoothed in a sequel.

[Ravenlock]

Another vote for Gun. I played it on the 'Cube, and it's a fine time. I imagine with mouselook it would've been even better.

Godfather's not a half bad game for that absurdly low price, either, but I just don't know if I can play it any other way, having played it on the Wii. It's the one game out so far where the Wii version just far and away trumps every other system you can buy it on.

[karak]

I have been plaging Gun since I made the post on this thread earlier. Man its a fun damn game. The 360 version is only a bit better than the xbox version but its great. I trully hope they make a sequal like was announced months ago. A larger world and more to do would equal awesome

[Syl]

Gun for $6 seems like a win for me.

[Abraham Lincoln]

You convinced me, I just ordered gun. Does anyone have the PC version?

[Steele Johnson]

Gun, Mage Knight, and The Godfather is definitely worth the purchase. I've played them all and they're all good fun. The price is actually quite amazing for what you get, but if you've got a Wii, I'd recommend that you play The Godfather on that platform because the controller adds an extra layer of fun factor. The Godfather on the Wii demonstrates the reason to own that platform compared to the others.

[Lunar Blue]

I only played the beginning of Cold War but it wasn't bad, played very much like Splinter Cell. So i don't think you really lose anything at that price :)

[Scaryfaced]

I'm buying Gun. Was going to get it on Steam but this is way cheaper. Instead, I'll just buy Theif to tide me over untill this ships.

[midrael]

Wow, I've been wanting to try out Gun too. Can't possibly beat that price!

[jpublic]

Man, I *really* wish they'd allow shipping to Canada, especially with this high Canadian dollar.

Does anyone know a online game retailer like GoGamer that either ships to .ca or even better, is *in* .ca?

[Murph the Surf]

GUN was good on the XBOX, a little short for my tastes--a steal at $5.90

I heard Mage Night was a rip-off of W.o.W/Diablo2, but not as good---IS worth only $10.

Cold War was decent, another good deal at $4.90

Gun was a great game. I recommend it, especially at this price.

What part of 'like GoGamer' did you not get?

[Maskatron]

I liked Godfather quite a bit. It's a flawed game for sure but if you are a fan of the movies you will probably get a kick out of it. It's no GTA but and it gets pretty repetitive after a while, but it's a good game to pick up for cheap. I picked up a used copy on the 360 for 12 bucks recently.

[XXLgamer]

Any thoughts on Medal of Honor? havent played this game at all.

[flinxz]

I had no idea there was so much love for Gun. I guess I got the wrong impression of the game, maybe I shall give it a go after all.

[PathMaster]

Any thoughts on the Wii-Avatar?

[Kamalot]

I enjoy the Avatar show, but haven't heard anyone who played the game. I may pick it up for the daughter and Ms. Kamalot, both of which also love the show. If it sucks, I suppose I could trade it in and get some $ back

Yea, I like the show as well. I might just order it, and go the same route. I am happy a Wii game is on the Madness already, but it begs the question, why?

[Kamalot]

Here's a clip from one of the best reviews for the game on Metacritic (http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/avatarthelastairbender?q=avatar):

Experienced gamers aren't likely to find enough depth or challenge here to interest them for very long, and the lack of multiplayer in any capacity and the less-than-creative Wii-specific mechanics are disappointments. However, for the game's younger target audience, there is a fun, easy going action RPG and lighthearted storyline waiting to be discovered.
