February Bargain Bin

I like cheap. I admit it. When a new game or movie based on a game comes out, then I am all over the pre-owned section at EB or the local "trade-your-games-for-cash" shop to look for the previous versions on sale. That's how I got Silent Hill 3 for $7.99 This week for instance with Tekken 5 coming out, I am willing to bet that there will be a dearth of Tekken 4 games to grab if you haven't picked it up yet. I love the new releases. But the fifty bucks for them- not so much. So today here's a little over looked adventure/survival game that features a female playable character, and it is quite good from what I understand. Return to Mysterious Island is loosely based on Jules Verne’s “Mysterious Island” book. It has not only an interesting setting inspired by a classic novel, but also puzzles that really tie into the game world and actually make sense. You play as Mina, a young woman who sets out on a solo sailing expedition and encounters a fierce storm that tosses her into the sea and onto the beaches of a tropical island in the South Pacific. You play the game from a first-person perspective. It sounds educational and I'd pick it up at $20 bucks. Check it out [Here]
