Top 5 Games this Holiday Season Under $30

So, as the holiday season is fast approaching, I'm sure many of you are wondering what great deals there are for either you or your family. I have compiled this list to aid your wondering thoughts. So, lets begin here:

5. Blur (PS3, 360, PC)
Blur is an action packed, arcade racing game. With several tracks and a very engaging online experience, this game will keep you interested for hours on end. Filled with power-ups, online leveling system with upgrades, unlockable cars, and action packed multiplayer, Blur is most definitely worth the near $25 deal.

4. Singularity (PS3, 360, PC)
A time twisted, brutal shooter, Singularity will amaze you through many playthroughs. Once the TMD (Time Manipulation Device) is put into your hands, you will feel the endlessly awesome power of aging enemies until they die or the opposite. Upgradeable weapons and time powers are obtained by searching for E-99 tech, scattered around the game's setting. With several endings and a very thought provoking plot, this game will keep you interested for a long time.

3. Split Second (PS3, 360, PC)
Another racing game, Split Second is more realistic than Blur, however it does lose the arcade combat. Instead, this fine tuned racer includes many game or race changing moments where the track is altered in some way and the drivers must react in a split second, hence the name. This creates very intense moments and will either make you scream in despair or rejoice. Either way, this addictive, graphically enhanced game will have you coming back for more every time.

2. The Saboteur (PS3, 360, PC)
The Saboteur is an third-person, action stealth game that takes place in WWII. You play as an Irish man in Paris and the surrounding areas who is part of the resistance against the Nazis. There are literally thousands of free-play events scattered throughout the massive map. These events require you to do one of a few things like: blowing up a guard tower or assassinating a Nazi general. In addition to all this, the engaging story and many weapons, enemies, and vehicles make this game very worth it this holiday season; especially for a mere $15.

1. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (PS3, 360, PC)
Though already almost a year old already, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is still sharing the throne with the Call of Duty series. It offers an immersive singleplayer story with jaw-dropping cinematic moments as well as the ability to make you chuckle at your ungrateful squad bickering. Beyond this, BC2 offers a very refined multiplayer experience. Crafted gorgeously with realistic physics and combat situations all taking place in huge maps that offer a variety of tactics. Customizable classes and squad systems will let you play how you want, but still be important to the team. This game is a steal for its price (varies for systems). Also in consideration is the soon-to-be released Vietnam expansion pack. (December 21st)
