Susprisingly good. Go for this one and pass on Dead Man's Hand.
The Lord of the Rings The Third AgeThe Lord of the Rings The Third Age
Buy new: $50.94 / Used from: $2.75
Good for a beginner as the battles are easy, but it is cool to have Gandalf or Aragon in your party. Better for kids.
Medal of Honor: Rising SunMedal of Honor: Rising Sun

The $20 or less answer to Call of Duty. Not a bad shooter.
Grand Theft Auto Double PackGrand Theft Auto Double Pack

OK, this was 2003, but 2 great games for less than $40 is a steal. I am still playing these.
