I have five dollars left, and i want to spend it wisely. What are the best games within my budget?

If you're going for XBox, Beat Hazard is great, The Impossible Game is awesome and it's $1, same with just about all of the best XBL indie games. For PC, I don't know any really good ones for 5 dollars or less, except the Impossible Game.

Why would he post in the Steam forums if he was going for XBL games?

Get 5 more dollars and play Magicka, or 7.50 more and get that plus all the expansions. Trust me it's worth it.

Personally, if you have $5, I'd wait for a sale. Sometimes some of the better $15 games will go down to $5.

Didn't see that. Also there's a button on steam that tells you every game that's $5 or under.

I know about that but you dont truly know if a game is good until you buy it. Thats why I am asking.

Games under $5, sorted by Metascores, highest one first.
The very top of the list? Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
I think all of us would highly recommend it (though you might want to check the forums to see if there are any compatibility issues with certain systems).

Although I still think you should wait for a Steam sale. Now that they have daily ones, you're bound to find something that you KNOW you'll enjoy for $5 or less, rather than taking someone's word for it. For example, today and today only, the rather popular Far Cry is only $2.50 rather than its usual $10.
