Having just had my xbox 360 resurrected by a mate at work, I'm on the lookout for a couple of new (to me) games.

As it's been dead for a couple of years, and I am not sure whether it will continue to function, I don't really want to splash loads of cash on games. Couldn't afford a new box at the moment, so don't want many pounds worth of games lying around depreciating.

With that in mind, I've been looking at some older or used games. Would like a decent driving game, but not sure which way to head.

I've seen Grid from codemasters for £5.25 on Play, which beat a used copy at Cex on price. Played the demo, and it seemed like a laugh, but is it worth investing in over anything else?

Feel free to suggest anything worth playing, I picked up Red Dead Redemption after recommendations at work, and am enjoying the rootin' and tootin'.

I would say Forza 3 as it is very good game and it cheap, Forza 4 is still very expensive to buy.

Yup, Jims got the idea. If I can get a game for £5, I will. £30 is hard to justify when the machine might not last long enough to get my moneys worth out of it.

I know these things are relative, but £30 is quite a chunk of disposable cash at the moment.

Forza 3 on Play for £7.18 at the moment. Is it worth the extra £2 over Grid?

I much preferred Forza to Grid.

I quite liked "hot persuit" in a brain off kind of way

Will check out shift. Is there a downloadable demo around on Live anymore? £4 something on Play for Shift, so in the value stakes it's right up there, but I must admit I have an unfounded aversion to NFS games after a disappointing experience with an early version (possibly Megadrive or old PC era).

You can pick the ultimate edition up for Forza 3 which has all the downloads and car parks for £10 which is well worth it
