Bin Digging: Wii Edition
by Will Greenwald

It’s time for another Bin Digging. This time, we’re looking at bargain-bin games for the Wii. The Wii has been a popular console for terrible licensed games, generic party and puzzle games, and all-around shovelware. Fortunately, there still are plenty of fun games you can grab for less than $15.

To be considered for Bin Digging, a game has to fulfill two criteria. First, it has to cost $15 or less. I know I said console games would be able to sneak in for $20 or less, but that opens up plenty of room for “Greatest Hits” titles, which would just be lazy. Let’s look for some real, dirt-cheap game bargains. Second, it has to be a game you’d actually want to play. Not necessarily a system-seller, but at least worth a playthrough.

Bin Digging: PSP Edition

It’s time to introduce a new weekly department for the frugal gamer in us all. Sure, we have regular listings of game deals, but they tend to be big, notable sales that come and go. There isn’t enough attention given to the around-the-clock bargains you can find by poking around the used game shelves and outlet pages. That’s why we’re introducing Bin Digging.

Bin Digging is a regular department on Aggrogate that highlights dirt-cheap games that are still worth playing. Each Bin Digging highlights a specific system’s game library, showing of a huge list of budget titles from across the web. To be eligible for Bin Digging, a game has to meet two criteria. First, it has to cost less than $20 if it’s a console or PC title, or less than $15 if it’s a portable title. Second, it has to be a game you actually would want to play. Not every game will be a AAA system seller, but it’ll at least be worth at least a few sessions of play time. No shovelware here.

We’re kicking off the first Bin Digging with the Playstation Portable. While the system has had a bit of a disappointing run, and the technically inferior DS has vastly eclipsed it in sale numbers, it’s still built up a pretty good library in the 5 years it’s been on the market. There are tons of cheap, fun games you can grab used at your local Gamestop or new from online sources. Obviously, if you have a PSP-Go, you’re out of luck. These are all UMD games.

Check out the list after the jump.
