In a thread over at CheapAssGamer featuring a GameFly sale where you could get Afro Samuarai, FUEL, Wheelman, and Ghostbusters for cheap, an interesting debate broke out. The games were priced between $10 and $20 (sadly, those prices are no longer available), but some users insisted that the games weren't worth picking up, even at those prices, because they had poor Metacritic review scores.
