Gamez is dedicated to those gaming deals that occasionally show up. Today, GoGamer is the center of attention with their infamous “48 Hour Madness sale“. Unfortunately, the 48 Hour Madness sales have the tendency to look like “we are trying really hard to get rid of inventory of games that aren’t that great”. To aid you in the quest to filter the junk from the good stuff, games listed below have a 75% or above Metacritic rating and less than $20 per game. No opinions are ever made on the games listed.

If you were to buy all 10 games today, it would cost roughly $94.17 (S&H overlap calculated) or roughly $9.42 each and your brain would turn to mush.

Percentages and ranks come from Metacritic.com game scores. It isn’t a perfect system, but it is better than nothing.
