Good Value Game Thread

Ok, I've seen a lot of people asking for reccomendations on cheap games, so I thought I'd start a cheap game thread.
NO COMMENTS, PLEASE!
Each post must be formatted as follows:

Title: Title of game

Rating: How good the game is on a scale of 1-10

I'll start it off:

Title: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Price: $4.97
Platform: PC
Retailer: Target
Genre: RPG
Rating: -
Comments: I've never played it, because my computer is too old, but I've heard great things!

A nice obvious one for me:

Title: Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings
Price: Varies. Have seen it between £10 and £20. This includes the expansion.
Platform: PC
Retailer: It's be easier listing the stores that don't sell it here.
Genre: Real-Time Strategy
Rating: 8/10.
Comments: Excellent replay value and great on multiplayer. Starting to show it's age though.

Great older game

Title: Majesty Fantasy Kingdom- Gold
Price: 4.95 here: http://www.dirtcheapsoftware.com/majesty.html
Platform: PC
Retailer: Mostly online, such as ebay
Genre: Unique RTS
Rating: Average online review is 8.6, I give it a 9.8 or so
Comments: With random maps and placement of enemies, the replay value is incredible. Much less micromanagement than most RTS's, as you don't order your units around, they just do what suits them. (Sounds dumb, works AWESOME). There is a demo on Majestyquest.com (don't know if the link still works or how the demo is though).

Forgot one!
Title: Freespace 2 SCP or The Babylon Project 3.2
Price: Both FREE.
Platform: PC
Retailer: Freespace 2 (and/or SCP) downloaded here and The Babylon Project 3.2 (based off of FS2: SCP) here
Genre: Space Sim
Rating: I give both 10/10 two thumbs up! Also highly moddable!
Comments: God I love Freespace 2. Especially with the new Source Code Project! A major campaign/TC called Inferno should be releasing their second version soon as well. *cheers*
