S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, cost 200kr on release, semi-low budget. One of the best FPS games I have ever played in my entire life. Great graphics, good physics, excellent engine.
Starcraft 2, extremely high budget game, great graphics, great engine, great quality. Costs 420kr on release.
Call of Duty genre, now this is where shit hits the fan. 600kr on release, hasn't been inovative in years, same graphics, but slightly upgraded as they were years ago. In fact, the graphics are rather bland.
