Tired of gaming podcasts being so pretentious and boring, some current and some former gaming industry folks have gotten together to form Tapezilla—a weekly dose of gaming updates, news and humor, including the now infamous Shenmue prank calls. Tapezilla finally drags the 'gaming podcast' out of the mundane, uninteresting and self-important quicksand it's been stuck in for far too long.
This is only good for the next couple hours (or until they run out), so get moving. If you’re on the product page, click the little gold box in the upper right to see the discounted price.
Thought this was going to be a blockbuster, Pete? Anyway, now’s your chance to have this insanely average game for just $13.
As everyone knows, Toys R Us is running their annual Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale, but what most people don’t know is that they’re also running 40% off most Wii Accessories (remotes not included). Obviously, most of that stuff is garbage — however, if you’re lucky enough to have a TRU that actually has the 2000 points cards in stock, you can snag them for $12 a piece. With Shining Force 2’s VC release last week, you’d be an idiot not to grab one (or seven).
Update: Supposedly this sale’s only good for today and tomorrow, so hop to it.
If you haven’t pulled the trigger on the purchase of a new Xbox 360, you no longer have an excuse. Now for under $200, you can get yourself the Xbox 360 Arcade Unit (yeah, no hard drive, but you can buy one of those separately) and the brand new Lego Batman. Lego Batman alone is $50, so you’re looking at a $150 ‘this-gen’ console. Oh, and no tax for most people.
For anyone who couldn’t quite pull the trigger on Madden ‘09 CE at its $90 price point (and goodness why would you), you can now get the whole damn package for $45. To put it another way, until they sell out, you can get the CE for $15 less than the regular edition. And hey, if you really want to be a cheap bastard, flip the included copy Head Coach ‘09 on ebay for $35 and pay a grand total of $10 for this year’s Madden. Not too shabby.
While previously one of the better stores for finding clearances/markdowns, Sears has been in the shitter ever since the end of 2007. However, if you’re all about watching clips from bad movies and then competing with friends to see who can remember the color of the featured actor’s socks, you may want to pay them a visit. Or, if you don’t have $24.99, but DO have lots of time on your hands, head on over to http://club.live.com where Scene It? can be yours for a mere 5800 points. That’s only like 6 days of Word Slugger!
For the Dragon Quest fanatics who need something to tide them over until the release of DQIX in 2014, DQ Swords is finally beginning to drop in price. This is the cheapest we’ve seen so far.
Quite a good deal on a PC game that, while not living up to its namesake, is still a good time sink for strategy fans.
