			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-589" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 2px 5px;" src="http://thisismyjoystick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ND-Temp.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" />After spending far too much time in the great outdoors trying to achieve a suntan that would rival David Dickinson and George Hamilton, it&#8217;s time to get back to browsing the many bargain sites and forums so you don’t have  to,  which means that it&#8217;s time for the latest round-up of Neil’s Deals, making sure you never pay £39.99 for a game ever again.</p>
<p>Hopefully we can provide a one-stop price check to ensure you get the  game you want at the best possible price. Unlike other websites, we do  not use affiliate links so can be completely unbiased in the information  we give you as we continue to build our own gaming community by gamers  for gamers. If you notice any of the prices have changed from what is  stated, please let me know so I can amend them.</p>
<p><span id="more-6780"></span>With the science bit out of the way let’s have a look at what offers are  available.</p>
<p>Tesco seem to be moving in on the games market quite aggressively and  maybe this is an indication of things to come as currently their  “FTSL15-1&#8243; discount code continues to dominate our gaming bargain lists and doesn’t  expire until 31st July!</p>

Fable II Game of the Year Edition is a bargain at only <a href="http://shop.gameplay.co.uk/webstore/productpage.asp?productcode=XT1692&amp;title=fable_2__classic" target="_blank">£7.99</a> and Bayonetta falls below a <a href="http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/xbox-360/bayonetta/10042983.html" target="_blank">tenner</a>.</p>

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames will never win any big awards but is more than worth<a href="http://www.gamestation.co.uk/Xbox360/Shooter/~r413413/Mercenaries-2-World-in-Flames-Preowned/" target="_blank"> £3.99</a> and Army of Two: 40th Day is only<a href="http://www.postabargain.co.uk/2010/07/09/army-of-two-40th-day-xbox-360-11-87-ex-rental-as-new" target="_blank"> £11.87</a> ex-rental.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-589" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 2px 5px;" src="http://thisismyjoystick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ND-Temp.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" />I have been busy browsing bargain sites and forums so you don’t have to,  and it’s time once again for the latest round-up of Neil’s Deals but thought it was time to shake things up a little. As well as the usual bargains, I am going to include the UK&#8217;s game charts with the best current price.</p>
<p>Hopefully we can provide a one stop price check to ensure you get the game you want at the best possible price, unlike other websites we do not use affiliate links so can be completely unbiased in the information we give you as we continue to build our own gaming community by gamers for gamers. If you notice any of the prices have changed from what is stated, please let me know so I can amend them.</p>
<p>Enough of my ramblings, let&#8217;s have a look at what offers are available.</p>
<p><span id="more-6246"></span></p>
<p>Tesco seem to be moving in on the games market quite aggressively and maybe this is an indication of things to come as currently their &#8220;FTSL15-1&#8243; discount code dominates our gaming bargain lists and doesn&#8217;t expire until July!</p>
<p>Fifa World Cup is dominating the charts at the moments but with the much anticipated Alan Wake and Red Dead Redemption on the way, all that is likely to change but here is how things are looking at the moment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-589" style="margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; border: 1px solid black;" src="http://thisismyjoystick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ND-Temp.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" />Summer is on its way and already you may find the dreaded rhombus of sunlight on your TV screen making it hard to play properly. This is the time of year where the gaming community gets split, some will consider it to be the end of the gaming season whilst the happy hardcore will sleep all day and game all night. My mission though is  to simply try and bring you the best gaming bargains around  and ensure you  never pay £39.99 for a game again.</p>
<p>I have been busy browsing bargain sites and forums so you don&#8217;t have to, and it&#8217;s time once again for the latest round-up of Neil&#8217;s Deals.</p>

The only downside in the world of bargains is the prices change very quickly so if you see something you like make sure you grab it before it disappears.</p>
<p>I have been searching across the increasing amount of  bargain forums and websites looking for the good, the bad and yes even  the ugly; one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Enough of the  waffle lets get down to business and see what we have for you this week.</p>
<p><span id="more-5469"></span>The cheapest price for Dante&#8217;s Inferno on both Xbox 360 and PS3 is<a href="http://shop.gameplay.co.uk/webstore/advanced_search.asp?keyword=dantes+inferno&amp;platform=ALL&amp;x=0&amp;y=0" target="_blank"> £21.98</a> over at Gameplay whilst Argos are the cheapest  retailer for Final Fantasy XIII at <a href="http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=1500002201&amp;langId=-1&amp;searchTerms=FINAL+FANTASY+XIII" target="_blank">£31.85</a> and Heavy Rain <a href="http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=1500002201&amp;langId=-1&amp;searchTerms=HEAVY+RAIN" target="_blank">£31.99</a>. GAME  have Dragon Age: Origins for <a href=" http://bit.ly/br1n4Z " target="_blank">£14.98</a>.

<p>2100 MS Points can be yours for just £4 From Very.co.uk using a few voucher codes, but it will only work if you are a new customer. The 2100 MS Points are £19.00 at <a href="http://bit.ly/9KPR7n" target="_blank">very.co.uk</a> once at checkout use Code “ZZ449” for £15 off, then Use Code “xv002”  for free delivery.

<p>Very often the best deals can be found on our Twitter feed but don&#8217;t make onto here because they get snapped up in a few hours, a good example of this was Rock Band in a Box which was reduced from £109.99 to £24.95 at GAME last week, for those of you that missed out on this deal, you can pick up the Rock Band Drum set for <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0017IK8YM/ref=oss_product" target="_blank">£19.99</a> at Amazon.</p>
<p>Not many deals for Wii fans but I can point you in the right direction to pick up Madworld for<a href="http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/4-/5822243/MadWorld/Product.html" target="_blank"> £3.99</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-589" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 2px 5px;" title="ND Temp" src="http://thisismyjoystick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ND-Temp.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" />Gamers have been living the dream in 2010 thanks to a flurry of fantastic games released in the first two months already, although this is a nice problem to have, it&#8217;s our wallets that have taken somewhat of a hammering.</p>
<p>As usual our motto is simply &#8220;Make sure you never pay £39.99 for a game ever again&#8221; so I have been scouring the interweb for gaming bargains so you don&#8217;t have to, and once again there are more than a few tempting offers out there for all console owners and thrifty gamers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-589" style="margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; border: 1px solid black;" title="ND Temp" src="http://thisismyjoystick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ND-Temp.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" />Once again it&#8217;s time for our round up of gaming deals for our ongoing quest to ensure that you never pay £39.99 for a game again.</p>
<p>Our only warning is to snap up the bargains quickly as the prices on many of these offers seem to go up and down quite quickly, so if you see something you want make sure you grab it whilst you can. To get the most from Neil&#8217;s Deals remember to follow us on Twitter as many of the best deals don&#8217;t actually make it to this column.</p>
<p>Enough of my ramblings, let&#8217;s have a look at what gaming bargains we can find this week.</p>
<p><span id="more-4825"></span>The cheapest price for the popular game Mass Effect 2 at the moment is <a href="http://www.simplygames.com/info/17895/Mass-Effect-2--Xbox-360-" target="_blank">£31.89</a>, whilst Darksiders is <a href="http://www.asda-entertainment.co.uk/elysium.search?search=darksiders&amp;searchFilters=" target="_blank">£22.71 </a>at Asda on both Xbox 360 and PS3 if you enter the special discount code of &#8220;spend20&#8243; at the checkout. If your Xbox Live account is in need of a Microsoft Points boost, Asda are also currently the cheapest at<a href="http://www.asda-entertainment.co.uk/games/platforms/xbox-360/xbox-360-live-2100-points-card/10021725.html" target="_blank"> £14.91 </a>for 2100 points.</p>
<p>Those desperate for Alien vs Predator can pick it up for <a href="http://bit.ly/9uedpF" target="_blank">£32.95</a> but I am sure it will be around £20 within six weeks. Dante&#8217;s Inferno is £28.85 over at Shopto on both <a href="http://www.shopto.net/XBOX%20360/VIDEO%20GAMES/XB2DA08-Dantes%20Inferno.html" target="_blank">Xbox 360</a> and <a href="http://www.shopto.net/PS3/VIDEO%20GAMES/PS3DA04-Dantes%20Inferno.html" target="_blank">PS3</a> whilst the game MAG Collectors Edition is <a href="http://www.shopto.net/PS3/VIDEO%20GAMES/PS3MA17-MAG%20Collectors%20Edition.html" target="_blank">£29.85</a> on the PS3. Brutal Legend is a more than tempting £12 instore only at Tesco or  <a href="http://bit.ly/cweLMR" target="_blank">£14.99</a> on both 360 and PS3.</p>

Forza 3 is another great game that has finally dropped below the twenty pounds mark and can be yours for a cool <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Forza-Motorsport-3-Xbox-360/dp/B002BSH9JO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=videogames&amp;qid=1266104187&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank">£19.99</a> thanks to Amazon. On the 360 the cheapest price for Bioshock 2 is currently <a href="http://bit.ly/9XzHP2" target="_blank">£29.95</a> at the game collection.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Neil's Deals returns for 2010]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-589" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 2px 5px;" title="ND Temp" src="http://thisismyjoystick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ND-Temp.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" />Everyone is waiting for their much needed first pay day of the year after overspending at Christmas. Gaming bargains have been in short supply, but have no fear, once again it’s time for Neil’s Deals. My aim is to try and bring you the best gaming bargains around and ensure you never pay £39.99 for a game again.</p>
<p>I have spent the last week searching across the increasing amount of bargain forums and websites looking for the good, the bad and yes even the ugly; one man&#8217;s trash is another man&#8217;s treasure. Enough of the waffle lets get down to business and see what we have for you this week.</p>
<p><span id="more-4405"></span></p>
<p>Although not strictly a gaming bargain, everyone should enjoy a gaming experience in glorious HD in 2010, if you have been looking for a 32” HD ready TV you could do much worse than this beauty priced only at<a href="http://www.ebuyer.com/product/190323" target="_blank"> £249.08</a>.</p>
<p>Resident Evil fans may be interested in the Xbox 360 Black Wireless Controller and Resident Evil 5 package for <a href="http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9004090/Trail/searchtext%3ERESIDENT+EVIL.htm" target="_blank">£24.95</a> at Argos. PS3 drivers can have the Logitech Driving Force PS3 Wireless Steering Wheel <a href="http://www.thehut.com/electronics/new-arrivals-electronics/logitech-driving-force-ps3-wireless-steering-wheel/10074157.html" target="_blank">£34.93</a>.</p>
<p>Many people will tell you if you cross FernGully:The Last Rain Forest and Halo you will end up with Avatar: The Movie, for those of you that want an average game it is now <a href="http://www.zavvi.com/elysium.search?searchFilters=R2FtZXMjZGVwYXJ0bWVudDpnYW1lcyoh&amp;search=avatar" target="_blank">£17.99</a> on both Wii and the 360.</p>
<p>Bayonetta is only<a href="http://www.thegamecollection.net/bayonetta-xbox-360-p-3124.html" target="_blank"> £29.99</a> on the 360 over at the Games Collection, which is the cheapest I have seen it so far. Dead Rising can be pre-ordered for only <a href="http://bit.ly/4NxlN7" target="_self">£27.73</a> on both the 360 and PS3. Amazon have Darksiders for a more than tempting <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Dvideogames&amp;field-keywords=darksiders&amp;x=0&amp;y=0" target="_blank">£32.79</a>.</p>
<p>Racing fans can pick up the Forza 3: Limited Edition which includes DLC, USB Pen and Keyring for <a href="http://www.thehut.com/games/platforms/xbox-360/forza-motorsport-3-limited-edition/10052845.html" target="_blank">£32.73 </a>over at The Hut.</p>
<p>Most people would have had <a href="http://www.thehut.com/elysium.search?searchFilters=R2FtZXMjZGVwYXJ0bWVudDpnYW1lcyoh&amp;search=batman+arkham+asylum" target="_blank">Batman Arkham Asylum</a> and <a href="http://www.thehut.com/elysium.search?searchFilters=R2FtZXMjZGVwYXJ0bWVudDpnYW1lcyoh&amp;search=borderlands" target="_blank">Borderlands</a> in their top games of 2009 list but if you did miss them, they can be yours for a mouth watering £17.73 on both PS3 and 360 too. Grand Theft Auto is also a very affordable <a href="http://www.tescoentertainment.com/store/games/xbox-360-grand-theft-auto-iv-%284%29-classic/8:588055/" target="_blank">£11.98</a> at Tesco.</p>
<p>IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey is worth looking at for <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002BSI79A/" target="_blank">£17.99</a>, Star Ocean: The Last Hope will not appeal to everyone but <a href="http://www.shopto.net/XBOX%20360/VIDEO%20GAMES/XB2ST14-Star%20Ocean%20The%20Last%20Hope.html" target="_blank">£8.99</a> could tempt a few people. Colin McRae: Dirt 2 is a very resoanable <a href="http://www.game.co.uk/Games/Xbox-360/Colin-McRae-DiRT-2/~r339514/" target="_blank">£14.98</a> over at Game for 360 owners.</p>
<p><strong>Bargain of the week<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is currently <a href="http://www.game.co.uk/search.aspx?s=operation+flashpoint" target="_blank">£14.98</a> at GAME (yes, I am giving GAME a bargain of the week). *Edit* GAME have now increased the price so cheapest is now <a href="http://www.shopto.net/XBOX%20360/VIDEO%20GAMES/XB2OP02-Operation%20Flashpoint%20Dragon%20Rising.html" target="_blank">£16.85</a> at shopto. If your prefer your games to be a little more cerebal than COD on both PS3 and XBox 360 is the game for you.</span></strong></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">
<p><div id="attachment_2764" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 450px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2764   " title="assault" src="http://thisismyjoystick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/assault.jpg" alt="Thinking mans COD £14.98" width="440" height="250" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The thinking man&#39;s &quot;Call of Duty&quot; £14.98 </p></div></h1>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-589" style="margin: 2px 5px; border: black 1px solid;" title="ND Temp" src="http://thisismyjoystick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ND-Temp.jpg" alt="ND Temp" />Greetings and salutations to gamers across the land. It’s time for Neil’s Deals for all you last minute Christmas Shoppers out there on our weekly roundup of the best gaming bargains.</p>
<p>In true Christmas spirit, I even offer an olive branch to the high street store GAME, who believe it or not probably have the most bargains if you are a little savvy with your browsing. As deals often expire by the time this page goes live, I intend to add updates via the comments section at the bottom of this article, so please keep it bookmarked and come back. I realise that not everybody follows the deal alerts on Twitter, so I will also post the best ones on the current Neil&#8217;s Deals too.</p>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Sure it&#8217;s yet another football installment from EA, but at Christmas a mini FIFA tournament always goes down well with the fellas, even though it may annoy their partners and will probably go home to the sound of &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to spend Christmas watching you play&#8230;&#8221;</span></strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Neil's Deals returns with a look at the Christmas bargains]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-589" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 2px 5px;" title="ND Temp" src="http://thisismyjoystick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ND-Temp.jpg" alt="ND Temp" width="125" height="125" />Another week closer to Christmas and a time where more games are brought than at any other time of the year. As a wise man once said “Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves”, so once again it time to save some money with Neil’s Deals, as I have just finished searching various sites and forums so you don’t have to.</p>
<p>After it was revealed in the media this week that high street stores charge different prices across the country depending on their location, gamers need to be more savvy than ever but luckily there are some fantastic bargains available whatever your taste in games.</p>
<p><span id="more-3750"></span>The <a href="http://www.zavvi.com/offers/mega-monday/games.list?pageNumber=" target="_blank">Zavvi</a> mega Monday is always a good place to start Neil&#8217;s Deals especially considering that at the moment if you simply text &#8220;Zavvi&#8221; to &#8220;82100&#8243; you are rewarded with a £1.00 off voucher. If you use this voucher you can pick up games at a fantastic price. For example Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City for <a href="http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/xbox-360/grand-theft-auto-iv-episodes-from-liberty-city/10048153.html" target="_self">£16.95</a>, Tekken 6 on both the Xbox 360 and PS3 for <a href="http://www.zavvi.com/elysium.search?searchFilters=&amp;search=tekken+6" target="_blank">£16.95</a>, Batman Arkham Asylum <a href="http://www.zavvi.com/elysium.search?searchFilters=&amp;search=batman+arkham" target="_blank">£16.95</a> again on both Xbox 360 and PS3 with <a href="http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/xbox-360/pes-2010-pro-evolution-soccer/10042540.html" target="_blank">PES 2010</a>.</p>
<p>Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising on the Xbox 360 is only a mouth watering <a href="http://bit.ly/89Wa6f" target="_blank">£15.99</a> if you Enter &#8220;shoptovoucher3&#8243; at checkout.</p>
<p>As it&#8217;s Christmas though, the best offer to keep the family this happy this Christmas would be Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action on the Xbox 360 with four wireless controllers <a href="http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/xbox-360/scene-it-lights.-camera.-action/8655666.html" target="_blank">£8.95</a> with the afore mentioned voucher.</p>
<p>Elsewhere on both PS3 and Xbox 360 Rise of the Argonauts is only <a href="http://www.coolshop.co.uk/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=rise+of+argonauts&amp;submit.x=0&amp;submit.y=0" target="_blank">£11.98</a> and if you are lucky enough to have any in stock near where you live, you can pick up Banjo-Kazooie for only <a href="http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/507067/MICROSOFT-MICROSOFT-XBOX-360-BANJO-KAZOOIe" target="_blank">£4.99</a> from Comet. The Hut have Bionic Commando for <a href="http://www.thehut.com/games/platforms/xbox-360/bionic-commando/9996913.html" target="_blank">£8.73</a> and Skate for <a href="http://www.thehut.com/games/platforms/xbox-360/skate/8624599.html" target="_blank">£7.73</a> for your gaming stocking fillers.</p>
<p>Dark Messiah: Might And Magic Elements is only <a href="http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/3316906/Dark-Messiah-Might-And-Magic-Elements/Product.html" target="_blank">£7.99</a> and if you really must buy James Camerons new Avatar game you can pick it up for <a href="http://bit.ly/8Pd2gB" target="_blank">£26.99</a>. If you want to appear really generous this Christmas you could do much worse than a 12 month Empire Magazine subscription which comes with <a href="http://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/film-and-tv/empire-magazine.html" target="_blank">Assassins Creed 2 </a>for free, I believe the offer is also with FHM if that&#8217;s your thing.</p>
<p>Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution is only <a href="http://www.shopto.net/WII/VIDEO%20GAMES/WIIRE05-Ready%202%20Rumble%20Revolution.html" target="_blank">£6.95</a> for boxing Wii fans, and it is also worth checking out if Comet have games such as Pikmin or Mad world in stock near you for only <a href="http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/category/1878/Wii-Games?" target="_blank">£4.99</a>.</p>
<p>It may also be worth me mentioning that if you buy one £15 iTunes gift card at Tesco<a title="Support the forums" href="http://www.thedvdforums.com/affiliatelink.php?localaffiliateid=79" target="_blank"><strong> </strong></a> you get the second one half price meaning you pay £22.50 for £30 worth of card. This is confirmed to be available in most Tesco stores nationwide and ends 9 December but is not available online. It is also being reported that Morrisons are selling 2 x £15 ITunes cards for only £20 so might be worth asking the friendly cashier to scan there first.</p>
<p>Wet would be a very tempting bargain of the week for <a href="http://hmv.com/hmvweb/simpleMultiSearch.do?searchUID=&amp;pGroupID=0&amp;adultFlag=false&amp;primaryID=0&amp;simpleSearchString=wet&amp;btnSubmitSearch.x=0&amp;btnSubmitSearch.y=0" target="_blank">£12.99</a> on both Xbox 360 and PS3 but I found a little to disappointing to do so.</p>
<p><strong>Bargain of the week<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;">We are reaching that time when endless lists will appear telling you the best games of 2009, Borderlands will be near the top of most of these lists and for <a href="http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms/xbox-360/borderlands/10048147.html" target="_blank">£16.95</a> it&#8217;s simply not wise to miss out. Remember to Simply text &#8220;Zavvi&#8221; to &#8220;82100&#8243; and you will instantly receive a £1.00 voucher to get the game at this price.</span></strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[As Christmas approaches, it's time for another look at Neil's weekly round up of gaming bargains.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-589" style="margin: 2px 5px; border: black 1px solid;" title="ND Temp" src="http://thisismyjoystick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ND-Temp.jpg" alt="ND Temp" width="125" height="125" />Christmas is now officially just around the corner and we find ourselves in peak gaming season, with too many top titles to choose from at the high end of the RRP range too. Why is it all the best games come out at a time when we have the least amount of money? The very wise squirrels amongst us would have put there pennies in a special pot during the summer games draught but the rest of us maybe left struggling.</p>
<p>Have no fear, as once again it’s time for Neil’s Deals weekly round up of the best gaming deals. We also have a fantastic Twelve Days of Christmas giveaway on the horizon too, where we will be giving away daily prizes to you all as a special thank you for helping us so far in such a short space of time.</p>
<p><span id="more-3590"></span>Once again we find that only a handful of games seem to be selling big quantities, which leaves the rest of the market saturated and prices fall very quickly. The game Wet is a prime example of this and PS3 owners can now pick up the game for only <a href="http://bit.ly/6QbGTj" target="_blank">£12.99</a>, which may make someone a good Christmas present.</p>
<p>Of the big name chart topping games, there are a few savings to be had out there, the cheapest price I have seen Left 4 Dead 2 is <a href="http://bit.ly/8Edceo" target="_blank">£32.99 </a>on the Xbox 360, Forza 3 is <a href="http://bit.ly/8Edceo" target="_blank">£28.99</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly/4Fw7ic" target="_blank">PES 2010 £17.95</a>, Borderlands <a href="http://bit.ly/4CUmn0" target="_blank">£22.99 </a>on both PS3 and Xbox 360 and Assassins Creed 2 can be yours for only <a href="http://bit.ly/5Ef5cs" target="_blank">£33.73 </a>if you enter “<strong>Hwalk”</strong> in the promotional code box upon checkout. You can also get Need for Speed Shift for <a href="http://bit.ly/5KA31E" target="_blank">£23.99 </a>or pre-order Super Street Fighter for <a href="http://bit.ly/4q2y8z" target="_blank">£21.85</a>.</p>
<p>For 24 hours only Zavvi have the fantastic game <span><span>Batman Arkham Asylum for <a href=" http://j.mp/4VX1WX" target="_blank">£17.95</a> on both Xbox 360 &amp; PS3 and Mini Ninjas is a must for the kids on both major consoles for <a href=" http://j.mp/4VX1WX" target="_blank">£12.93.</a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://j.mp/4VX1WX" target="_blank"></a> </span></span></p>
<p>For those of you on the look out for a nice cheap bargain look no further than the fantastic Mass Effect for only <a href="http://bit.ly/5YECgy" target="_blank">£7.99</a>. This is an amazing price for a game that you can lose yourself for 100 hours whilst awaiting the sequel. The quite highly rated IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds Of Prey (IL2) on the 360 also looks very tempting at <a href="http://bit.ly/6GBww6" target="_blank">£17.99 </a>along with X-Men Origins: Wolverine for only <a href="http://bit.ly/6P76KK">£12.93</a>. Hardcore race fans can also now pick up Colin McRae: Dirt 2 for <a href="http://www.shopto.net/XBOX%20360/VIDEO%20GAMES/XB2CO16-Colin%20McRae%20DiRT%202.html" target="_blank">£18.85</a>.</p>
<p>PS3 users can enjoy Resistance 2 for <a href="http://bit.ly/6tIzPg" target="_blank">£12.79</a>, Infamous <a href="http://bit.ly/8EXlma" target="_blank">£14.99 </a>or Killzone 2 for <a href="http://hmv.com/hmvweb/simpleMultiSearch.do?searchUID=7282470072335076062&amp;pGroupID=0&amp;adultFlag=false&amp;primaryID=0&amp;simpleSearchString=killzone+2&amp;btnSubmitSearch.x=36&amp;btnSubmitSearch.y=9" target="_blank">£12.99 </a>Far Cry 2 £8.99 (also 360) or Fuel for only <a href="http://bit.ly/8QCl9C" target="_blank">£7.85</a>.</p>
<p>As we head towards the back end of the year it seems we have quite a few “Game of the Year” editions on the gaming shelves but fortuitously at a good price. Gears of War 2 GOTY is<a href="http://bit.ly/8kf7S3" target="_blank"> £15.99</a>, Fable II GOTY <a href="http://bit.ly/6HHU3g" target="_blank">£15.99</a>, Fallout 3 GOTY <a href="http://www.gamestation.co.uk/Games/Xbox-360/Fallout-3-Game-of-The-Year-Edition/~r416525/" target="_blank">£15.99 </a>and Street Fighter 4 Collectors Edition <a href="http://bit.ly/4q2y8z" target="_blank">£15.99</a></p>
<p>If you find yourself with some spare cash and feel the urge to treat yourself, the turtle beach ear force X! Headset is now <a href="http://www.qfonic.com/turtle-beach-ear-force-stereo-headset-for-xbox-360-p-3920.html" target="_blank">£34.99 </a>and essential for any late night gamers and they give you the edge on games like Modern Warfare 2 as you can hear the footsteps of the guy sneaking behind you to cheekily slit your throat ,or shoot you in the back like the coward he is. The only downside of these is when somebody comes into your room in the real world and you jump out of your skin like a big girl because you were lost in the game. The cheaper option is the Officially Licensed Modern Warfare Throat Mic Communicator Headset for<a href="http://bit.ly/4AQi7b" target="_blank"> £14.99</a>.</p>
<p>CEX have some classic underated games for under a fiver on the Xbox 360, for example for only £3 you can pick up <a href="http://www.cex.co.uk/products/Gaming/Console%20Gaming/Xbox%20360%20Software/index.php?sku=5026555245456&amp;name=Prey&amp;mode=buy" target="_blank">Prey</a>, <a href="http://www.cex.co.uk/products/Gaming/Console%20Gaming/Xbox%20360%20Software/index.php?sku=882224053709&amp;name=Perfect%20Dark%20Zero&amp;mode=buy" target="_blank">Perfect Dark Zero</a>, <a href="http://www.cex.co.uk/search/index.php?stext=too+human&amp;ispostback=1&amp;mode=buy" target="_blank">Too Human</a>,<a href="http://www.cex.co.uk/search/index.php?rad_which_stock=1&amp;stext=Project+Sylpheed" target="_blank"> Project Sylpheed</a> or <a href="http://www.cex.co.uk/products/Gaming/Console%20Gaming/Xbox%20360%20Software/index.php?sku=5037930100093&amp;name=Blitz:%20The%20League&amp;mode=buy" target="_blank">Blitz: The League</a>.
