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.

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.

The Zavvi mega Monday is always a good place to start Neil’s Deals especially considering that at the moment if you simply text “Zavvi” to “82100″ 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 £16.95, Tekken 6 on both the Xbox 360 and PS3 for £16.95, Batman Arkham Asylum £16.95 again on both Xbox 360 and PS3 with PES 2010.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising on the Xbox 360 is only a mouth watering £15.99 if you Enter “shoptovoucher3″ at checkout.

As it’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 £8.95 with the afore mentioned voucher.

Elsewhere on both PS3 and Xbox 360 Rise of the Argonauts is only £11.98 and if you are lucky enough to have any in stock near where you live, you can pick up Banjo-Kazooie for only £4.99 from Comet. The Hut have Bionic Commando for £8.73 and Skate for £7.73 for your gaming stocking fillers.

Dark Messiah: Might And Magic Elements is only £7.99 and if you really must buy James Camerons new Avatar game you can pick it up for £26.99. If you want to appear really generous this Christmas you could do much worse than a 12 month Empire Magazine subscription which comes with Assassins Creed 2 for free, I believe the offer is also with FHM if that’s your thing.

Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution is only £6.95 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 £4.99.

It may also be worth me mentioning that if you buy one £15 iTunes gift card at Tesco 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.

Wet would be a very tempting bargain of the week for £12.99 on both Xbox 360 and PS3 but I found a little to disappointing to do so.

Bargain of the week
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 £16.95 it’s simply not wise to miss out. Remember to Simply text “Zavvi” to “82100″ and you will instantly receive a £1.00 voucher to get the game at this price.

£16.95 for the must have game of 2009
