Neil’s Deals 30/07/10
Here we are at the quietest time of the year in the gaming world, the calm before the storm when the vast array of new releases come our way starting in September. However it’s a perfect time to catch up on all those games you may have missed at a great price. This is where Neil’s Deals can help you by making sure you never pay £39.99 for a game ever again.
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.
With the science bit out of the way let’s have a look at what offers are available.
A quick look at the week’s sales shows that FIFA World Cup South Africa (or FIFA 10.5) continues to perform well despite the world cup being a memory. Red Dead Redemption is also holding it’s value well and it’s still a struggle to get the game at a bargain price.
This week’s champion though is Crackdown 2 that manages to top the all platform chart against the odds.

Bargain of the week
I suspect a few of the online retailers have the same suppliers and this week the ubiquitous two games for £25 offer seems to be the talk of the town and as this is the month of gaming catch-up this is the perfect bargain of the week for gamers.
Why not treat yourself to games like Splinter Cell, Mass Effect 2 and Left 4 Dead 2, Prince of Persia for effectively only £12.50 each, under this offer from a selection of the top online retailers.
