I got Ninja Gaiden 2 at Best Buy today for $10. They're selling Condemned 2 for $10 too, if you're so inclined.

Hey good find Egg. I remember hearing that Condemned 2 wasn't bad - certainly it's worth a Hamilton.

Eternal Sonata for PS3 for $35 right now on Amazon. Good for 3 more hours, but it looks to be selling out fast.

Looks like maybe Left 4 Dead at 4PST. Hint is "Alternative to No Child Left Behind." 11PST is a 360 RPG. Hoping for Tales myself, though Eternal Sonata is tempting.

Alright... I just bought Mass Effect for the new dropped price of 20 bucks. Did I do good? Is this game worth it?

The only real complaints I have with Mass Effect are the broken inventory system and somewhat repetitive interiors. It's probably the best RPG on the 360, if you're into that sort of thing.

I loved ME. Kind of a slow start (I spent hours running around that initial space station) but it picks up speed to an amazing finish. Definitely worth $20.

I managed some decent PS3 deals with post-holiday sales.

I got Guitar Hero: World Tour on sale at Best Buy two weeks ago for $35. And my local Blockbuster had a BOGO deal on used games, so I snagged both NHL08 and NBA07 for a grand total of $9.99.

Ninja Gaiden II is a lot easier than the first one. I nearly planted my controller into the TV screen playing the first one on the XBOX.

You know, DARK SECTOR is $12.99 used at Gamestop. It's a really good game at $12.99. It isn't at, say, $29.99 or higher.

Another 'Steam' Weekend Spectacular!

75% off 'Lost Planet: Extreme Condition'...4.99 to you.

I've no idea if this, minus the 'Colonies' add-on, is great gaming, but here...
Read Alex's review.
Lost Planet: Colonies Edition Review

...at THAT price I'm buying it anyway!

...Even though it appears to be a lightgun game, with attitude...and lightgun games CAN be fun!
Let's DO this!!

edit (Left4Dead sales rose 3000% for Valve 2 weeks ago...so more 'great games' becoming ridiculously 'cheap games' will hopefully be happening every weekend!
Check Steam every Friday!)

I bought Burnout Paradise for 17.99 at K-Mart the other day. I was surprised by the video game "sale rack" they had. A lot of pretty good games for less than 20 bucks. Check your K-Mart...you might be surprised by what you can find!

Same here. I played the demo, and enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to tackling the whole thing-- maybe after Ninjatown. Should be well worth the $15.

There's a notable sale on new (as in not used) games at Blockbuster Video stores right now. Quite a few things are half off or more. If you're in the market for some stuff from last year, you might find a good deal.

I bought:

Mario Strikers Charged - $15
Rock Band Track Pack for Wii - $10
Drawn To Life - $10

Phantom Hourglass is 10, too. Bioshock PS3 is 20. Mario Super Sluggers is 20. Visit your friendly neighborhood CAG if you'd like to see a full list, or just check your local store, as stock varies by location.

I'm the very epitome of a cheap-ass gamer. I love my games but certainly cant spend a cool AUS$120 on a single 360 title. So it's usually trade in and preowned 2nd hand games for me.

That said, my laptop doesn;t really play games that are less than 18 months old so PC games are a relatively cheap affair. That and I don;t mind being the last guy to discover a classic PC title as it means I only get the good stuff and usually pretty cheap.

After recently getting (and being pretty disappointed by) Civilization Revolution for my 360, I went to my local game shop during one of their '2 For $50' sales and picked up a par of gangbusters I haven't played yet.

First grab was Warcraft 3 (yes yes I realise I'm WAAAAY behind the curve on that particular title, but while I'll never be a Wow boy, I adored WC2 back in 96 and yet number 3 just passed me by).

The other game I picked up was the Gold Edition of Company of Heroes which also includes Oppossing Fronts - god damn is that a brilliant fucking game.

So yeah, 2 (well, 3 really) classic RTS's for $50 Australian - Bargain.
