Video Game News and Reviews

Just a quick post here to encourage everyone to go and check out the sales. I have just returned from Game and come back with the new Sonic Unleashed game for a great £20 and an even better bargain, I got the Alone in the Dark collectors edition box set for an amazing £6.98! Also, because of all the game bought in November, I had £7.50 on my Game card, so basically, I got the game for free. Just goes to show, you can really find a bargain in store if you look around.

As Christmas is over, the sales are all over the place, and they are great. All the great shops like Game, HMV, Currys, Comet etc, are all have great sales on video games, consoles and TVs. So now is a great time to upgrade your Television, get a new home cinema system, get a new games console, or just expand your games library at a cheaper cost. Some video game offers that caught my eye were on Game, there have lowered loads of prices, including Far Cry 2 which is now down to £18 on the Xbox 360 and PS3, saving a massive £32! There are also a huge number of new releases and great games that have been reduced…

And so I’m back, from outer space…. well, not quite outer space, although it would be faster to get to. I have returned from my Christmas holiday in the sunny Australia. I must say, Australia is a fantastic country, and Sydney is a great city. That’s where I started my holiday, in Sydney, mainly for sight seeing and shopping really, and there’s lots of both.
