Daily Scoop: January 20, 2011 – The 3DS vacuum

Posted on January 20, 2011 by Nicole Kline

There isn’t much to report today – after the Square Enix event Tuesday and the 3DS event yesterday, it seems like everyone is in a stupor. Who else has already pre-ordered their 3DS? What color did you opt for – regular black or tantalizing teal?

Anyway, all we have today is the Amazon Deal of the Day in Video Games, which is THQ’s Megamind: Mega Team Unite. Based on the movie Megamind, this Wii game is on sale for $19.99 today from $29.99.

Also of note is an amazing webcomic called MS Paint Adventures. I’ve recently re-visited the latest work by Andrew Hussie, an ongoing comic called Homestuck. It’s a webcomic…with music…and it also has games in it. If you have a lot of time on your hands, start with Problem Sleuth, which is already finished.

Daily Scoop: January 19, 2011 – Is there a doctor in the house?

Posted on January 19, 2011 by Nicole Kline

Are people in a daze after the Amazon All Video Games Gold Box Event yesterday? These things happen when it’s a flurry of sales. Today is a little more laid back so far. The Amazon Deal of the Day in Video Games another 2010 Square Enix Final Fantasy game that people have loved to hate – Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light. All in all, I’m glad I played the game, but my complaints were mostly directly as the huge disparity in difficulty in certain areas as well as the fact that the story was kind of bland. But the characters and crowns were cute, and if any of my friends want to buy it on the cheap right now, I’d be happy to get into some co-op! It’s at $17.99 from $34.99, making it nearly 50% off.

Amazon’s also still running their Buy 2, Get 1 Free sale, featuring games for the PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii, NDS, and Xbox 360. There are actually some good ones there…if I hadn’t gotten so many games on the cheap in the last few months, I’d definitely be picking up a few, like Kirby’s Epic Yarn and Persona for the PSP. Ah, well.

One final scoop on top – TeeFury has a pretty awesome shirt for sale. If you loved Dr. Mario, or House M.D., then you’ll love this mash-up of Mario and House, everyone’s favorite curmudgeonly doctor.

I thought of Dr. House from House of course. and I thought hmmmm what if Dr. Mario was addicted to vicodin just like House? and Wa-Lah!  We got the curmudgeon known as Mario M.D!

Posted on January 17, 2011 by Nicole Kline

It’s all about Amazon Deals in today’s Daily Scoop. First up, they’ve got up to 40% off Disney games. The pickings are pretty slim, unless you’re like me and you love Disney: Sing It games. They are super fun!

Next up is the Amazon Deal of the Day in video games, which is the DJ Hero 2 Party Bundle. Originally priced at $129.99, you can get it today for 23% off at $99.99.

But the REAL deals will be starting at midnight (Pacific Time) tonight, when Amazon goes live with another All Video Games Gold Box Event. All day tomorrow – that’s Tuesday, January 18th – the Gold Box deals will be nothing but video games. The link goes to a bunch of electronics deals right now, but we’ll bring you more information on all of tomorrow’s game deals as soon as we have it.

To round this out with something cute, check out today’s shirt.w00t – I know our editor, John Scalzo, will get a kick out of it.

“Freeze, rebel scum! Drop those plans immediately or OOPS! Hold your wamp rats, TK-80085. Don’t want to cross against the light now, do we?”

Posted on January 16, 2011 by Nicole Kline

It’s another late morning and another apology from me. MAGFest is intense!

Not much going on scoop-wise, other than today’s Amazon Deal of the Day in video games, which is Dead Rising 2 for the PlayStation 3. It’s on sale for $39.99 from $59.99, and it’s totally worth it. And don’t forget about the awesome, week-long buy 2, get 1 free sale going on at Best Buy that John Scalzo already reported on.

Amazon’s also got some more video game sales up its sleeve for this week – stay tuned to Warp Zoned for more information.

Daily Scoop: January 15, 2011 – The Key…Blade?

Posted on January 15, 2011 by Nicole Kline

I’m bringing you today’s Daily Scoop live from my hotel room at MAGFest! I should be watching a screening of the live action Mega Man film, but I slept in instead. D’oh!

Anyway, today’s Amazon Deal of the Day in video games is a download of Reign: Conflict of Nations for the PC. The price is…ahh…currently unavailable for some reason, but if it’s something you’re interested in, keep tapping F5.

In the meantime, Kingdom Hearts fans can check out today’s shirt.w00t.com t-shirt, which I’m assuming is a pretty cool looking Keyblade. If I’d ever played the games, I’d probably be drooling over the shirt – and even without playing them, I think it looks pretty cool.

Wear this shirt: while waiting for your significant other at the end of a Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt.

Mike Gutierrez and I are off to try to find some treasure chests. If you’re at MAGFest, say hello!
