Daily Scoop: March 6, 2012 – Time for Mass Effect 3

Posted on March 6, 2012 by Nicole Kline

If you’re anything like Warp Zoned-ers Ryan Littlefield and John Martin, then you’re probably already playing Mass Effect 3. You’ve either called in sick or taken the day off months ahead of time in order to bask in that new-game smell. I hope everyone is having an awesome time! I need to be that excited about a game… well, Borderlands 2 isn’t that far off, amirite?

Anyway, not much in the way of deals today – Amazon’s got their Deal of the Day in video games, which is just Activision’s Guitar Hero 5 Stand Alone Software for $19.99. They’ve also got two brand new weekly deals up – one is Final Fantasy XIII-2 on sale for $44.99 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The other deal is 15% off the Xbox 360 4GB Console with Kinect, bringing it down to $255.98. Scoop ’em up!

Just one gaming t-shirt today: (more…)

Daily Scoop: March 5, 2012 – Skyrim day!

Posted on March 5, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Wow, that weekend flew by! I played a lot of D&D, Pandemic, Silent Hill, and Final Fantasy XIII-2. Oh, and I freaked out over last night’s episode of “The Walking Dead.” Are the writers actively trying to destroy the story? I mean seriously guys. Guys… seriously.

Anyway, apparently it’s Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim day today! It’s the Amazon Deal of the Day in video games for just $39.99 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. If you haven’t gotten a chance to pick this game up yet, what are you waiting for? Now’s your chance!

Today’s t-shirt is related to Skyrim, and should elicit more than a few chuckles: (more…)

Posted on March 2, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Whew! I have had a busy day so far. I got my license renewed, had a meeting, went to the doctor, picked up a board game, and baked. I. Am. AMAZING!

You know what else is amazing? Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games, which is Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It’s on sale today for $39.99 for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. That’s a good scoop!

Daily Scoop: March 1, 2012 – In like a lion…

Posted on March 1, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Hello, March! So glad to see you. That means we’re one step closer to beautiful spring! If we can just get through a few more weeks without a major snowstorm, we’ll be scott free. Hopefully I didn’t just jinx us…

Anyway, what’s going in the world of deals? Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games is Sega’s Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympics for the Wii. It’s on sale for today only for just $34.99. Is this your bag, baby? Then scoop it up! Not sure why I just went into Austin Powers mode! Must be my hyper-ness pouring out through my fingers.

Sadly, there are no game-related shirts, but there’s an awesome poster I’d like to share, as well as some cool shirts I just happen to like: (more…)

Daily Scoop: February 29, 2012 – Leap Day!

Posted on February 29, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Happy Leap Day! It’s that fourth year that isn’t a non-divisible-by-400 year that actually has an extra day in February. Wait, did I even get that right? You know how I am with numbers, people…

Today, we’re in one of our typical day-after-a-Gold-Box-Event-black-holes… there’s not really much to talk about. Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games is a $25 promotional credit when you purchase the Xbox 360 4GB Console. Talk about utterly tepid!

To make up for it, there are two video game related shirts today, one of which is AMAZING and I want to buy it right now: (more…)

Daily Scoop: February 28, 2012 – Gold Box Tuesday!

Posted on February 28, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Whew! That was some weekend. I never wanted it to end! I loaded myself up with too much Dungeons and Dragons on Saturday – actually, it wasn’t too much, it was just enough. But I still felt like a glutton. And Sunday I got my fill of board games with half a dozen (losing) games of Pandemic. Sometimes you just want to play until you win, but the mutation isn’t going to let you do that!

Anyway, welcome, ladies and gents, to yet another Gold Box event in video games! Hopefully the Gold Box deals today won’t be as bland as they usually are. I’m sorry, is that too pessimistic?

Here’s our list for today:

  • 6AM PST/9AM EST – “Make hell your battleground in this hot release for the PlayStation Vita” – Army Corps of Hell for the Vita for $29.99!
  • 8AM PST/11AM EST – “Grab your eyepatch for this PSP adventure” – this is LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean for PSP for $13.99!
  • 10AM PST/1PM EST – “The latest installment in the world-renowned series, which has shipped over 100 million units worldwide.” – could this be Final Fantasy XIII-2?
  • 1PM PST/4PM EST – “Turtle Beach’s top-of-the-line XBOX 360 headset” – pretty self-explanatory
  • 3PM PST/6PM EST – “Get a total body dance workout on the Nintendo Wii!” – some kind of fitness game – perhaps Zumba Fitness?
  • 6PM PST/9PM EST – “Its getting dark in here… Again” (Hey Amazon – that should be “It’s getting dark in here.” Get some editors!) – Darkness II, anyone?
  • 8PM PST/11PM EST – “Play with all your favorite toys within this DS game” – we’re thinking Skylanders

On the t-shirt tip, this one is completely unrelated to video games, but any t-shirt that references “The Wire” is a must-buy in my book: (more…)

Daily Scoop: February 23, 2012 – That Borderlands 2 trailer song

Posted on February 23, 2012 by Nicole Kline

If you’re anything like me, you’ve watched that awesome Borderlands 2 trailer half a dozen times already, wishing you knew whose song was playing in the background. Well, good news: my amazing boyfriend gave me the answer! The artist is Nero and the song is called “Doomsday.” I mean, I know a lot of people are loving or hating on dubstep right now, but I’m really digging this song. And that title is pretty fitting for the trailer…

What are the big deals today? Well, to start, Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games is Atlus’ The King of Fighters XIII. It’s on sale for $39.99 on both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. Amazon’s also got a lot of other deals going on right now as well, all of them PC downloads:

Just one gaming shirt today, and I think it’s going to make a lot of people happy… (more…)

Daily Scoop: February 22, 2012 – Borderlands 2 edition

Posted on February 22, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Well, I can’t really say it’s a Borderlands 2 edition, per se, but I can confirm that I have watched the trailer three times already, and that I can’t wait until September 18 gets here. I mean seriously – have you seen it? My jaw is still on the floor.

Anyway, let’s see what’s going on in the sale world today! Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games day is EA Sports’ Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 for $14.99 on the Xbox 360. This is half off the original price, so scoop it up!

And don’t forget about the big used sale going on at GameFly! Is that holiday money burning a hole in your pocket? I know the best way to spend it…

We’ve got not one, but two game-related shirts for you today! One is Mario Kart themed and the other has to do with everyone’s favorite NES cheat code. (more…)
