Daily Scoop: July 5, 2011 – Patriotic savings!

Posted on July 5, 2011 by Nicole Kline

The 4th of July has come and gone, but the savings still remain! The Internet is buzzing with deals, deals, deals. How many games did you buy this weekend?

Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games today is Namco’s Tekken 6 Limited Edition Wireless Fight Stick Bundle for the Xbox 360. It’s just $37.99 today, and includes the game, the Hori fight stick, and an art book. This is a good deal for any fan of the franchise! Also on Amazon is this ridiculous buy one, get one free sale, which includes Mini Ninjas for $25.55 on the PS3, Lost Planet 2 for $19.82 on the Xbox 360, this insane Wii Bowling Ball for $16.54, and much, much more. In addition to all that, Amazon’s also having another weekly deal, with Duke Nukem Forever at $37.99 for the regular edition and $79.99 for the Balls of Steel Edition, Hunted: The Demon’s Forge at $39.99 on PS3 and Xbox 360 and $29.99 on PC, and Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident for the DS only $14.99. Whew. That’s a lotta deals!

And there’s still more. Gamestop is also having a sale, with Tron: Evolution Collectors Edition for the PS3 and Xbox 360 marked down to $49.99 from $129.99, as well as God of War III for $14.99 (OMG). And F.3.A.R. seems to be on sale everywhere – it’s $39.99 on consoles and $29.99 on PC at Gamestop, and they’re also running a deal where you can get it bundled with the DVD or Blu-ray of Sucker Punch for $64.99 and $74.99, respectively. Now’s your chance to grab some games on the cheap!

No gaming t-shirts, but today’s Ript shirt gave me pause: (more…)

Daily Scoop: June 30, 2011 – Last day of June!

Posted on June 30, 2011 by Nicole Kline

Goodbye, June! We hardly knew ye. You gave us some good games, some good deals, and some good times. You were even pretty good with the weather. We’ll miss you now that July is here and August is looming.

As for today’s deals, Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games is Ubisoft’s Child Of Eden for the Xbox 360. This quirky game is just $34.99 today, and is “a visionary entertainment experience that synchronizes stunning graphics and innovative sound design to electrify the senses.” Also, it can help add to your Kinect library, if nothing else!

There are no good video game t-shirts today! What a bummer after yesterday’s veritable cornucopia of shirts. The best one today is shirt.w00t‘s Pie(rate) Chart shirt:

Squawk!

Daily Scoop: June 29, 2011 – More Uncharted 3 than you can handle!

Posted on June 29, 2011 by Nicole Kline

Did you make it into the beta for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception? No? Well we’ve got some good news – we have an extra beta code we’re giving away. Click here for more details! And let me tell you… this is a beta you don’t want to miss. I played a ton of it last night, and it’s fun!

For all of you crazy SRPG fans out there, Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games is Square Enix’s Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together for the PSP. It’s $27.99, and if Mike Gutierrez can be trusted, it’s pretty freaking amazing.

As for the t-shirt scene today, well, I want four of them – the shirt.w00t meme shirt, the Tee Fury Rorschach shirt, and Qwertee‘s Portal 2/Pokemon mash-up (gotta test ’em all!). But today’s clear winner is over at Ript Apparel. It’s aptly named “Yet Another Pixel Shirt,” and is pretty cool:

Wow. Love. <3

Daily Scoop: June 28, 2011 – Uncharted 3 Beta time!

Posted on June 28, 2011 by Nicole Kline

The day has finally arrived: the Uncharted 3 beta will be available for download in just a few short hours! I’m personally freaking out. The Uncharted 2 beta completely destroyed my life when it came out, so I’m eagerly anticipating having my life trashed once again. Sleep? Who needs it! Check out Mike “The G Spot” Gutierrez’s news post about it for more details.

What else? Well, Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games is Blizzard’s World of Warcraft: Cataclysm for the PC, on sale today for $19.99. If you’ve been waiting for this expansion, I’d definitely say that 50% off is a good deal!

No game-related t-shirts today, but the cleverness at Tee Fury made me chuckle:

Tee hee!

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Nicole Kline

We’ve got a lot of deals for you today! First up is a great one at Amazon – their Deal of the Day in video games, which is Batman: Arkham Asylum: Game of the Year Edition. Both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions are just $19.99 today. If you don’t already own this game, you must pick it up! It’s excellent, and will help prepare you for the October 18 release date of Batman: Arkham City.

Amazon’s also got loads of bonus offers up right now, including $25 promotional credit for buying a Nintendo 3DS, Kinect Sensor with Kinect Adventures, and the PlayStation Move Starter Bundle. Whew. That’s a lot of promotional credit!

Daily Scoop: June 23, 2011 – Thrilling Thursday

Posted on June 23, 2011 by Nicole Kline

Well, not really a thrilling Thursday, or even a Thriller Thursday, though we might have some thunder (and lightning) later. I’m not even really sure what I’m getting at here!

At least we’ve got Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games, which is Sega’s Sonic Classic Collection for the Nintendo DS. It’s $13.99, and features all four Sonic games from the Sega Genesis. Whether you’re a newcomer to the series or a huge fan who wants to play it at any available chance, this is a good deal for you and the perfect way to celebrate Sonic’s 20th birthday!

No video game shirts, but today’s Tee Fury shirt, called “Definition of a Turtle,” is definitely worth a mention:

Leonardo + typographic art = one amazing t-shirt.

Daily Scoop: June 22, 2011 – Happy humpday!

Posted on June 22, 2011 by Nicole Kline

It’s Wednesday at last! The middle of the week is upon us, in all its glory. Can you see Friday there, just over the crest?

The black hole created by yesterday’s Gold Box Event left us with only Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games, which is WB’s Scribblenauts for the Nintendo DS. At $12.99, it’s almost worth buying, but considering this game was so disappointing I didn’t even bother with Super Scribblenauts, I would pass. In fact, I would probably recommend getting the second one instead, even though I don’t have the heart to get it myself. I’m just too sad.

But hey, at least there are some amazing t-shirts today! The most relevant one to your interests, dear reader, is today’s Ript shirt, which is called “Super Subzero Bros” and is one of the greatest things ever created:

Instabuy.
