Chrimbo shopping bargains

Just the two.

Donkey Konga is 60 everywhere except in smyths where its 50. If you use your loyalty card its only 40. the games in smyths seem to be cheaper than anywhere else and they seem to be knocking off quite a bit with the loyalty card. Don't have a loyalty card? Then just sign up for one on the spot.

Psi-Ops on PS2 is going for 15 in Game which is both a steal and a shame. A steal because its quite new and very good and a shame because it looks like its another BG&E, excellent game but discounted because its not selling at all.

Bad news for Gamecube owners like myself Paper Mario 2 can't be found anywhere on the northside. And the cute girl in Game didn't help when she told me they hadn't had it in for 2 weeks but she had a copy and smiled as if it was brilliant.

On the subject of BG&E, it's down to 20 on GC and 15 on PS2 in Game.

This one slipped by me somehow though it's not my primary kind of game. Checked out the website and it seems quite good. Twenty euro seems like a bargain do you reckon it's really that good?

Well any review of it I've ever read has given it an 80-90%ish score. Think I'll be grabbing it for GC tomorrow Though what with getting Paper Mario 2 from the big fat man in the big red suit and not being finished Metroid Prime 2, can't see myself getting much time to play...:(

Also Psi-Ops is 15 on Xbox too, if anyone wanted it for the behemoth.
And Madden is down to 30 on all formats.

You'll walkthrough BG&E - it's not the toughest of games and the story keeps you playing.

They told me they had none :rolleyes: Think I'll just order it from play.

Might pick up gregory horror show.

And Rainbow kirby if you liked zelda you will like BG&E. Its very similar and is definitely a 90%+ game despite whet the some rag mags say.

I thought you would be well hungover

Spare a thought for the poor bastard that had to work this morning

Retr0gamer

Well my brothers coughing woke me up. All i can do is point and laugh at you. Now back to farcry.

Praetorian

Well I get paid for the whole day, and I'm leaving now so

Not only did I get all of that budweiser for free, I got 10 bottles of wine, 3 bottles of whiskey, a bottle of cognac

I should open offlicense Praetoriano!

I got Sly 2 on the PS2 for €30 in Game yesterday. Which is quite good as it came out very recently.

Oh, and I'd also like to say that Beyond Good and Evil is an excellent title. There are some really great cinematic moments in it and the music is really good too.

Also the main character isn't just a pair of tits on legs like most video game heroines.

I felt it was all over a bit soon.. and the last level wasn't really a full proper level... but it's probably good that it leaves you wanting more...

I've played through it completely twice since I got it... it's still alot of fun a second time through.

I haven't seen it in the shop myself though. You'd probably want to have serious brain damage not to buy it at that price...

ObeyGiant

Play are selling Chronicles of Riddick for a little over EUR25 - Bargain.

i_am_dogboy

I picked up a copy of breed in HMV for €14, saw the pc beyond good and evil for €16 there too. Also worth a mention is thief 3 for £10 on the game website, and siberia special edition thing for €25, but I can't remember where i saw that.

exactly. it's by far the best deal ive seen.

got psi-ops for the xbox and it's brilliant! i spent ages just kicking bodies down stairs and dropping boxes on my head. lol

rainbow kirby

Another one in GAME: Viewtiful Joe, PS2, €15.

evad_lhorg

yea this is my reccomendation that im useing for ps2 sale lurkers. psi ops is what im using for xbox cause it's fookin deadly!(well it's a very good game, not a classic like VJ)

the corpo

bought v rally 3 on Gamecube today for 14.99 in game, over extreme g3 which is 12.99

v rally had been 34.99 so it was a pretty big reduction, whereas extreme g was previously only 14.99

the fact that its previous price had only been 14.99 put me off extreme g, but....

vrally is bloody awful

think it might be worth bringing back tomorrow!



also picked up donkey konga, which is amazing fun. had a few friends over this evening and we're all in agony from all the slapping and the clapping and hitting etc.
excellent game, pity extra bongos are hard to come by
