20 2K Games titles available in one convenient Steam pack


Steam is offering an incredible deal on 20 of 2K Games' hottest titles in the 2K Huge Games Pack. Featuring well-known titles such as Bioshock and Civilization IV, the package is a steal at $53.99. In fact, that's only a few dollars more than that bunk Bioshock bundle, so if you've got the extra dough laying around and want some new games to play, we suggest you check this deal out.

Face-melting deal: GHWT guitar and mic for $50, today only


Everyone's favorite plastic peripheral purveyor, Red Octane, is having a bit of a deal today. The normally $60 wireless guitar and $20 wired microphone for Guitar Hero World Tour (across all platforms) are being offered together in a $50 package -- today only!

If you're less than impressed by the GHWT deal from today, why not get into your fancy schmancy time machine and head back to yesterday when you could've gotten an even better deal? Oh, what's that -- you don't have a time machine? Guess you're stuck with the $50 dollar deal over at Red Octane's website then, fancy pants.

Logitech Driving Force wireless wheel half-price at Best Buy


Logitech's PS3 and PS2 compatible wireless racing wheel is currently on sale at Best Buy for $49.99, half the peripheral's regular price. While the Driving Force Wireless isn't the best wheel in the manufacturer's catalog, it features compatibility with a plethora of racing titles and Force Feedback. Logitech's higher-end models feature 900 degrees of rotation, better build quality and enhanced Force Feedback, but demand beefier price tags. If you're looking to add an inexpensive wheel to your regular gear-head gaming sessions, this could be the wheel for you.

Tomorrow's eBay deal: Xbox Live 12-month subscription


If you're coming dangerously close to renewal time for your Xbox Live Gold subscription, then you may want to keep an eye on eBay. The online auction site provided a sneak peek at tomorrow's deal earlier today, and it's set to offer the subscription card as its daily deal tomorrow.

The exact sale price has not been revealed, though. Hopefully it'll be something a bit more substantial than a few bucks off, and, if that's the case, we'll be sure to let you know.

Microsoft offering Silver members one month of Xbox Live Gold for $1


No, Xbox Live Silver members, that's not a massive typo you're seeing on the dashboard's Spotlight channel. Microsoft really is offering one month of Gold membership for $1 to US users. Of course, it's a "limited-time offer" -- and when that month's up, you'll be automatically charged for the next 11 months of membership (which you can opt out of). The last time MS offered a deal on Gold membership was back in March, where Silver users were offered one year of the good stuff for $39.99, $10 off the regular price.

Lara's Underworld adventure goes budget in the UK


According to Tomb Raider Chronicles, Eidos has announced that Tomb Raider Underworld has become part of the Xbox 360 Classics range as well as PS3 Platinum Hits in the UK. The upshot here is that both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions should now be available for a mere £19.99. We've contacted Eidos to see if the new price applies to all PAL regions and if North America will see any budget love.

Considering Eidos was disappointed in the game's sales in North America and the game enjoyed relative success in the UK, we're not holding our breath.

Buy a PSP, get Chains of Olympus or LocoRoco 2 free at GameStop


if you've yet to nab yourself a PSP -- or if you're looking for an excuse to upgrade to a PSP-3000 -- GameStop just might have a deal for you. Right now, if you buy a new PSP system, you can snag either God of War: Chains of Olympus or LocoRoco 2 for free. Granted, both games only cost around $20 anyway, but a free game is a free game. The offer is available in-store or online (use the code FREEGOW). Our local GameStop stated that the offer was only good for the core system, though it looked like the discount was being applied when we put a Dissidia bundle into our cart on GameStop.com (attempt at your own risk).

The offer ends on May 21 (this Thursday), so you'd best be snappy if this deal is for you.

Star punch $10 off Punch-Out's retail price at Amazon


You know what's better than reliving your childhood by picking up Nintendo's new Punch-Out!!? Doing it for $10 less than the suggested retail price, that's what. If you agree, you'll be happy to know that Amazon is currently offering the game for a mere $40. Looking at it purely from a punch-to-dollar ratio, that's a tremendous value. If you've yet to pre-order the game, head over to Amazon and lay your money down. Unless, of course, you're Bald Bull, in which case you'll probably just charge it.

Buy 2 used games, get one free at GameStop


The bargain hunters over at Slickdeals.net have uncovered a decent sale at GameStop and EB Games this weekend. The deal is pretty simple: Buy two used games (or accessories), get one free. The deal is even valid online, which is a nice plus. To apply the deal online, simply type the code "BUY2GET1" in the promotion box. Slickdeals notes that you can also get free shipping by entering the code "SAVER."

Given that we've more or less entered the spring gaming slump, now is the perfect time to pick up some older games you may have missed.

Snag the EndWar headset bundle for $40


Newegg.com is selling the Tom Clancy's EndWar headset bundle for only $40. That's a considerable savings, even over Amazon's already reduced price. If you've been waffling over whether to pick up EndWar, or even a headset, this deal is worth a look.

Now, that's all well and good, but the bigger news just might be that you can also pick up Rock Revolution complete with the sweet drum kit for $40 as well. At that price, it's almost worth giving it to a friend as a prank.

Almost.

Buy 4000 MS Points from Amazon, get $10 free credit


There's a new deal at Amazon's recently opened Xbox Live Store. Right now, if you purchase 4000 Microsoft Points, you'll get $10 in credit on future purchases. Essentially, it's like getting another 800 points. For those that can't pony up $50 for the 4000 points, Amazon is also offering $5 in free credit for purchasing 1600 MS Points.

It's not exactly a killer deal either way, but it should nab an extra XBLA game or at least some DLC down the road. Regardless, given XBLA prices lately, you'll need all the points you can get.

[Thanks, Jonathan]

Coupon: 25% off used Xbox games at GameStop


GamerDeals has posted a GameStop coupon that grants lucky customers 25% off used games for the original Xbox. We figured there was no better time to point out some of the original Xbox games that you can't play on your Xbox 360. Here are just a few:
  • Otogi
  • Otogi 2
  • GunValkyrie
  • Beyond Good & Evil
  • Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
  • Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones
  • Taito Legends
  • X-Men Legends
  • Top Spin
  • Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
  • Rainbow Six 3
By all means, go snap up some other Xbox games with the coupon. We just wanted to inject some bittersweetness into the deal, because that's how we roll. Oh, and the coupon expires on April 16, so hop to it.

Being cheap made easier with CAG's new price tracking

There's nothing wrong with saving a buck or two (or twenty), which is why the wallet guardians over at Cheap Ass Gamer are doing what they can to make deal hunting easy. The site has just implemented an adjustable "Price Email Alerts" feature that automatically sends a tip to your inbox once a game hits the low price you've personally set. Just make sure to set somewhat realistic price points -- or you might have an empty inbox. In the video posted after the break, CAG's CheapyD explains how to use and benefit from the new feature.

Additionally, CheapyD told us that CAG is planning to roll out a game trading system that will tie in with its new "collection" and "wishlist" features. "The main goal here is to make CAG a video game shopping portal," said CheapyD. "We want to have the best of everything related to video game shopping and trading." We were also told that the new trading system will have Goozex integration -- for all those who engage in other forms of online trading.

Currently, the email alerts (and other new features) only work for US and UK deals, and are only available to members. Membership is free, though, in case any of you cheapos were wondering.

Xbox deals aplenty at Amazon today


The frugal sleuths over at Cheap Ass Gamer have uncovered some great deals on Xbox 360 games at Amazon today. How would you like to snag Banjo Kazooie or Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise for just $19.97? For the casual gamers out there, you might like to pick up the Scene-It: Box Office Smash bundle for $29.97 (or the game only for $19.97) or Lips for $39.97. If your tastes skew a little more hardcore, you can grab Halo Wars, Fable II or Gears of War 2 for $49.97 each.

Now that spring is in the air, what could be better than picking up some cheap games and staying indoors? Nothing, that's what. You'd better pick these up while they're still on sale though. If not, you might just have to go outside.

Target: Buy 2 Wii games, get 1 free

Beginning this Sunday, Target is having a great promotion on Nintendo Wii titles. Customers who buy two Wii titles (priced at $49.99 or more) can pick up a third title (priced at equal or lesser value, at a max of $49.99) for free.

The catch? The offer is only available in stores! That means you online shoppers must first acquire pants, get into your car, drive to the store ... man, this sounds like a lot of work! But with over 80 games available in the offer, it might be worth the effort.

Also, if you plan on picking up Animal Crossing ... be prepared to answer a few questions.
