We haven't heard much about Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles as of late, but that's probably because everyone's been hunkered down playing it. For those who haven't, however, have we got a deal for you! Right now, Amazon has slashed the price on the game to only $20 with free shipping.
Our very own Nick Doerr gave the game an 8.5 when he reviewed it, and even said, "If you love Castlevania, this is the definitive game to get." Well, there you have it; if you're a Castlevania fan, this should definitely be in your library.
Believe it or not, major retailers are still carrying UMD movies, but Circuit City is most definitely the place to go to add to your collection this week. Through Sunday, the retail chain is offering several great titles for only $7 a piece. Here's the full line-up:
Spider-Man 2
Spider-man
XXX
Men In Black
Big Daddy
Bad Boys
Underworld
S.W.A.T.
Hitch
Click
If you'd like our personal picks, we'd have to go with Men in Black and Underworld. Both take interesting twists to their respective genres and are damn entertaining. While you're there, look for Mortal Kombat: Unchained, because it's on sale for $14.
After opening your gifts on Christmas, we're sure there were a few cards with several $20 bills tucked neatly inside, and now it's just burning a hole in your pocket, right? Well, if that's the case, we'll help ya spend it! Through Jan. 4, Gamefly is having a great sale on a ton of PSP games, and to make it all the more sweeter, every game comes with free shipping.
Here are just a few of the great deals to be had.
Coded Arms - $7
Death Jr. - $10
Infected - $10
Ultimate Ghosts 'N Goblins - $13
Tomb Raider: Legend - $15
Crush - $18
Valhalla Knights - $20
With such great deals on some pretty darn good games, it's hard to turn away. If you want extra-special-mega-epic cool points, be sure to pick up Crush; it's one of the generation's most original and oddly unique games you'll play.
Have you seen those yuppie types who think they need a huge speaker system for their tiny Ipod? Well, did you know the PSP also has rather large speakers systems itself? And right now, you can pick up the Pysclone Nodus Speaker System for $15 shipped at NewDayNewDeal.com.
Powered by two 15-watt speakers, the Psyclone Nodus also doubles as a PSP docking station allowing you to recharge your PSP while watching videos or listening to your favorite mp3s. You better hurry up, though, because this deal ends tonight at midnight.
Note: This will most likely not be compatible with the PSP-2000.
Chances are most PSP owners are chomping at the bit to get ahold of Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles as soon as it's available, but Gamestop's making that decision even easier. People who pre-order the game before it releases Oct. 23 through Gamestop's website will get a free "8-bit Simon Belmont figure."
We couldn't imagine passing up on Dracula X Chronicles as it features an enhanced Rondo of Blood version as well as unlockable versions of Symphony of Night and the original Rondo of Blood for a mere $30, but the old-school Belmont figure is just icing on the cake.
If you're looking to get in on this deal, you better hurry as it's only good until supplies last.
If you're not quite ready to make the jump to the PSP-2000 or just need a spare system for some "extra curricular" activities, you should know Gamestop is selling used original PSPs for only $100.
This deal doesn't work online, so you'll have to get off the couch and actually go down to the store. You better hurry, though, because this deal expires Sept. 27.
If Prostroke Golf wasn't your taste and you want to try a more "arcadey" golf game, look no further than the Hot Shots series. And right now you can get Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee for only $6 shipped at Familyvideo.com.
Just follow these simple, step-by-step instructions for cheap-gaming bliss.
The game received a perfect 100 score from Gamespy, and they said, "For a truly surreal experience, take Hot Shots out to the course during your next 18, and play a hole or two in between real holes. The only danger there is the rest of your group might become too hooked on what you're doing on Open Tee rather than finishing the real round."
If you just so happen to be in the market for a new PSP, you might be interested to know that you can currently get a free $20 game with the purchase of a Core PSP at Meijer stores.
I'm not totally sure how Meijer prices its non-Greatest Hits games, so you may or may not have to choose from the Greatest Hits library. But if you're looking for some wrestling action and have plenty of time on your hands, WWE Smackdown 2006wasjust recently dubbed a Greatest Hit.
You better hurry, because this deal is only good until Nov. 18.
If you're like me, then you like to buy your games on the cheap. And you can't get much cheaper than Circuit City and its $17 clearance on a bunch of PSP games.
Here's the list:
Burnout Legends Death Jr. FIFA World Cup 2006 Lumines Mega Man: Powered Up Midway Arcade Treasures Namco Museum Battle Collection NBA Ballers Rebound Pinball Hall of Fame Ridge Racer SSX On Tour Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max WWE Smackdown vs. Raw
Yeah, most of these games are a tad old, but we gotta take the deals as they come to us, right? It doesn't look like this deal is currently being offered online, so you'll have to get off the computer and go outside.
I've had a soft spot for the Bust-A-Move series ever since I fell in love with it on the Sega Saturn, so it really made my day when I saw that Circuit City is selling Bust-A-Move Deluxe for only $10.
The deal is good in-store or at Circuitcity.com, however, it's currently showing out of stock on the website.
Deluxe has a 73 percent Gamerankings score and includes new characters, a new Ghost mode and has more than 1,000 puzzles. I haven't had a chance to play it, but with this amazing deal, it's just too good to pass up.
If you're like me and have recently been bitten by the old-school gaming bug on the PSP, you'll be happy to hear of a nice deal at Best Buy. You can currently snag Gradius Collectionfor only $15 by using Best Buy's Gamer Gift Card.
You see, the Gamer Gift Card gives you $5 off a $20 or higher game. All you do is buy the gift card, put a few bucks on it and use it to slash a quarter of the price off any $20 game. Pretty easy, huh?
Do you remember all those incredibly great Memory Stick deals a while back? Well, it looks like a new round may be upon us as Outpost is offering a 4GB SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo for a measly $90 after rebate. And to make the deal even better, there's even an offer for free shipping. Can't beat that.
It's amazing how quickly the Memory Sticks are dropping in price since it was only January when the 4GB and 8GB sticks were unveiled. With this rate, the 32MB sticks Sony bundled with the PSP will be virtually worthless, if they aren't already.
I really believe Tomb Raider: Legend is going to be looked at as the game that got the series back on track. Sure, it had its fair share of problems, like being too short, but the game looks so pretty and plays so well, it's definitely worthy of being in any gamer's library.
And now, you can get a used copy of Legendfor only $20 at Gamefly.com. Yeah, Gamefly is that online video-game rental site, but they do sell their stock every now and then. And, if you're a Gamefly member, you get an extra 5 percent knocked off your total.
Last week, Play-Asia had a great deal on a few imports, and now CompUSA is offering similarly cheap games that were actually released in the U.S. These deals are good instore and online, but most of the online titles are now out of stock. Also, rumors are the games actually ring up cheaper instore.
Click here for a list of your nearest CompUSA's inventory blowout, then type in your zip code, select your store and proceed to spend money.
The list is pretty lengthy, so check it out after the break.
