Good Deals for Today

Deals from the bargain hunter

• - I broke down and bought the Halo 3 Legendary Edition. It is only $60 today only at Amazon Gold Box. It sold out as I wrote this post!
• - Limited Edition is only $50 today only as the Video Game Deal-of-the-Day. (Sometimes the Legendary Edition pops up instead!)
• - I also got my copies of Mercury Meltdown Revolution for the Wii. It is cheap everyday, currently at $18 on Amazon. It's a great game for the price.

I've also been playing

• - Zack & Wiki for the Wii. It is a point-and-click puzzle game that seems pretty difficult at times. Cutest Monkey, ever. It is a very fun game, especially Zack's facial expressions.
• - Prism (Big Fish Games ver., PC). This puzzle game is also on the Nintendo DS. The first 16 puzzles are so easy that you're genuinely shocked at the learning curve. I can't remember which level, but you'll get to one that will hand you your ass on a silver platter. The concept is to take the light-beam-emitter creatures and place them anywhere on the board so that you mirrors, beam splitters, color filters, and prism splitters send the right-colored beams to the corresponding target creatures. The most amazing thing about the game is that you can place any object, other than the targets, anywhere on the 8x10 board that isn't covered by a wall. This makes the game seem simpler, but it isn't!
• - Mystery Case Files: Madame Fate (Big Fish Games, PC). This fourth game seems to be using a new-and-improved engine. No longer must you wait to click the next object you find. Also added are objects you must construct to find. The word puzzles are kind of easy, though. There are also large portraits of all of the carnies with a surprising amount of hidden objects.
• - Flipper Critters (NDS). This game is a nice 3D pinball, it's fun, and it's cheap.
• - Pogo Island (NDS). Have a Pogo.com account? You earn tokens and can transfer them to your online account! Word Whomp has a weak vocabulary, though.

EDIT: Gold Box has it in stock again!
