Geek Gift Guide 2011: Video Games


by C P

Black Friday is almost here, which means you need to know what to get and where. I will give you a heads up on the top 5 gaming buys for Black Friday and Cyber Monday and every shopping day this year.

1.  Playstation 3 Bundle

12am, get your butt to Best Buy to try and grab a door buster. 160 gb Playstation 3. Comes with Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One and Little Big Planet 2 Special Edition. Playstation plays games, blu-rays, dvds and does much much more. Plus Little Big Planet 2 is one of the most entertaining games of the season. There is pretty much no reason why you shouldn’t spend your college savings. Pick this gem up at  $199.99 at Best buy and Toys R Us, or skip the stores and pick yours up at Amazon.

2. Xbox 360 Bundle

Another gem from Best Buy. 250 gb Xbox 360 complete with 3 months of XBox Live, Headset, and 2 games. Fable III, is the follow-up to Fable II. Players will find the game not extremely difficult, but will experience what some might say are challenging and difficult moments as you have to follow through with promises you’ve made since the start of the game. The bundle also comes with Halo Reach, which if you like one Halo game, you’ll like ANY Halo game. Although I love Playstation more, there are some games that you just can’t get unless you have an Xbox. Gears of War series is prime example, and lets be honest…you should probably have every console that exists.  Keep in mind you can skip the stores and pick yours up at Amazon!

3. Xbox Kinect

If you have an Xbox 360, then you should get the Kinect Add-on. There are soooo many fun and amazing games that work with Kinect. It opens up a whole new type of gaming experience for you and your family. My particular favorite is Microsoft Dance Cental. Why? Since Dance Dance Revolution doesn’t really have readily avaiable pads for ps3 or xbox 360, you have to get your groove on some way without actually going to a club and getting beaten up. Pick yours up at Amazon.

4. Gears of War 3

Many stores have this hit for 29.99. Head to Wal Mart, Best Buy, or Toys R Us to grab this hit. If you or your kid has an xbox 360, GO GET IT. GOW3 has a killer story line and incredible graphics. Additionally, you can play horde with your friends and destroy the seemingly endless waves of enemies with a plethora of memorable weapons and arsenal. When I first played this at Comic Con, I was hooked and was the entire reason why I purchased an Xbox 360. If you miss out on black friday, pick one up on Amazon.

5.  SO MANY GAMES TO BUY

If you are not aware, Toys R Us has an amazing deal, buy one game for 29.99-59.99 and get one for 5 bucks. (affilliate link pending, but until then, click the links below to) Get yours on Amazon. Here are some that you might want to look at getting….

Gears of War 3 (Xbox 360)
Battlefield 3 (Xbox 360 and PS3)

God of War III (Xbox 360 and PS3)
