Unless you’re lucky enough to have avoided literally hundreds of insidiously jolly adverts on the telly machine, it may have escaped your attention that Christmas is around the corner.
To help you ignore the relentlessly irritating Christmas joy and festivity we’ve compiled a glorious list of the cheapest places to get the recentest and bestest games:
Looking for a Christmas pressie for that special gamer in your life? Or have you recently blown up your PS3 trying to fix the YLOD whilst being too heavy handed with a heat gun?
(Aherm)
Regardless, we have rounded up the best console prices out there for the Xbox360, PS3, Wii and those new-fangled 3DS thingers.
Possessing your body just long enough to shout “TARTS!” in a library, today’s sale unites all four main games platforms. This is not the first time Driver SF has appeared in Cheap Happens, so I’ll quote myself, as I cannot hope to ever come close to the quality of writing that myself possesses:
Reviewed by Andrew here, Driver SF is a free roaming driving game with a very interesting mechanic. He had this to say:
“At the touch of a button Tanner [the guy you play] can initiate an out of body experience. You can then float around the city, all in dreamy slow motion, entering other drivers’ bodies at will.”

Is it time to weep if you missed the chance to pre-order Saints Row the Third? Normally a day 1 release is the worst time to buy a game if you want good value for money. However some shops are still selling it at great value.

Appearing as if from nowhere. Today’s sale is extremely good value for the PC gamers, and pretty good for you console owners too.
This cutesy hack ‘n slash game was well received when it came out in 2009. It includes the usual third person beat ‘em up game-play with added Ninjary elements. Such as sneaking up on enemies through cover, wall running and magic.

I really like Steam. As a service it is one of the best. But occasionally they make mistakes. Perhaps it’s not Steam, but rather the publishers who use it. Either way I will always try to warn you of any foul-play (or genuine mistakes).
[Edit; I too have made a mistake. So bracketed parts below for corrections.]
The current Midweek Madness sale is not what it seems. Continue reading
Congratulations to @freeradical_se for winning our Skyrim comp. May many, many moons pass before you sleep again.
As for the rest of us (yes, we didn’t get a free copy either), here are the places where you can buy this magnificent scaly beast while we’re still in pre-order territory:
Shopping for birthday presents can be a arduous tiresome experience. Thankfully on my return I was greeted by a shiny new Skyrim trailer. In my exhausted state, and ignoring the “you are over-encumbered” message floating in front of me; I prepared myself for another bombastic roller-coaster of thrills and (blood) spills.
Instead my tired eyes and brain were pleasantly surprised by this soothing and very confident video. You won’t find Michael Bay anywhere near this one…
Today’s sale is a Chainsword through your Ork-skinned wallet.
This wonderfully gory splatter-fest (it’s ok if they’re aliens right..?) Space Marine game, takes you through a campaign against Orks and Chaos. It also contains multi-player death-match modes. Apparently there is great visceral glee in combining ranged attacks with melee moves when taking on mobs of bad guys.
As you can probably tell I haven’t had time to play this game yet. I’m personally holding out for a Genestealer version.

Stealing Cars. Pah! That’s soo passé. Today’s sale is skydiving naked whilst beating off goons (pun intended) with a giant ‘toy’.
Yes its the lovably boorish Saints Row (I’m hoping they’ll put that quote on the box). Despite its brief moments of nastiness in the style of late 90s gangster movies and despite (and maybe because of) its crass stereotyping of everyone; I really love Saints Row 2.
For the third game I’m torn between having my avatar look like a Porn-Star Ninja, or Mary Whitehouse. Having the freedom to choose is brilliant. I love the madcap missions, or the insane level of freedom to just have fun. The Third is promising more of the best bits and I can’t wait to get my hands on them (again, pun intended).
