Bargain Games

July 17, 2008

I am sure you have all picked up a ridiculously cheap game at some point that was too cheap to resist. This week I managed to pick up Splinter Cell: Double Agent on 360 for £3. It was second hand but works fine. I have already completed it which verifies that it is a very good game in my books. Usually I take longer to complete games I am less drawn to but with this I went straight through it. I have every previous splinter cell but was put off of double agent when it first come out because it looked like a different kind of game. The reality is however that the double agent idea works very well, where you are working for a terrorist organisation whilst gathering evidence against them. The story line is pretty good and the main characters are well portrayed. It all most made me not want to betray the terrorists near the end of the game. Another feature of this game is the ability to make choices, you juggle the respect of your spy agency and the terrorist organisation with the decisions you make. Depending on how things are when you get to the end you will get one of three different endings.

So this was a nice bargain for me, but what have you found?

Show me in the comments.



Cheap Wii Storage (SD cards at play.com)

July 16, 2008

If like me you have downloaded quite a bit of addition content and games for your Wii then its likely to be getting pretty full. I recently went on the hunt for an SD card to solve my lack of memory issue and found some very cheap ones on play.com. When I ordered mine they were £5.99, but they are now £6.50 so the prices are fluctuating somewhat. Either way they are very cheap and 2 gigs is a lot of Wii blocks( 1MB is approx 8 blocks).

So if you live in Europe and need an SD card play.com is the place to order from.

The SD cards I am referring to are the SanDisk 2GB.

There are cheaper play.com alternatives but there are some comments of those not working very well.

Thanks to my extra space I have the chance to get most of the wii ware games, reviews to come soon!
