Video game deals of the week 5/31-6/6

    I almost did not post anything this week, but I thought you guys might get mad because I was recently on hiatus. I had a good reason this time though. There are NO FREAKING DEALS. Seriously... You can get...

- A $10 sims cash card for $5 at Best Buy

- or -

- Boom Blox Bash Party for $29.99 at Target.

    Yeah I'm serious that's it. You can try to see if Game Crazy (Hollywood Video) has any more copies of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for $14.99 but they are probably all gone. The only other thing I got for you a picture of the new PSP GO! which in itself is not a deal (I do not have the time or space to get into that.) and that's it. E3 Starts on Tuesday, so maybe we will see some good deals. Probably not.

G. I. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

    That may be the worst tag line for a post that this website has ever seen but I just had to put it. The poster for the new G I Joe movies is up and its just plain terrible. I don't quite understand the crazy suits and all that stuff. The one thing this movie has done right so far is cast Ray Park as Snake Eyes, the guy is awesome. I saw him at a convention once and he was teaching kids how to battle with lightsabers, stand up guy right? Well most of us are going to see this movie for the inevitable Snake Eyes Storm Shadow battle and I'll cross my fingers that its good.

Video game deals of the week 5/24-5/30

    First off, let me apologize for not posting this for a few weeks. Yes there were deals, some pretty decent ones actually. But lets not live in the past. Lets just realize that the semester of school is almost over, and I don't have to help Robert move anymore. Onto the deals.

- $37 games at Target. Not crap either. You have: Street Fighter IV, Tom Clancys HAWX, Call of Duty 4 (PS3/360), Guitar Hero Metallica (PS3/360/Wii), Mario Party 8 and Hannah Montana the Movie (Wii).

- Gamestop has Madworld for $29.99

- Best Buy has Resident Evil 5 for $49.99.
 
- At Toys R Us you can buy and 2 of these Wii games (All $49.99) and get a $50 gift card. Or buy one and get a $20 gift card. You can choose from: Madworld, Mario & Sonic at the Olympics, LEGO Batman, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, House of the Dead: Overkill, Monsters vs. Aliens, Guitar Hero: Metallica, Sonic Unleashed.

- I think Amazon is trying to clearance out You're in the Movies (With Camera) and Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts. ($14.97 and $17.97 respectively.)

- Wal-Mart (website) has the new Wii Punchout for $39.82 Free site to store shipping.

    Alright, that's all I could cram out of www.cheapassgamer.com for this week. Plus I wanted to throw some good stuff out since I have not been around the past few weeks. Hopefully we'll have some other stuff on the horizon. But for now, I would recommend downloading the inFAMOUS demo from PSN. It's awesome.

Sorry Everyone

    Sorry for the lack of posts lately, unfortunately I had to take a break from being a nerd and move. Site will be back up with multiple updates very soon. Until then I leave you with this bad ass artwork from Winona Nelson.

Videogames FTW

    Well, it's been a little while since I posted anything on the site, mostly because my addiction to acid took a turn for the worst and I wound up in Tibet. But that's all over with now, I'm all cleaned up and ready to get back to business. So I thought I'd post some new video game stuff that I deem worthy of watching...
    First off, here's the 'Meet the Assassin' video from Valve's sniper/assassin update for Team Fortress 2. It's could pass itself off as a Pixar short it's so well animated and written, they just got to throw in John Ratzenberger's voice and they're all set!

Video Games | Team Fortress 2 | Meet the Spy Trailer

XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii

    Uncharted 2 recently unveiled it's multiplayer trailer, which looks like it will be awesome, and now they have more a new video that shows off more than 5 minutes of the single player campaign. These beans are more than cool, they're epic...

Video Games | Uncharted 2: Among Thieves | Extended Warzone Gameplay

XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii

    In case you missed it, or just watched the edited version, here is the Bioshock 2 developer walkthrough. The plot seems to point to the Big Daddy having to save the Little Sisters from the Big Sister before the Big Mama comes home, or else there will be a Big Family Feud or something...

Video Games | BioShock 2 | Hunting the Big Sister Demo

XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii

   And the best for last, a trailer for the still unannounced game from Project Trico, the creators of Shadow of the Colossus and Ico. It looks awesome, to be blunt, not necessarily the graphics, but just in terms of how amazing this game looks like it's going to be. Just from it's style and feeling, you can really tell how much of a resemblance it bears towards SotC and Ico. And that's a good thing...

So Thor has been cast

    Apparently Chris Hemsworth who played Kirks Dad in the newest Star Trek has been cast as Thor. The funny thing about that is when I saw this guy in Start Trek I thought he would be the perfect Steve Rogers. It seems like a good cast though, the guy seemed pretty legit in Trek and I'm sure he will be good as the God of Thunder.

Portable Nintendo Entertainment System.

    Everyone still has their Nintendo cartridges in their closet. But unless you are Ben Heck you would never ever dream of having a portable NES system. You know, like a Game Boy but with your huge Nintendo cartridges. Well apparently people have been thinking about this for awhile because I came across one, and then links to two others. Only problem is they have tiny screens. 2.4", while the Nintendo DS  screens are 3". First I came across the Retro Mini Handheld NES System on ThinkGeek.

Comic Con Exclusive Destro

    Here is a picture of the box that the Comic Con exclusive Destro comes in and its enough to make me want one. The artwork on the box looks amazing and I have to get one. Heres the explanation of the toy.

"Covertly retrieved from a G.I. JOE evidence storage facility and released by the “COBRA Office of Propaganda,” this special edition 3 ¾” DESTRO 2-Pack represents James “Destro” McCullen’s personal bound tome containing the history of the Clan McCullen.  Opens to reveal two fully articulated 3 ¾” carded McCullen figures with masks and accessories as seen in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, as well as a timeline highlighting the weapons supplying escapades of each McCullen generation throughout history."
