It Came from the Bargain Bin

You don’t need to always shell out $60 for some decent gaming and this weeks ‘It Came from the Bargain Bin’ has some modest deals on some new and not so new games. 

 - If you’re a fan of Double Fine’s wacky brand of gaming then the “Oh So Fine Bundle” at Amazon will give you a lot of bang for your buck. $9.99 will net you Stacking, Psychonauts and Costume Quest with the Grubbins on Ice DLC. The entire pack is redeemable on Steam.

- Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City has hit the slightly bomba price drop of $39.99 on PS3 and Xbox 360.  Reviews are mixed to say the least but if you’re looking for a new multiplayer game to screw around with online, you could do a lot worse. Albeit you could do a lot better. GameStop

- Spend time with Lightning and her multicolored pals in Final Fantasy XIII-2. If you love playing dress-up then the growing library of costume DLC will keep you happy. You can fight and control monsters on PS3 and Xbox 360 for $29.99. GameStop

- Are you Dragonborn? If the answer is, “I don’t know what that means kind sir!”, then it’s times you find the hell out! Steam is offering Elderscrolls V: Skyrim on the platform where adventure never die (thanks to mods!) for $40. 

- I’m Batman! OK, no I’m not Batman but you can play as him and kick super villain ass this weekend if you pick up the excellent Batman: Arkham City at GamersGate for $11.98. That’s some damn fine gaming for hella cheap.

Kotobukiya is known for quality figures and the next in their DC Bishoujo line-up is fan favorite Harley Quinn. Approximately 10 inches tall, Harley will be available to sexify your desk this September. 

If you failed to pick up Batman: Arkham City, your patience is going to pay with Batman: Arkham City GOTY Edition. It comes loaded with every game DLC released so far and the new story DLC Harley Quinn’s Revenge. The icing on the batcake is an included download of BATMAN YEAR ONE the animated flick. 

For those that have the vanilla Arkham City, you can pick up the new Harley DLC for 9.99 this April 30th.

Super heroes and super villains need vacations too, and Gotham City Impostors gives us all a 12 on 12 First Person Shooter style look at what happens when Gotham’s finest caped crusader and his freakishly face painted foe are replaced with Kick-Ass style fill-ins.
