Here are other two good deals on Circuitcity. The first of them is called Crysis. I haven’t had the chance to play it yet but it looks great. You can get this futuristic first person shooter game Crysis at circuitcity for $20 after discounts. Crysis is not available for purchase online but you can buy it in circuitcity stores for the same price.

Another discount on offer at circuitcity is Portal. Portal is a the first first-person puzzle action adventure game ever created. Portal has won 40 different awards for its innovative game play, 15 of those awards were Game of the Year awards. Portal provides hours of unique game play. Portal was created by Valve.

PlayStation 3 is a state of the art console game anyone can buy on the market. There are three different specification available for a PlayStation 3 and the specification for PlayStation 3 (PlayStation 3 40GB System) from the contest is:

• Internal 2.5″ SATA 40GB Hard Disk Drive
• Built-in Blu-ray/DVD/CD player
• Cell Broadband Engine advanced microprocessor
• SIXAXIS wireless controller
• Screen sizes supported : 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p
• HDMI out - (x1 / HDMI), Analog: AV MULTI OUT x 1, Digital audio: DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) x 1
• Memory : 256MB XDR Main RAM, 256MB GDDR3 VRAM
• Two USB 2.0 Ports

A PlayStation 3 with the above features costs $400 at Amazon.com . This is actually the lowest specification PlayStation 3 console available. There are other two PlayStation 3 consoles available (PlayStation 3 60GB System and PlayStation 3 80GB System). Sony has been a leader in console gaming but with the release of Xbox Console, it has declined a bit and PlayStation 3 is the answer to Xbox. PlayStation is a big expensive than an Xbox or Nintendo Wii but the hardware on it superior than both of them. Sony was on top with their first PlayStation and then again with PlayStation 2. They were the sole superpower in console gaming. PlayStation 3 is designed to last so don’t expect a newer version (PlayStation 4??) at least for the next five years.

Xbox is now offering free download of the game called Undertow. This offer is only for Xbox Live subscribers. There was a bit of a Glitch in the Xbox live system in the past month of December and Microsoft are trying to mend it by giving away free download of Undertow for Xbox Live subscribers. This offer starts from January 23rd to January 27th. After that period of time, people will have to pay the regular price of 800 points. Undertow is getting some good reviews from games review sites and at gamestats.com Undertow is rated at 8.5 and is rated at 8.3 by gamers. Undertow is a Xbox360 game.

Undertow is a fast-paced action-shooter that sends you underwater as you battle up to 16 players for control of the oceans! Non-stop conquest-style battles push the envelope of onscreen effects and combat action and boast some of the most stunning graphics ever seen in an Xbox LIVE® Arcade title.

Seems like a great multi-player games for Xbox Live users. From what I read about this game, the controls are simple and has quite an incredible next-gen graphics for the visual underwater environment. Sounds like a good game to me. But this type of game is not my kettle of fish, I prefer role paying games like Grand Theft Auto, Prince or Persia etc.

Another great deal for hungry gamers. I know lot of people are trying to buy new games and Call of Duty is one of the best first person shooter with a great story line and gameplay. I have played the first and second part of this series and I loved it. It feels very real playing a Call of Duty or even Medal of Honor series, both have a similar story (World War II) but they are quite different in subtle ways. Well when a new game is released, it is very hard to get a hand on one as it is quickly sold out. Well you can get one for your Christmas or present it as a gift. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare can be purchased for $32.99 at Gogamer.com . Regular price of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is $49.99 but now you can buy it for $32.99 .

Along with the game, you can also purchase a Pistol Mouse FPS Controller for enhanced game play experience while playing a First Person Shooter like a Call of Duty series. A Pistol Mouse FPS Controller used to cost $19.90 but now you can purchase it for just $4.90 which is a huge discount. Check out the Pistol Mouse FPS Controller at the same store, Gogamer.com at this price. You can purchase it for $4.90 at just Gogamer, other site’s don’t have a huge discount on this product.

Since the introduction of computers and consoles to the general public, there has been a steady rise in gamer. I used to play a lot of games on a 16 bit console. I was specially fond of Street fighter. Compared to graphics on those systems, the games now a days has moved up to quite a huge distance. Amongst the new games, my favorite one has to be Prince of Persia series. Now gamer can turn their hobby into a career.

Gamers are treated like celebrities in Korea and they are even planning on building a gamer’s city which will be dedicated to games, sounds crazy doesn’t it, well its true.

Prince of Persia, one of my favorite computer games of all times. I used to play the two dimensional Prince of Persia game (when computer was a brand new thing), one of the first RPG game to be created for a Computer. I was hooked to Prince of Persia for about two months playing day and night till I completed the game. I played Prince of Persia-Warrior Within till I completed it. It was the best gaming experience I had. A must play game for any gaming enthusiasts.
