    It's for an eight year old boy. Game quality is not that important to him yet as proven by Skylanders and numerous awful Ben 10 games.

    lego city undercover or lego batman could be a better option. and super mario is always a good choice. also sonic & all stars racing is quite good too and great fun for both of ye to play. nintendo land is great fun for all ages. had great fun with my brother with that and we are both old enough to have great memories of playing the nes

    Zombi U now £18.36 on Amazon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    I think a game like that deserves to be bought on Zavvi - start ratcheting up the tension before it's even delivered! Costs you an extra quid (it's 19.99 at the mo, I think) but that's the price of real-life metagaming!

    Incidentally, either they or the Hut (and really, what's the difference?) have Injustice (ie Mortal KomBatman) for £24 I think at the moment.

    At that price, I'd be interested but in reality, I didn't really get the demo. That bit where you had to quite literally fumble in the dark while zombies just picked you off was actually annoying. For anyone who has the game, was there much of that later on?

    Felt bad for my Wii U there (as it hasnt been used since I finished Sonic Racer a few months back) and ordered Batman AC on Amazon for £15.

    Anyone played this and what did you make of it on the Wii U?

    Have it ages and still haven't finished all of it. Loads of content, brilliant fights and just plain fun to stalk bad guys. Highly recommended!

    Assassin's Creed 3 is £17.49 on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/UBI-Soft-Assassins-Creed-Nintendo/dp/B00844QLI4/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_t_1_3HWR

    Can anyone recommend AC3? Never played any of them.

    It's pretty good, you might like it more than I did having never played one as a bit of brand fatigue had set in with me. I'd probably put it above 1 and Revelations but below 2 and Brotherhood. It's enjoyable, but it takes a good while to get going (seriously, what is essentially the tutorial is about 8 hours long) and the wilderness can feel a bit empty sometimes. I didn't feel the setting was as good as previous games either. When it gets going though it can be very good and the Naval sections were a very good addition. I'd definitely recommend it at that price.

    And I probably will get Black Flag at some stage, so it didn't put me off the series.

    it was £13 all week, it went up this morning, kept meaning to mention it but my phone screen has gone mad so I gave up after 3 attempts

    Not saying don't buy it, just sayin'.....

    Oh BTW, Injustice is out of stock but only £19.99, which seems like a good deal.

    Anybody know cheapest place to get Fifa 13? Game.co.cuk have it for £12 but they're out of stock, Amazon have it for £18.

    Anywhere else around that price?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 613 ✭✭✭Radiosonde


    Basic pack now more expensive on amazonuk than premium! Would have gone for basic at the low price but missed it. Got a premium pack.

    No - over on the right under "more buying choices" Amazon have it for £19, but it says "Usually dispatched within 12 to 13 days."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    If you've been holding off on Batman because £13 is just too damned much, there's a "fulfilled by Amazon" (ie SuperSaver-eligible) option for £12.50.

    Need something to tip you into Super Saver territory? Tekken 2 Tag Tournament can be had for £15. Job done!

    (Tekken is a slow shipper though - 10-14 days I think)

    It's actually back in stock now and still at £19


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    Assassin's Creed back down to £13.90, Tekken holding at £15, fifa down to £12 on Amazon.

    Also Deus ex preorder £23.99 which seems like a good deal, assuming they aren't making a hash of the port

    You Maybe able to get this in Gamestop in the €9.99 deal, you trade two games from a list in store,they don't have to be two Wii U games and pay €9.99 to get it,I know it is available on PS3 and Xbox this way,so ask if you are near a gamestop store any time soon, I will check myself if I get a chance.

    It's 9.99 now? Didn't it used to be €3 ?

    http://www.ie.wowhd.com/games/pikmin-3-nintendo-wii-u/dp/33162465/61171959
    Pikmin 3 €34.39

    http://www.ie.wowhd.com/games/new-super-luigi-u-nintendo-wii-u/dp/33162463/58335391
    New Super Luigi U €28.79

    Be advised of two things when ordering from wowhd (used to be cdwow):
    1. They ship from asia, and you have a medium-to-high risk of being caught for excise duty. (would add about a fiver)
    2. They are incredibly slow to ship, expect at least 1 or 2 weeks of waiting.

    Oh, also just noticed my order from last night for pikmin is showing it's on back-order, so might be an extended wait.

    That 20% off on WowHD is until the end of the month I think. And "Irish Opinions" give out WowHD vouchers in denominations of €10, so if you fancy doing a whole bunch of surveys in the next week or so you could shave a few quid off that Pikmin price :)

    In a similar vein for people who want games cheap, not fast, Resident Evil Revelations for WiiU is £18.99 on Amazon but out of stock (you may need to click on the "X new and used" offers thing and select Amazon Prime as your supplier, otherwise I think it defaults to £23.99 from a fulfilled by... partner. Give 'em your money now, get delivery whenever they can be arsed to stock it, and in the mean time keep playing Batman which is worth far more than the £12.50 it cost me. Result!
    (lowest price is 17.99 and Camel^3 suggests it might be on it's way back up to the mid-late £20s)

    Smyths have Need For Speed for €34.99 or did at the weekend in Liffey Valley. Amazon have it at £37.99 so seems like a pretty good deal. It said "Weekly Deal" so may not be on any more or for much longer if it is...
