Deals & Bargins, PS2, Test Drive Mark Dell31 Jul 2007 07:44 pm

Today only Amazon.com are selling Test Drive Unlimited for the Playstation 2 for $25.00, reduced from $39.95 with free shipping.

TDU for the 360 is one of my favorite racing games, sadly the PS2 version looses a little in translation. If you can’t get hold of the 360 version then take what you can get, for $25 it’s worth it.

Deals & Bargins, PS3, Fantastic 4 Mark Dell24 Jul 2007 05:54 am

Today only Amazon.com are selling Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer for the Playstation 3 for $29.99, reduced from $59.99 with free shipping.

From the reviews I’d say this game was garbage, fortunately at 50% off it’s pretty cheap garbage

Deals & Bargins, PS3, Pirates Mark Dell20 Jul 2007 07:02 am

Today only Amazon.com are selling Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End for the Playstation 3 for $29.99, reduced from $39.99 with free shipping.

A pretty sweet deal for a 2 month old PS3 game, although the reviews of this game were less than great, espically when compared to Ninja Gaiden, because everyone knows any Ninja can beat a Pirate!

Welcome New Staff, Site News Hired.Geek16 Jul 2007 12:20 pm

Last week saw the addition of a new member to our family and again today yet another new member joins the Around the Controller Network.  While not quite as nice to look at as our last edition, and definitely has more facial hair, Ryan Williams is joining our family of bloggers (and hopefully in the future podcasters).  Ryan is the guy that is finally going to give Mark a run for his money on who has the highest GamerScore.  I tried to my hardest (with the help of Ryan) catch up to Mark, but realized that is a hopeless battle.  In the time I can amass 500 GamerScore points Mark will get 2000 more.  But hey at least I am not in last place like Charlie!  Ryan also plays his Nintendo DS, Sony PSP, Sony PS2, and tells me that he is eyeing that big shiny box called the PS3.  Ryan and I have played through Gears of War on Hardcore and Insane mode together.  I know first hand that Ryan is a Tiger Wood’s golf fan as he has handed me a good beating in that game more then once.  Currently we are working through Rainbow Six: Vegas together.  I am looking forward to reading Ryan’s thoughts about all that is going on in the world of gaming, and to quote Jennifer last week “Welcome to Geekdom!”

Deals & Bargins, PS3, Resistance Mark Dell16 Jul 2007 07:18 am

Today only Amazon.com are selling Resistance: Fall Of Man for the Playstation 3 for $39.99, reduced from $59.99 with free shipping.

* FPS fans with the PS3 should already own this great shooter, $40 for a new copy of this game is a great deal.

The Around the Controller Network family has another new member, Jennifer Baker. Jennifer otherwise known as techkitten on twitter is going to give her thoughts and views on the gaming. I am very excited to balance out all this Testosterone with a little Estrogen, and hear what the lady gamers of the world think about what is happening in the world of gaming. Jennifer some how got her hands on the almost impossible to find Nintendo Wii so she will be letting us know what she thinks about the Wii, Wii Games, Virtual Console, and all that is Nintendo. She also has an XBox version one and a Playstation 2 so I would bet she will chime in on some of those discussions also. There is also talk about an XBox 360 in her future…..so some day we can all play on LIVE together. And maybe if we are all really nice she will agree to join our Podcasts when we get them going.

Welcome Jennifer

Today only Amazon.com are selling College Hoops 2K7 for the Playstation 3 for $26.99, reduced from $39.99 with free shipping.

  • Finally the first PS3 game I’ve seen on DOTD, and it’s a great PS3 basketball game to boot!

Today only Amazon.com are selling MLB 07 The Show for the Playstation 2 for $25.00, reduced from $39.99 with free shipping.

A Great PS2 baseball game, perhaps the best to come out on the PS2. Perhaps one day we’ll start seeing some PS3 games on DOTD

Today only Amazon.com are selling Sony Playstation 2 8MB Memory Card (Black) for the Playstation 2 for $14.99, reduced from $24.99 with free shipping if you add another $10.01 to your cart

Still kickin’ it old skool with the PS2? Games are cheap aye? I always find myself with more games than I have the storage space to hold ‘em, so grabbing one of these for a few $ might save me a little hassle
