If you are looking to pick up an Xbox 360 for yourself or a Christmas present I would suggest doing it early. As in today. Best Buy is offering the Xbox 360 250GB Kinect Bundle that comes with Kinect Adventures, Kinect Sports Season Two and Forza Horizon for only $244.99. That is a whopping 40% off the retail of $399.99.
Also, they have Playstation Vita’s for only $179.99 today only.
Check out the deal here.
DC and Marvel go head to head this week with the release of Batman: Arkham Origins and Lego Marvel Super Heroes. Deus Ex returns in a director’s cut and the music video game genre is not completely dead with Rocksmith 2014.
Next week is when it gets big with Assassin’s Creed IV, Battlefield 4 and WWE 2K14. The holiday games have begun.

The Xbox One may be releasing this November but Microsoft is not resting on its 8 year old workhorse, the Xbox 360. Three new bundles will be available this year for you holiday shoppers. Two will include the Kinect and all three come with the Xbox 350 E console.
Bundle 1- Xbox 360 250GB console, Kinect, Kinect Sports: Season 2, Kinect Adventures, Forza Horizon and one month of Xbox Live Gold- $399.99
Bundle 2- Xbox 360 4GB console, Kinect, Kinect Sports: Season 2, Kinect Adventures and one month of Xbox Live Gold- $299.99
Bundle 3- Xbox 250GB console, Tomb Raider, Halo 4 and one month of Xbox Live Gold- $299.99
If you purchase one of these bundles between October 13th and January 4, 2014, the bundles will come with a $50 discount.
Unless you really want a disappointing experience, I would skip the first two bundles with the Kinect. The Tomb Raider/Halo 4 bundle looks like a great buy for someone who is needing a replacement console or if you have waited 8 years to jump on the 360 train.
Beyond: Two Souls, the next cinematic game from Quantic Dream makes its way to PS3 this week. Starring Ellen Page and Willam Dafoe, it is the developers follow up to Heavy Rain and so far early reviews have not been too kind saying you feel more like a spectator than controlling a character. Of course, decide for yourself if you want to give it a try. Also, Pokémon is back with two new games on 3DS which I am sure will sell all too well.

Another week, another list of games to spend your hard earned money on. This week continues the “year of Luigi”, Madden is back for the 25th time and the Ninja Turtles are back raising shell. Also, Lost Planet 3 is apparently still a thing because it is coming out this week. I know, I am just as amazed as you.
