When it comes to PlayStation exclusive shooters, SOCOM: Confrontation wasn't the best, but who can pass up an opportunity to shoot down virtual bad guys for only $2? On a massive clearance this week, you can get the game (stand-alone only, no Sharpshooter Move controller here) at Gamestop for really cheap.

Retailer: Gamestop

Platforms: Nintendo 3DS

Bored and need something to play on your 3DS? Kingdom Hearts 3D is a good place to start. Not only does it have at least half the charm of its PS2 brothers, but it's also the only chance you're going to get to play in Micke's magical kingdom for at least a little while.

$30 off Golden Sun: Dark Dawn ($9.99)

Retailer: Gamestop

Platforms: Nintendo DS

Link: http://bit.ly/11gAa8s 

Most of the time we feature new games on sale here, but Golden Sun: Dark Dawn is just about everything you could want from a classic JRPG and the fact it's a DS game shouldn't get you down. For $10 it's a good title to own for a long airplane ride or boring family function.

$10 off MLB 13: The Show ($49.99)

Retailer: Best Buy

Platforms: PlayStation 3

Take me out to the ball game, take me out with the crowd!

Yay, America's past time is now in video game form! So, you can play all you like without ever having to guy outside. Well, you'll have to go outside to buy the game, but that's a small price to pay for not having to go outside so much after.

75% off Sine Mora ($2.49)

Retailer: Gamefly

Platforms: PC

If the last time you played a shoot-em-up ala Gradius was when Gradius was actually popular, you owe it to the genre to skip your morning coffee and use the savings to grab Sine Mora. In addition to being a really challenging SHMUP, the game is gorgeous.

$10 off StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm ($39.99)

Retailer: Fry's

Platforms: PC

Link: http://bit.ly/ZtnI4O 

Wings of Liberty was a nice start to StarCraft 2, but those who wanted to play as the Zerg finally get a chance to with Heart of the Swarm. Most of the multiplayer hasn't changed, but if you're up for another singleplayer campaign - this time centering on Kerrigan and her empire - then it's worth taking a look.

$20 off World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria ($19.99)

Retailer: Fry's

Platforms: PC

Link: http://bit.ly/ZWKHV9 

I'm starting to get the sneaking suspicion that Blizzard is slowly converting World of Warcraft into a playground for furries with their Cataclysm expansion catering to wolf-fans and now Mists of Pandaria offering the chance to play as a cutesy panda bear. Still, the newest expansion offers more content than you can wag a tail at and if you haven't grabbed it yet, Fry's is offering your gateway drug to furry conventions the world over for $20 off this week.

75% off Hotline Miami ($4.99)

Retailer: Gamefly

Platforms: PC

Listen to this: http://bit.ly/Rlt175 

Now that you're hooked on Hotline Miami's killer soundtrack, you're going to want to play it because it's full of killing and murder and death and fun. Seriously, this is one of the fastest-paced games released in years.

$20 off Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch ($39.99)

Retailer: Amazon

Platforms: PlayStation 3

Link: http://amzn.to/13jaNFR 

If you haven't heard about Ni No Kuni, I can't say I blame you, but I do... The game's art has been done by Studio Ghibli, the animation house behind cult-classic anime features like Porco Rosso, Kiki's Delivery Surface, and My Neighbor Totoro. Their style comes through perfectly.

$50 off God of War: Ascension Legacy PS3 Bundle ($299.99)

Retailer: Best Buy

Platforms: PlayStation 3

Link: http://bit.ly/XRoYDP 

With the PS4 officially announced, it's maybe a little bit late getting into the PS3, but if you're in the market the God of War Legacy bundle has just had a $50 drop. It comes with all six God of War games, a red PS3 slim with a 500GB hard drive, and a 30 day trial of PlayStation Plus.
