Friday Frugal Findings - 6th May 2011

As the Games industry starts to prepare for its summer hibernation like some reverse Techno-Bear, we here at Reaper Towers continue in our crusade to find you the best deals week by week.

L.A. Noire; PS3/Xbox 360 at Amazon UK
£34.99/$57.50/39.60 Euro

This title has had us champing at the bit since it was announced by Rockstar all the way back in 2004 and now with the release only two weeks away, we’ve been hunting down some of the best pre order prices. For those not in the know, L.A. Noire is in the same vein as the classic Noire movies of the 1940’s such as Double Indemnity and The Maltese Falcon. I for one will be playing this wearing a Trilby and Spats while calling everyone Doll-Face. If we find a better deal for you before release date, we’ll bring you that next week.




Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood - Da Vinci Edition; Xbox 360 at Amazon UK
£22.98/$37.74/26.00 Euro

The Borgia, what an odd lot, murder, warmongering, adultery and incest, all before breakfast. A stout lot the Mediterranean people, must be due to the diet, I need a caffeine transfusion before I can make it to the shower. In the continuation of the Assassin’s Creed saga we once again tackle those fiendish Templars, this time in Rome. This package also includes a new single player story, following the disappearance of the worlds most famous painter of women in a post coital state, as well as some new multiplayer options.








Stalker - Radioactive Edition; PC at Gamestation
£10.99/$18.08/12.45 Euro

One of the very few shooters that has not had a multiplatform release, but certainly deserves a look from all you console players. Set in the ruins of Chernobyl known as “The Zone” after a second nuclear disaster, this edition includes the original title and its follow up, meaning more mutants for your moola.











Homefront; Xbox 360 at Gamestation
£24.99/$40.97/28.48 Euro

Joe McCarthy’s worst nightmare comes true in this game, in the year 2027 The Greater Korean Republic invade the USA after a global conflict for the worlds dwindling resources. An FPS with a gripping storyline from John Milius of Red Dawn and Apocalypse Now fame, that places you in the heart of an alien America as you fight using guerrilla tactics to take back the Home of the Brave and the Land of the Free.









Lego Ninjago; Nintendo DS at Amazon UK
£19.46/$31.97/22.03 Euro

Ninjas and Lego, you know that’s cool. Lego also makes a cracking weapon incidentally, throw some bricks on the floor and your enemies are doomed. Although that does rely on them not wearing shoes.
