There’s been some Zavvi reductions that I thought might be of interest.
I still can’t get used to that Zavvi name, by the way - sounds like the name of some celebrity’s child, not the artist formerly known as Virgin Megastores.

Just the other day Microsoft announced that there would be a new XBox 360 replacing the Premium version. It’s the XBox 360 60GB Premium console, which has a hard drive three times the size of the current one.
This is actually officially out on Friday, so if you get your order in now then there’s a good chance that you’ll have it before then. Wonderful.

Powerplay Direct Sale
11 Aug
Oh bloody hell, not another sale!
This time it’s a Powerplay Direct sale that’s tempting your wallet - this is slightly unusual, in that some of the cheap games on offer are quite hard to get elsewhere. Very interesting. Seriously.

GBA
Dynasty Warriors: Advance £5.99
PS2
Moderngroove: Ministry Of Sound Edition £8.99
TT Superbikes: Isle Of Man £12.99
World Series Of Poker 2008: Battle For The Bracelets £12.99

PSP
XBox
Blinx: The Time Sweeper £5.99
Wii
Medal Of Honor: Heroes 2 £15.99
Shadowrun £6.99
11 Aug
So many first-person shooters to choose from, so little time. Shadowrun is yet another one (yes, I can hear you groaning), but is slightly different in that it’s based on the much-loved role-playing game franchise of the same name.
This is a team-based combat title which blends modern weaponry with ancient magic. Interestingly, the online mode lets not only XBox Live players join in, but Windows Live players as well - meaning you could team up with a friend who owns a PC. Great idea.
Instore at Toys R Us you can get this XBox 360 game for £6.99. Makes for an interesting purchase alongside Resident Evil 4!
No More Heroes £14.99
11 Aug
No More Heroes is a great game, even if we were unlucky enough to get the version with all the blood removed from it. I blame Gordon Brown - he gets the blame for everything else, so he may as well take this as well!
You play as Travis Touchdown, a bloke who finds himself being approached by an assassins’ organisation. Prove yourself worthy by defeating ten other bloodthirsty killers to make your way to the top of the assassins’ league.
Game are selling this Wii title for £14.99 - click here for more details.
If you’re spending over £30, be sure to use the voucher contained in the post about Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock. You’ll only get a saving of £3, but it’s better than a kick in the pants.
Resident Evil 4 £6.99
11 Aug
If you’ve player any of the Resident Evil games and not been impressed, then Resident Evil 4 will definitely change your opinion - it’s quite simply one of the best titles ever made.
With graphics that rival any other on the PS2, a gripping storyline, creative and unique boss battles, and a character you genuinely care about, this is pure gaming joy. Good times.
Pop in to your local Toys R Us and pick this up for just £6.99.
Haze £19.99
11 Aug
On the market today you get get very good first person shooters (such as Bioshock), but you can also get very average ones as well. This is sadly the case with PlayStation 3 title Haze.
The team behind Timesplitters made this, so you’d expect something half-decent - what you actually get is something that looks like a bad PS2 game and plays like a car with 2 wheels (i.e. not very well).
Click here if you wish to subject yourself to this game, in exchange for £19.99 at Play.com.
The Megaman series has been a little hit and miss over the years - thankfully, for the next outing (on the Wii) the developers are going back to the classic 2D side-scrolling that we all know and love.
Megaman Starforce: Pegasus is quite different from other titles in the series, as it’s a turn-based battle card game - a little bit like Top Trumps. With robots. And a decent storyline to hold it all together.
To get this DS title for the ridiculously cheap price of £4.99 from Play.com, simply click here.
MediEvil: Resurrection £9.99
10 Aug
MediEvil: Resurrection is based on the same story as the very first MediEvil game - except that this PSP version has different level layouts, new characters, and new mini-games.
You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque - a coward who died in battle, but was proclaimed a hero. Zarok (who was the leader of the dark enemy who killed Sir Dan) has returned after one hundred years, and has unknowingly resurrected our player who mus prove once and for all that he really is a hero.

DS Lite Offers
10 Aug
Previously we featured a few Wii deals that look very tempting - now there’s a couple of DS Lite offers that may very well be of interest. Both will be hard to get at Christmas, so order now to avoid disappointment.
Instore at Toys R Us you can get either a black or white DS Lite, with copies of Disney’s Meet The Robinsons and The Golden Compass, for £99.99.
If this isn’t up your street, for the same price you can get a black, pink, turqouise or white console with a copy of More Brain Training: Dr Kawashima’s How Old Is Your Brain? from HMV - for more information, click here.
