PSA: Skyward Sword is $20 at Target until this Saturday
You know how Nintendo is known for never reducing the price of their first-party titles until years later under a re-release line of games? Well, this week is one of those extremely rare cases where a retailer is significantly reducing the price of a Nintendo game, and a huge one at that. All week until this coming Saturday, 2/2/2013, you can nab The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for only $19.99 (note: it looks like this is in-store only). There's also good word out there that a ton of the copies still have the "limited" Symphony of the Goddesses CD that was packaged in as a short run of the original copies of the game. If you've never owned a Wii, and just got yourself a Wii U recently, I would not only recommend you buy Skyward Sword, but that you should go out and freaking buy it this very second (in addition to considering these fine Wii titles as well). Zelda Skyward Sword $19.99 at all Targets until 2/2 [Cheap Ass Gamer] Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.

11:30 AM on 06.13.2013 Review: State of DecayMy initial impression of Undead Labs' State of Decay was not exactly forgiving. Significant screen-tearing, a choppy frame rate, an intro that places me directly into button mashing combat without context, the game's lurch of...
