Portal 2 Is Amazon’s Deal of the Day

Didn’t find what you were looking for in Amazon’s Video Games Clearance sale yesterday? Perhaps you wanted something a little newer than 3D Dot Game Heroes and Dead Rising 2. If you’re looking to snag some new games at reduced prices, Amazon has you covered.

Portal 2, which launched less than two weeks ago to rave reviews, has been marked down as Amazon’s Deal of the Day title. If you have yet to grab Valve’s latest, be sure to pick it up today on Amazon for $34.99 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation or $29.99 on PC. That’s $25 and $20 off, respectively–a steal considering how awesome the game is.

If you’re looking for something a little more violent or you’re hoping to get your brawl on, you may be interested to know that Amazon is also lowering the price on Mortal Kombat, which launched for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 a couple weeks ago. Mortal Kombat is a great 2D fighter with tons of stellar action, over-the-top gore, and rock solid gameplay. As far as fighters, you can’t go wrong with the latest entry in the long-running fighting game franchise. The game is currently being offered for $39.99, which means you save $20.

If you’re a gamer who likes to save money, be sure to check out all of Amazon’s current deals. This weekend is rife with some impressive budget prices, and money-conscious gamers should definitely see if there’s anything they like. And because Portal 2 and Mortal Kombat are two of the hottest new titles to hit retailers, it’s hard not to recommend them.
