I’m No Daddy Warbucks…

Okay, this post is for all you broke, penniless, spindle toting gamers like me who can barely afford to pay attention.

We here at Loot Ninja are all poor, working stiffs, thanks mostly to our wives and/or girlfriends spending all our money on useless random crap, like “furniture” and “the water bill”. This does not include Scuba, because he’s a fancy man and loves to sit naked on his imported Scandinavian furniture, while sipping expensive wine and nibbling cheese cubes.

Anyways, we will be bringing back the old “Broke Bastard Alerts”, and trying to polish that turd up a little more. We like to think of ourselves as the oil speculators of the gaming market. Rest assured, when the prices drop, we are ALL over it.

Here’s the deals for this go round.

  • DLC titles Brain Challenge, Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting, and 3D Ultra MiniGolf Adventures are now available at 400 Microsoft Points each on XBLA.
  • Amazon.com this week price cut Xbox Live Gold Card SKU’s by 20%, including the Xbox Live 3-month Gold Card at $15.99, and the Xbox Live 12-month Gold Card at $39.99

So get ‘em while the gettin’s good.

As usual, user submissions are welcome, so if you see a great deal on anything gaming related, send it our way and we’ll post it up.

How to Keep Gaming Through the Recession

Banks are failing.  Homes are being repossessed.  Prices are rising, inflation is growing, the economy is shrinking and the end result is a lot of people are losing their jobs and lifestyles.  Life is miserable… but not when I’m in good old Liberty City… well it’s not miserable for me, but it is miserable for the citizens of Liberty City as I breathe a fiery napalm death upon them.

Video games are an escape from reality for some; but why you ask? I’ll tell you why, it’s because reality blows.  Read that first line again, same as the headlines on Google News.
