Amazon

We’re going to take a look at the list of top video game sales from Amazon. This list doesn’t count the systems, accessories, or downloadables. I always found it weird that Amazon had a section of “Top Video Games” and they count accessories and the like. I’ve compiled the top 25 games so you don’t have to. There’s some analysis after the jump.

1.Wii Fit - Wii

2.Mario Kart Wii with Wii Wheel - Wii

3.Pokemon Platinum - DS

4.Wii Sports Resort (Pre-Order) - Wii

5.Wii Play with Wii Remote - Wii

6.My Fitness Coach - Wii

7.Professor Layton and the Curious Village - DS

8.Killzone 2 - PS3

9.Mario Kart DS - DS

10.Shaun White Snowboarding - Wii

Taking a look around online, I found some good products on Amazon this week for each of the systems.

PS2:
Katamari Damacy - $9.97 - I love Katamari Damacy and although there have been later games, the whole concept is still the same. I don’t really think there was too much evolution in the game, but the original was the groundbreaker.

Wii:

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 - $22.50 - Now this is a game that’s just fun. If you’re in need for a good party game, look no further.

PS3:

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots - $39.99 - I got this game back when they had the PS3 bundle and I played it all the way through. The game was riveting and although I’m not huge on action/adventure games MGS4 was captivating.

Xbox360:

Assassin’s Creed - $23.99 - I know a sequel has come out, but if you haven’t gotten into the game definitely take a look. It didn’t hit the Platinum/Greatest hits status for nothing.

DS:

Kirby Super Star Ultra - $26.99 - I know that the price change isn’t much, but if I had to pick a definite 2-D Kirby game, this one is it. The Super Nintendo version was a classic and the little touches added to the DS version fills out the game. Some people may think that the game is a little short, but the mini-games keeps this one fresh.

The movie that Blu-ray owners have been waiting for is set for release on September 2 - and Amazon have opened pre-orders at a modest $27.95.

Today’s deal of the day at Amazon is 33% off Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Remember - the US dollar is weak, and PlayStation 3 games work on consoles from any region.

Amazon’s deal of the day knocks 39% off the $69.99 MSRP for the Eye of Judgment bundle, bringing it to a manageable $42.99. Remember the PlayStation Eye can be also be used as a microphone for voice communication in games, which is a must for any strategic shooter.

According to Amazon UK, Sony’s Play TV add-on for the PlayStation 3 has an expected release date of July 31, and will be available for £59.99. Pre-orders are now open, for those who feel the need.

Amazon’s Gold Box Deal of the Day will see five yet-to-be-named games for the Nintendo DS heavily discounted, starting April 25 at 12:01 AM PST and finishing when stocks run dry (and they surely will).

Fancy grabbing Super Paper Mario for thirty bucks? Head over to Amazon - it’s the current Gold Box deal of the day. Of course, that means you’d better be quick…

Amazon is now selling Jam Sessions for the budget-friendly price of $19.99 - so go and prove to the world you don’t have an R4 living in your DS.

Some of you might remember when Amazon nearly died last year, trying to sell an Xbox 360 on Thanksgiving day for $100 - and they’re at it again. It’s a little different this year, as there will be six rounds of products that you will get to vote on for each round. If the product you choose wins the winning bid you could be randomly chosen to receive the offer. The first round is between a Wii for $79, a 40gb PlayStation 3 for $139, or an Xbox 360 Arcade system for $99. The Wii is currently way out in front at 55%, so it looks like that’s the one that will be making its way into the homes of some very lucky customers.
