AU Deals: Pay Low Coins for Super Mario and Reduced Rupees for a Zelda, Hot Humble Bundles, and More! - IGN

This week of brilliant gaming bargains continues, and, as always, it's my absolute pleasure to lead you to a great game worth buying for way less. Personally, I'd gravitate towards that "Masters of RPG" Humble Bundle for sheer hours-per-dollar value. I also honestly think Indy and the Great Circle is the rarest of museum pieces -- a game actually worth paying full price for (so getting it for less is a no-brainer). Failing that, just score Suicide Squad for 19 bucks. Surprisingly ok with mates (but only at that price).

In retro news, it's been 25 years since I prepared for my finest hour in Medal of Honor, a pivotal PlayStation FPS that's worthy of salute. After reinvigorating WWII in popular culture with Saving Private Ryan, Spielberg and DreamWorks Interactive used that beachhead to conceive, produce, and write a more kid gloves companion piece game. End result: they triggered a decades-long landslide of shooters themed on virtually every major battle undertaken by The Greatest Generation (not to mention the unintended creation of the rival Call of Duty franchise). Personally, I adored the Nazi-blasting, disguise-wearing OSS saboteur antics of MoH. Few games of the era looked, felt, and sounded this cinematic. A true classic.

This holiday season, I'm doing something different with the LEGO section. In Mathew Manor, my sons and I are racing LEGO Advent Calendars -- we open our respective ones daily and compare the mini-prizes for "Coolness" and "Actual Xmas-ness". Winner gets extra eggnog.

If you're also feeling festive, here are the cheapest prices for the three calendars we're using. Or just live vicariously through us.
