With the post-Christmas sales still in force around the UK, gamers now have a wide variety of quality titles at their disposal. Many stores offer discounts on a range of titles as well as consoles at this time of year, giving gamers the opportunity to check out new titles, purchase newer versions of their consoles, as well as use their old games in order to help get some money off their purchases.
Video games systems are always big sellers around the Christmas period, with some of the biggest sellers including the WiiFit balance board, as well as the Plus attachments to increase controller sensitivity on titles such as Wii Sports.
2010 is going to be a big year for big titles – including sequels to popular titles including Mass Effect, God Of War and Super Mario Galaxy. There are also a number of highly anticipated titles such as Final Fantasy XIII, BioShock 2 and Gran Turismo 5 that gamers have been eager to get their teeth into.
And with many more titles including options to play online with others around the world, many will also be considering their internet connections in order to get the speed and reliability needed to help enhance their online experience.
When shopping for games consoles, comparison services such as Moneysupermarket can be a useful tool to help you find the best deal. If you’re doing your console shopping online, be wary of the site that you’re purchasing from, as Felicity King-Evans, an expert at Moneysupermarket explains:
“When you’re shopping online, try to find websites and brands that you can trust. If you use a high-profile website, you’re less likely to receive fakes or low-qualify presents and you can also be confident you can return unsatisfactory gifts. Of course, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use smaller retailers – sometimes they will carry the best bargains, especially if you’re using online auction sites.”
With 2010 promising to be a big year for the world of video gaming, there are plenty of titles coming up on all platforms and for all consoles, providing a wide variety of choice – whatever your console of choice.
