For those who didn't jump on the BioShock Infinite bandwagon on launch day, Toys 'R Us is offering 75% off select games when you pick Irrational's new game up from one of their stores. Right now the list includes Midnight Club: Los Angeles, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Borderlands but if you check out the page soon it looks like an error or something has Borderlands 2 for PS3 on that list as well. You may have to spend a few moments debating with your local manager about it, but it's definitely worthwhile if you can grab Borderlands 2 for $15.

There's a boatload of DLC you can buy with the savings, or just pick up the all-inclusive DLC disc that has everything you could ever want.
$20 Off Crysis 3
$20 Off Crysis 3 ($39.99)
Retailer: GameStop
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Link: http://bit.ly/JEkyZa
While the previous 2 Crysis games have been of varying quality, the one consistent factor between them has been their incredible graphics. Crysis 3 keeps this trend going, but also offers a much more solid gameplay experience that seems to have learned from the mistakes of its predecessors. Not as confusing to manage as Crysis 2 and not as aimless as the first, Crysis 3 is definitely worth grabbing if you're interested in seeing the best of what this franchise has to offer.

Are you a glutton for punishment or just hate yourself? Do you love it when a beloved franchise gets made into a crappy tie-in game? Have you so desperately been craving one more zombie game to add to your collection, regardless of how bad it is? If you answered yes to any of these questions, Best Buy's got your ticket then this week with $20 off The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct.

Retailer: Gamestop
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3

When Dead Space 3 was announced to have co-op, quite a few fans were upset at the incusion saying it would dilute the immersive horror experience in the process. Now that the game's out, critics have been heaping praise on it. If you've been holding out for a little bit of a price drop because you're uncertain, Gamestop's got your ticket this week with $20 off the cover price.
$30 Off Far Cry 3
$30 off Far Cry 3 ($29.99)
Retailer: Amazon
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Link: http://amzn.to/Z4knPs
Far Cry 3 made it to the tops of many GOTY lists last year and rightfully so. It's a wonderful expansion of the series' core gameplay with a brand new story that walks the delicate line between reality and madness in a way that you're never quite sure of what's happening. If there's one reason above all to check it out though, it's Vaas, the villain of the game who has a performance unlike anything you've ever seen.
$30 Off Assassin's Creed III
$30 off Assassin's Creed III ($29.99)
Retailer: Amazon
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Link: http://amzn.to/14CsUKu
If you've got a paper on the revolutionary war that needs writing but hate textbooks and love video games, then you may want to pick up Assassin's Creed III while it's half-off at Amazon. It may not be the most historically accurate thing in the world, but stabbing people in the neck is definitely more fun than all that boring reading!
$30 Off Dishonored
$30 off Dishonored ($29.99)
Retailer: Best Buy
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Link: http://bit.ly/16fNGvI
Some people like Dishonored for its unique steampunk-inspired world. Some people like Dishonored for it's remarkable combat system and use of magic powers. Some people like Dishonored because of its ability to walk the line between stealth and action.
I like Dishonored because you can stab a bunch of people in the neck. Seriously, this is the best neck-stabbing game ever made!
20% Off Battlefield 4 Pre-Orders
