We Got It 4 Cheap: 38 Wii sales at Amazon
The thrifty kids at Cheap Ass Gamers have compiled a list of Wii games currently on sale at Amazon, digging up almost 40 different deals. Of course, most of them are junk -- pet sim shovelware and titles based on movie licenses -- but there are a few marked down that you'll likely find interest in: Alien Syndrome - $19.99 ($29.99) Battalion Wars 2 - $23.31 ($49.99), read our review Bust A Move Bash - $29.99 ($39.99) Nights: Journey of Dreams - $29.99 ($49.99) Nitrobike - $19.99 ($29.99) No More Heroes - $33.99 ($49.99), read our review Soul Calibur: Legends - $18.90 ($39.99) Sonic and the Secret Rings - $20.99 ($29.99) We can't guarantee how long these bargains will last, so jump on them now while you can, or you'll end up having to settle for Chicken Shoot. Bring your cart past the post break for the full tally of discounted games.

Brawl, so we'll let you be the judge.

Read on for our top ten list of awesome 2008 games that you totally forgot about!
