Lewie’s Weekly Deals – Tron Evolution, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Dead Rising 2 for £20

deadrising29

Are you hideously chemically addicted to video games? I know I am. In the last week I’ve spent over 200 hours gaming. If I ever run out of games to play, I turn into a giant fire breathing dinosaur, and go on a mega-rampage, destroying cities and killing thousands.

Luckily, that hasn’t happened for a while, because I’ve been able to keep myself stocked up on cheap games just like these ones you’re about to see after the break. Remember to visit SavyGamer.co.uk for updates on cheap games throughout the week.
