Black Friday Chopping List: Video Games
Black Friday is a sickness, and you should be all ashamed to be taking a part in it, or for knowing someone who is. Now with that said, let’s see how much extra debt this year has in store for us. If you don’t max out two of your credit cards, you aren’t trying hard enough. I really hope Best Buy is selling an HDTV that’s big and cheap enough for me to worthy of blindly trampling an elderly couple so I can be the first to get one.

Video Game Deals
First up are some video game deals you should really considering checking out.
Looking for a cheap co-op game you can play over the holidays? Assuming you own a PlayStation, I recommend stopping by the PlayStation Store by Dec 1 to take advantage of their epic co-op themed sale. The discounts are solid, but they’re even solid-er (deal with it) if you’re a PS Plus subscriber. Drop $100 and you’ll get $15 back.
The PlayStation Store’s Flash Sales are also in full effect, you can follow those right here.
Sony fans aren’t the only ones who are getting some love. Microsoft is holding their own sale on the Xbox Live store, also from now until Dec 1. We have The Evil Within and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor for $29.99, Telltale’s The Walking Dead: The Game Season One and Two bundle for $24.99, or you can grab each season individually for $14.99.
From now until Dec 2, Steam’s Exploration Sale currently has Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor for $34.99, The Evil Within for $20.39, Left 4 Dead 2 for $9.99, DayZ for $29.74, The Forest for $12.74, Alien: Isolation for $37.49, Five Nights at Freddy’s for $2.49, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 for $6.39, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter for $15.99, Dead Island for $9.99, Telltale’s The Walking Dead: The Game Season Two for $16.74, along with a couple thousand more.
It’s also worth mentioning that Amazon is offering sales on two of the year’s biggest horror releases, The Evil Within (PS4, Xbox One) for $29.99 and Alien: Isolation (PS4, Xbox One) for $29.99 (PS4)/$24.99 (Xbox One), and while Walmart’s offering isn’t quite as enticing, we still have The Evil Within and Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil Edition, among others, for $35 each.
Retailer juggernaut GameStop has a selection of titles to choose from with discounts reaching up to 50%.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
