Bumper game discounts this weekend

If you're feeling the pinch of the contracting economy, but you're still looking for your dose of video games, you'll find good news waiting at your local mall today.

Big game discounts

Best Buy stores are holding a huge video games clearance, which includes titles on Xbox 360, Playstations 2 and 3, and Nintendo's Wii and DS. They're all marked down to $9.99 -- which, considering many of them started at $60, is a hefty discount.

Over 100 games are on sale, but if you don't want to wade through the whole list, here's a few recommendations. Xbox 360 owners could do a lot worse than C&C: Red Alert 3, Condemned 2, and Devil May Cry 4. On PS3, Pure, Guitar Hero 3, and Soul Calibur 4 are good choices. On the Wii, the selection's not quite so good, but Samba de Amigo's a great choice if you like off-beat rhythm games.

Just be quick -- we're guessing the good games will go fast.
