Thrifty (and, if you've yet to play either of these, add negligent to this list of adjectives) gamers take note: Amazon's offering two great Xbox 360 games at a pretty steep discount. Both Mass Effect and Gears of War are only $35 (that's down from $60, people!) just for today; keep in mind, both of these games were amongst Joystiq's favorites in their respective release years.

Now, if you want our advice, we're gonna say to hold off on Gears of War – what with the two-disc special edition being released later this month for just $40. Don't care about all that "special" crap, just want to shoot bug monsters in the face? Then place your order, friend. We like your style.

Well, I'd be all over this if I didn't already have both games since their respective launches  

Mass Effect,,,,,,great

but GEOW....1 .5 years old...seriously who is buying it now

When are you gonna do the Vg Chartz Bestseller list ioi...??

hopefully soon..lol

Hey good stuff. I need to check out Amazon also.

Mass Effect..Mass Effect...I will buy eventually, but Gears of War needs to be bought ASAP!!!

And I think I will wait for that Special Edition Gears of War that they are about to release in a couple of days, months or whenever the release date is.

I just noticed how eerily similar the ME and Gears cases are.

-Main hero with a pissed look on his face in the front.
-A couple of allies/enemies standing behind him engaged in something or another.
-Monotone grey, large-font title at the top
-Evil all over the background (Saren's face in ME, Fire and destruction in Gears)

Creepy...

Yah. Don't buy Gears until the special edition if you are waiting. It's only $40 and has extra stuff.

But Gears Redux is coming out soon.
