So if you were thinking of treating yourself to the handheld, or were planning on giving one as a gift, now would be a good time to buy and get the free game while you do so.

How to get the offer:

1. Buy a PSPgo handheld console between the 18th Feb and the 21st March 2010
2. Create a PSN account, or login to your existing one
3. SCEA will then e-mail a code which is good for one qualifying PlayStation Network account to download the game for the PSPgo system
4. Use your free game code before the end of March 2010

A new PSPgo would probably set you back somewhere in the region of about $250, for example at The Source Canada.

This is an excellent price for a really good game! I just noticed that you can download and buy Psychonauts PC game for only $2 on Steam!!

I don’t know how long the deal is running for, there is no expiry date on the Steam site.

The reviews of this game are really favourable. IGN give it a score of 8.7 out of 10, and Gamespot give it a rating of 8.4 out of 10.

I played this a few years ago when my other half gave it to me as a birthday gift. It is a pretty innovative game, and you can while away the hours!

Well worth a $2 spend!

Beware the cows! Not all milk is enriched!

UPDATE – I bought it last night and played it for an hour before bed. I am able to use my little graphics tablet to draw through my PC. It’s great fun!!

I recently bought a copy of Wii Sports Resort, which came with one of the new wii motionplus accessories. Now, the game is good fun… but there’s only so much fun you can have playing the single player games. To really have a lot more fun, you need a 2nd wii motionplus, so you can play 2 player swordfights and table tennis.

If you’d like to buy one with a spare remote, then Amazon are bringing out a few bundle deals in various colors, which could be handy:

• Click here for the Wii Remote and Wii MotionPlus bundles for $55 @ Amazon Canada

The deal is only $54.99 for an extra controller and motionplus, as well as a wii jacket. You can choose from black, blue or pink! The item is due out next month, but you can pre-order them now if you want to get your order placed in advance.
