If you’re looking for exercise, cool tunes and group fun, look no further than the Just Dance series. You’ll step, hop and bounce along to new and old hits from the likes of Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake and Meghan Trainor. And once you’ve sweated through the 40 included tracks, you can sign up for Just Dance Unlimited for access to hundreds more songs, spanning genres from all over the world (and also from past games). The first month is free and you can cancel anytime. As for the game itself, it'll normally run you $50, but right now it's almost a whopping 50 percent off — just $26.
This title has over 4,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, including parents and grandparents who call it "fun for the whole family and a good cardio workout" and "so much fun even for my toddlers." One even says "I am notorious for demanding a wiggle break when the kids are having an epic gaming session. Now, I know that they have no excuses to not wiggle."
Do you like exploring expansive worlds, meeting strange and wonderful creatures and getting sucked in by a compelling story? Then Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is the game for you. It combines the charming animation style of Miyazaki movies like My Neighbor Totoro with the thrilling adventure you'd expect from a Zelda title, and right now it's only $25 at Walmart — a sweet 50 percent off.
Players love Ni No Kuni, with one enthusiastic reviewer calling it "honestly the best game I've ever played. ... I'm almost done with it now, and I truly loved all the scenes it had."
It's a great way to spend the rest of your February!
Vincent is a bit of a playboy, but maybe he’s getting too old for that… at least, that’s what his girlfriend Katherine thinks. But then he meets the young, playful Catherine. And what about the cute Rin, also known as Qatherine? Just when you think Vincent has enough trouble juggling three women, he keeps having these mysterious dreams where he must climb a giant puzzle of blocks, and failure has deadly consequences! This stellar remake of the PlayStation 3 title has action, romance and even a dash of horror — and right now you can snag it for only $26 at Amazon!
Shoppers love this game, with one saying they "played the first one and loved it so I wanted to buy this one too. It’s very similar to the first (which is how it’s supposed to be) but it’s still new and different. Really cool puzzle/strategy game that allows you to make choices through the game. Definitely recommend." You don't need to have played the original, either; this game has everything from that game and more!
There’s a lot you didn’t learn about the American Revolution in school. You certainly didn’t read about a secret society pulling the strings and a band of assassins trying to stop them. That's what makes this historically based game so much fun — the way it plays with real-life figures and events. This package gives you two thrilling colonial adventures: the remastered version of Assassin’s Creed III, which originally came out on the PlayStation 3, and Liberation, a title that came out on the handheld Vita featuring a female assassin and set in New Orleans. It may not be the most accurate version of events, but it’s certainly the most fun! Save 50 percent off the retail price right now!
Maybe you'd like to skip all things romantic this month. Well, this might sound a little crazy, but this role-playing game based on the crude cartoon from Comedy Central is actually really good. The city of South Park is fun to explore, the dialogue is razor-sharp and there are great items to discover. The combat is also awesome. This package even includes the first game, The Stick of Truth, as a bonus! We can't recommend South Park: The Fractured But Whole enough, and right now you can give it a shot for only $20.
Shoppers agree, with one saying "If you like the show, you'll love the game. All the characters from the show coming together for a hilarious game that's just a good time." But even if you aren't the biggest fan, The Fractured But Whole also "challenges your problem solving and analyzing skills," and "it's funny and there's so much to do!"
If you like school and relationship drama, then Three Houses is the game for you. The tactical game features swords and magic, and it puts you in control of the story. You can't help but be invested in the characters' fates, as one player explained: "This game is wholesome and gets you EXTREMELY involved with the characters of the house you choose. It’s delightful. At the same time, the stakes are higher than ever, as you form a real attachment to your characters. The game is also heartbreaking." Better buy some tissues!
