Greetings, Arsians! Courtesy of our friends at TechBargains, we have another round of deals to share. Today’s list is headlined by a pair of deals on high-profile video games that launched toward the end of 2018, as both Red Dead Redemption 2 and Marvel’s Spider-Man are currently down to $40. In both cases, that’s a 33% discount.

While Spider-Man has hit this price a couple times in the past, this is as cheap as we’ve seen Red Dead 2 at a major retailer since launch. Note that both deals here apply to the physical copies of the game, so you won’t be able to play either immediately upon purchasing, but the savings should make the wait worthwhile.

No video game is objectively great, but for what it’s worth, we liked Spider-Man and Red Dead 2 enough to include both in our best games of 2018 list a couple months ago. You should read our reviews for each game for a more in-depth look, but if you want the Dealmaster’s ultra-short take: Red Dead 2, while paced a bit slowly and hamstrung by a few of Rockstar’s most outdated game conventions, is still as gorgeous, staggeringly detailed, and engrossing as you’d expect from the GTA maker. Spider-Man, meanwhile, is light on narrative substance but as gratifying to play as any action game in recent memory. It’s like playing a Marvel movie.

Thus concludes today’s edition of The Dealmaster Review Corner. If you don’t need something new to play, we also have deals on iPads, Bluetooth headphones and speakers, Amazon devices, and much more. Have a look for yourself below.
