Links: Cheap Ass Gamer

Cheap Ass Gamer (CAG) is a gaming website for people who hate paying full price for games. It's packed to the gills with killer deals on the forums and occasionally posted on the front page. Using CAG, I scored RE4 for Gamecube for $10 when the game was still $40 back around Christmas. The forums can have some pretty outrageous deals if you are patient.

The highlight of the site (for me, anyway) is the CAGcast, a podcast hosted by the site manager, CheapyD, and an irascible gamer called Wombat. The two have pretty good chemistry and the podcast is usually fun to listen to. It's a bit less polished than other gaming sites' casts (leading to gay jokes and sometimes disturbing amounts of drinking), but they see games from the older gamer's viewpoint - these are guys who grew up with the NES and Genesis, and they remember the classic era when they review the latest generic FPS.
