Now that the kids are out of school and spending a little more time at the house, they’ll be looking for things to do. Among their activities, they should be doing something constructive, you know, to keep their brains from turning to mush. But every once in a while there’s nothing wrong with playing some video games to let loose.

There are a lot of great deals out there to be found on the Internet. Though I like buying things new, buying used is a very acceptable alternative for me as I like to keep within a budget. Besides, another advantage to buying something used is that you know it must have some entertainment value left if the game is still going strong.

One of my favorite games is Metroid. I’m not what you might call a gamer, but I found this one challenging where others might bang right through it. I looked it up on Shopwiki, which is a search directory on all sorts of products. I like their approach: their site isn’t designed to WOW you, but to give you the information you need to find what you’re looking for.

Once you do a search you can use the handy slider and dropdown menu to filter your search even deeper. The results show how many stores meet that criteria in a convenient rollover that includes the price the product is being sold for.
