Don't waste time hunting Black Friday video game deals: I've found them for you
With all the big-ticket discounts, it's easy to forget how many video game deals there are over Black Friday. Titles new and old, big and small, and on all platforms see discounts of varying amounts.
You could very easily spend the entire Black Friday weekend hunting down all sorts of discounts on video game, window shopping to your heart's content, but you don't need to. That's because I've found several great deals per (modern) console, on titles you need to play. Each of the games I select have seen price cuts in Black Friday that mean there's no need to wait before playing them.
