Welcome to the last Shoestring gaming of the year where we point out where some deals are going on to help you game on a budget. This week might be slower for a lot of people already having bought their gifts but the sales continue from all over the internet. This week Amazon seems to be taking the lead in offering all kinds of incredible game and tech deals.

Amazon is currently having digital game sales over Christmas that will be ending in between the 28th of December and the 1st of January. The sales are ranging across many different consoles offering download codes of games, some of them have even been discounted up to 80% off.

Dead Space 3 for Origin is currently only $4.00 on Amazon until the 28th of December. Dead Space 3 marks the third adventure for Issac Clarke as he once again faces the impending threat of the markers and the necromorphs that are never too far behind. Dead Space 3 was the first of the games in the Dead Space franchise to have weapon customization allowing you to completely change the way that you fight against your enemies. Dead Space 3 is also entirely playable in co-op so if you have a friend that you want to join in on the fun then now's the time to share the holiday spirit.

For a more recent game, Dragon Age: Inquisition has a deal to get $10 off the retail pricing. Dragon Age: Inquisition is the third in the Dragon Age franchise, a series of Role Playing Games set in a world of dragons and magic.
