Money can get tight around this time of year (reminder to all: start Christmas shopping). Perhaps you’re stingy and don’t like paying for things at all. Maybe you either don’t know how to pirate software or, feel bad for those starving developers out there. So, if you have a PC and love first person shooters, then IGN PC has put together a good list of FPSs for you, to play, for free. What are you waiting for? Time is money! Go check out the list.

If you’re looking to pick up the standard edition of Assassin’s Creed II for cheap then you might wanna head-on-over to Amazon.ca. The online retailer is selling the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions for $49.99 each- that’s $20 dollars off the retail price. Not good enough for you? By ordering the game, you’ll also get a $10 coupon that can be placed towards your next Amazon.ca video games purchase. Not bad right? Deal ends Monday night as the game ships the next day, so you’d better hurry!

• Amazon.ca: Assassin’s Creed II for Xbox 360
• Amazon.ca: Assassin’s Creed II for Playstation 3

Here’s a sweet deal, just for today Futureshop.com is offering Modern Warfare 2 on either the 360 of PS3 for the discounted price of $49.99. The deal is only available through their site, only for the regular edition of the game and will expire after tonight. So if you’re looking to save $20 bucks and not interested in bizzare night vision google bonuses, this deal should be right up your alley. Head on over to Futureshop.com for the savings.

Update: After just ONE hour, FutureShop has already sold out of Modern Warfare 2. So looks like most of you missed your chance – given you were sleeping. Like normal people.

In case of a grog binge on the 19th, they’re giving until the end of September 21st to recover and take advantage of these deals. As if that isn’t enough, they’re also giving us 50% off on the iPhone, Steam and Direct2Drive special editions of The Secret of Monkey Island. This X marks the spot to be on Talk Like A Pirate Day.

Tales of Monkey Island, Episode Three is coming into port on September 29.

Good news for Playstation 3 owners and cheapskates alike, today marks the inception of six titles to Sony’s ever growing ‘Greatest Hits’ line. For 29.99 US dollars you can pick up “red bar” versions of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Devil May Cry 4, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Battlefield: Bad Company and Army of Two.

Frankly, you’d be silly not to pick up MGS4 for 30 bucks, if only for the eight thousand hours of cutscenes.
