The most enjoyable part of the monsoon, for many people, are the lazy evenings accompanied by hot pakodas and tea. However, if you have to be cooped up at home on account of the weather, why not whip out your Lancer's chainsaw bayonet instead and split some Locust grubs? The good news is that your quest to shed rivers of digital blood won't empty out your wallet, thanks to Game4u.com's monsoon sale. The video game retailer is offering discounts of up to 40% on PC and console games, in addition to accessories, peripherals, and even action figures.

However, don't expect every single title to sell for 40% less, because newer games have only  between a 10 to 15% discount. Moreover, not all game prices have been cut. Hot products, such as the Uncharted Trilogy Edition and other limited-edition titles, still understandably sell for the full MRP. Nevertheless, the discounted games are still cheaper than other websites such as Flipkart.com.

If you've registered in the Team Elite programme (by making a minimum purchase of Rs 450), you are eligible for "additional benefits" (whatever that might be). Also, no date has been given for the end of the sale — only "until stocks last", which is code for let's-have-a-sale-and-see-how-quickly-we-can-clear-out-the-unsold-stuff.
