Black Friday is a strange tradition, but it’s one that holds quite a bit of marketing sway here in the States. I’m not sure why exactly everyone decided that the day after Thanksgiving was the best shopping day of the year, or why retailers decided to turn it into a cataclysmic shopping event, but that’s just the world we live in now. Black Friday sales amount for a seriously large percentage of holiday revenue.

If waiting in line at stores early in the morning and trampling other people to get electronic goods is your speed, Wal-Mart has you covered with this year’s ridiculous video game Black Friday offers.

Here’s a basic rundown on what you’ll find at the big-box retailer on shopping’s most intense day:

• 4G Xbox 3603 months of Live
• Gears of War 3
• $50 Wal-Mart gift card

• 4G Xbox 360Kinect
• Kinect Adventures
• $50 Wal-Mart gift card

• Ratchet & Clank All 4 One
• LittleBigPlanet 2
• 3 months of Sony Plus

• Blue Nintendo Wii
• Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games

If consoles aren’t your bag, the software deals are pretty sharp as well: for $28, you can pick up Gears of War 3, Arkham City, Call of Duty: Black Ops or Infamous 2. $15 snags you Kinect Sports 2 and Dance Central 2, and Yakuza 4 is on sale for $10. There are a number of other specials going on, but those seem to be the most high profile.

Is it worth braving the crowds and chaos to grab a good deal on games?
