2K knocks $10 off Civ, NBA, NHL, BioShock

With the worldwide economic downturn still raging unabated, many are looking for ways to stretch their already pulled-taut dollar. Despite recently reporting a twofold fourth-quarter loss, Take-Two Interactive imprint 2K Games provided one such way today, in the form of a discount for several of its top titles.

Until the end of the month, gamers can visit www.2kgames.com/coupon to print out a coupon (pictured) that will lop $10 off the cost of Civilization Revolution (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360), Civilization IV: Colonization (PC), NBA 2K9 (PC, PS3, 360), NHL 2K9 (PS3, 360, Wii), and BioShock (PS3 only). For the more casually minded, the coupon also discounts Carnival Games (Wii, DS), Carnival MiniGolf (Wii), and Dora the Explorer: Dora Saves the Snow Princess (Wii, DS).

The 2K coupon can be redeemed at a number of participating retailers including (but not limited to): Wal-Mart, Target, Kmart, GameStop, Game Crazy, Virgin, Hastings, Meijer, f.y.e., and Fred Meyer. It cannot be used for online purchases.
