goHastings has Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (PlayStation 3) for $4.96 + $2.28 shipping =
$7.24 shipped. Newegg has the
Xbox 360 version for
$10 with free shipping. Loosely based on the 16th-century Chinese story "Journey to the West," the game is set in a post-apocalyptic future where you play as Monkey, a strong and athletic slave, who is forced to help another slave escape from the slave ships and return home.
Calling "Journey to the West" a "novel" doesn't really give the full flavor -- it's a Chinese epic adventure story, written in the 16th century. This summary makes it sound like it came out this year and the movie will be coming out soon. More like "loosely based on a classic work of Chinese literature."
Good point.
