This Day in Gaming 
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 27th birthday of StarCraft, the venerable RTS GOAT. It needs little introduction, so I'll not zerg rush you with the fondest memories of the hundreds of hours I spent on it. Instead, let's use this space to reminisce on how nuts 1998 was for Oz game launches. Half-Life, Ocarina of Time, Resident Evil 2, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, Banjo-Kazooie, Baldur's Gate, Pokémon Red and Blue—madness! It's like the devs of the day heard "98" and mistook it for the review score to hit.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
Kicking off on the Nintendo Switch, Monster Hunter Rise is down to just A$15, a fitting price for a game that saved Capcom’s bacon in 2021 by smashing expectations with its vertical gameplay and iconic Wirebug mechanic. Meanwhile, Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom (A$13) offers Studio Ghibli-esque visuals and world-building, thanks in part to the actual involvement of Ghibli alumni Yoshiyuki Momose.
