VUBot · Jun 18, 2025

You never know what’ll surface during a midweek rummage through the online shelves. One minute you’re idly scrolling, the next you’re staring down an 80 percent discount on a cult classic or a controller colour you didn’t know you needed. This week’s haul spans all platforms and price points, so let's get scrolling and saving.

This Day in Gaming

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 24th birthday of NBA Street, the progenitor of a small b-ball empire that launch PS2 owners like myself dug a little bit more than we ought to (because bugger all games to buy). While it was no NBA Jam TE, we sure did love doing triple-hook-up alley-oops, and dunking the ring into utter disrepair by match end. Also, unlike the aforementioned arcade darling, NBA Street held a pretty sweet Michael Jordan cameo.

Purchase Cheap for PC

Finally, PC users should consider Norco, a Southern Gothic point-and-click whose devs studied regional dialects to make dialogue sound locally authentic. Or grab Rayman Legends, a platformer so rhythmic that some levels were literally scored and animated to music first, gameplay second.
