Whether you’re playing solo, with mates, or just hunting for your next obsession, the below haul covers everything from co-op chaos and sportsball simming to cult classics and free gems.

This Day in Gaming

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 13th birthday of Lollipop Chainsaw, a Suda51 cult-hit. Admittedly, it didn't garner much in the way of high scores, but I still recall it being the best game about a zombie-slaying cheerleader armed with a portable power tool and the disembodied head of her boyfriend... I've ever played. Had a whole buncha rock solid references to horror flicks and IRL musicians, too.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox

Over on Xbox, Tekken 8 comes swinging in with the return of Jun Kazama, a fan-favourite who hadn’t been playable since the 1990s. And The Witcher 3 Complete Edition isn't just a hefty RPG, it’s one that CD Projekt Red once accidentally spoiled via a dev note left in the code. Us diehards found it within days.
