Gamers of all genres, bargain hunters, and lovers of digital delights, gather round and get ready to save serious dough. Of particular note, right now is review D-Day for the very well-received Monster Hunter Wilds (worth a preorder). Otherwise, this week's lineup of gaming discounts looks to be packed with unmissable deals, so let's Hook Sling into the best of the bunch.
This Day in Gaming 
In retro news, I've spent some craaazy money on a 25-shaped birthday cake for Crazy Taxi. This Dreamcast classic was the start of a better-than-fare open-world racing trilogy that was steadily ported across from the arcades. Ludicrously fast and brimming with an uncommon level of freedom in its A to B delivering antics, this version came with all of the epic soundtrack (see: Bad Religion and The Offspring) and added many a mini-game. I lost way too many hours attempting the insanely difficult ten-pin bowling/drifting ones.
Interestingly—and as if to prove that nothing changes 'cause it's all the same—it seems Sega is in the process of rebooting this fine game. I guess it all just happens again, way down the line.
