Even though your pile of shame’s already teetering and your backlog is the size of a felled sequoia, who are you and I to resist yet another bargain? Today's gaming treasure trove spans mischievous birds, noir cyborgs, and wizarding wonders, all at prices that’ll have your wallet breathing a sigh of relief. Whether you’re deep in console country or loyal to your trusty PC, there’s a little something here to make your day but ruin your bandwidth.

This Day in Gaming 🎂


In retro news, I'm lighting a 15-candle cake for WarioWare D.I.Y., one of my favourite Nintendo DS time-wasters. Nintendo essentially handed players the keys to the microgame factory and somehow didn’t burn the place down. Armed with a stylus and too much free time, you could compose janky 8-bit music, draw unhinged sprites, and script chaotic games that lasted all of five seconds but felt like fever dreams.

The tutorials starred Wario’s development crew trying (and mostly failing) to teach you game design basics without causing a workplace accident. Honestly, it was less Super Mario Maker and more Mario Paint meets GarageBand on a sugar high. It even let you upload your madness online, meaning no DS cartridge was safe from your homemade horrors. A beautiful, timeless mess.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch​


Nintendo players can dash into Sonic Frontiers for A$49, a sprawling open zone adventure that lets the blue blur stretch his legs like never before. Or stir up some trouble in the minimalist mayhem of Untitled Goose Game, a local Melbourne creation that nabbed a BAFTA and inspired real-life goose protest signs.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox​


Xbox Series X owners should absolutely look at Robocop: Rogue City - Alex Murphy Edition, now just A$10. The devs brought back Peter Weller himself to voice Robocop three decades after the original. Meanwhile, Ori and the Will of the Wisps remains one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful games of the generation, with animation influenced by Studio Ghibli.

Pure Scores for PlayStation

Purchase Cheap for PC​


Over on PC, Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition is criminally underplayed at just A$4. It’s essentially “GTA meets Hong Kong cinema” and includes an actual Bruce Lee outfit. Finally, Baldur’s Gate 3 is down to A$71, and it only took Larian Studios six years, three delays, and a player base that insists on seducing every NPC to make it one of the most beloved CRPGs of all time.
