This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m using a PLAS-1 Scorcher to light 10 candles on a Helldivers bday cake. Rather different from its current-day darling of a sequel, this top-down twin-stick shooter was a white-knuckle affair that bolstered/ruined many a mateship with its uncommon inclusion of friendly fire. One core memory for me: hearing some NPC Helldivers on my bridge remark upon the ‘peacefulness’ of their skull logo in a very “Are we the baddies?” exchange. Comedy gold.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
If you’ve yet to experience Immortals Fenyx Rising on Switch, now’s the time—at just A$12, it’s an absolute steal. This mythological adventure from Ubisoft was originally pitched as an Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey expansion before evolving into a full-fledged game that I thought was criminally under-bought.

Purchase Cheap for PC
On PC, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is practically free at A$1.49! This stunning remake of Lara Croft’s 1996 debut contains a secret Bigfoot Easter egg, a callback to a long-standing rumor about the original game. And if you crave justice with a side of ‘80s nostalgia, RoboCop: Rogue City is actually way better than you think it is.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Xbox Series X, Metro Exodus is an incredible A$9 deal. Did you know the game features a hidden tribute to Half-Life 2? Pay close attention to a certain scientist’s mug and thank me later for the excited Leo DiCaprio point you’ll do at your screen.

Pure Scores for PlayStation
Finally, PS5 players can snag Cyberpunk 2077 for A$35—an incredible turnaround for a game that went from infamous launch to redemption arc. And a cheaper Hitman: World of Assassination will let you creatively eliminate targets, including one mission that secretly mimics Knives Out’s whodunit structure.
