Not to embrace my inner Palpatine and deal in absolutes, but Star Wars Squadrons (PC, XO) going for $2.99 is an absolutely sith hot deal. First of all, it’s just a great game. Second of all, it has cross-platform multi, which means you’re much more likely to find like-minded pilots to explode. And lastly, (on the platforms that support it) it provides some of the best wish fulfilment VR action one can buy—for two dollars, ninety-nine.
In retro news, I’m marking the legs 11th birthday of 2013’s Mortal Kombat with a big asterisk on the celebrations. You see, while it sounds crazy to say it now, the original release of this title was refused classification in our country because we didn’t yet have a R18+ rating for video games. After many years of protests by gamers, local critics, and the odd sympathetic politician, we earned said rating and the reclassification of this MK in a flawless victory. Good thing, too, we would have missed out on playing as Kratos and Freddy Krueger, two of NetherRealm’s finest guest characters.
