Welcome back to a blessed short-week of sweet game savings. If you’re a newbie planning to take shade in the Erdtree DLC that’s got everybody riled up, I’ve found a great price on the base Elden Ring to get you started. Alternatively, there are now some $60-and-under Switch evergreen must-owns that ought to be growing in your collection. Lastly, if that stupidly popular Stellar Blade demo impressed you, preorder the full version at this less-than-RRP discount.
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 20th birthday of Pac-Man Vs., a rare GameCube gem developed by Shigeru Miyamoto. Packaged as a R: Racing Evolution bonus disc, it was an asymmetrical local multiplayer game that had 3 “ghost” players hunting a Pac-Man player. The twist: the spooks have a very limited sphere of vision, while the dot muncher (playing on a linked-up Gameboy Advance) has a full view of everything. Oh, and there’s a Switch version of it in Namco Museum Arcade Pac.

Blinky, Pinky, and Inky got a start. Clyde got the shaft.

Mario Golf: Super Rush
If you like big putts and you cannot lie, Super Rush is a comfort-food game that, to some, can take you to a happy place with a couple taps of the same button followed by an exclamation of “Nice Shot!
Get Fallout 76, Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition, Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, Fallout New Vegas Ultimate, and Fallout Classic Collection for one low, low price.
Anniversary includes all previously-released Creation Club content, new creations like Ghosts of the Tribunal and The Cause, and four free creations that are on the Special Edition, including Saints and Seducers, Rare Curios, Survival Mode, and Fishing.
As a remaster, Sonic Colors: Ultimate throws in a decent amount of new stuff, but nothing beyond the frame rate and resolution bump really add up to anything that elevates the experience beyond what it was on the Wii. 8/10, great.
