If you’re not on school holidays right now, happy stuck-at-work hump day! While I can’t magically grant you similar time off, I can direct you to the cheapest escapism needed for when you do knock off. Case in point: a ridic amount of Resis and my usual eclectic assortment of price-mauled modern classics.
In retro news, I’m celebrating the sweet 16th of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2, the first game I ever reviewed for IGN AU! I’m all about its co-op PvE mode, called Terrorist Hunt, that my mates and I sank about a hundred hours into. Whether you do it via two-player split or 4P over Xbox Live, the concept is simple: survive a butt-clenching, one-shot-one-kill onslaught against thirty AI scumbags. I played this just the other day on my XSX—it’s still an absolute (flash)banger.
This Aussie made game was already a must-own when it was just a one-goose-harrassment/puzzler. Now that they’ve patched in a co-op-goose-harrassment element, well, it’s even better. Half price is a steal. You’d be an actual goose to pass on this.
Not gonna sugar-coat it. At launch, this wasn’t quite the game we had been hoping for all these years. But hey, there’s still a lot to love, and it’s patchable / moddable. Plus, 61% off is 61% off.
If you’ve been patiently biding your time, waiting for a price drop on the most Prince controller available, delay no longer. Today’s weather forecast says we’re in for a 17% off chance of Astral Purple rain.
An impeccably detailed and blisteringly fast racer with incredible graphics and rock-solid arcade underpinnings, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 picks up where the surprisingly excellent 2021 original left off. 8/10, great.
