This Day in Gaming 🎂

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 15th birthday of Patapon 3, a PSP great and the highest point of an all-time franchise. Best described as a musical RPG where four-beat patterns and rhythmic button taps produce heroism, Patapon 3's catchy-arse songs still live rent free in my head a decade-and-a-half later.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch

Let’s start on Switch, where Burnout Paradise Remastered can drift into your collection at a mere six bucks. I adored it for its seamless open-world carnage, and some bad arse DLC inspired by iconic film cars was the cherry on top. Meanwhile, Mortal Kombat 1 has been leg-swept down to A$21, bringing with it brutal Fatal Blows and a lore reboot that retcons everything.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox

Over on Xbox Series X, NBA 2K25 dunks hard with a 72% drop. Look out for the MyCareer mode’s hilariously wooden cameos from real-life NBA stars. Grand Theft Auto V, still chugging along a decade after launch, sits at A$24 and is packed with Easter eggs, like a submerged UFO in the ocean and a literal Bigfoot cameo.

Pure Scores for PlayStation

On PS5, Helldivers 2 deploys for A$44, and it’s designed to make friendly fire not just possible, but likely and hilarious. Also on offer is Need for Speed Unbound, whose graffiti art style was inspired by French street artists.

Purchase Cheap for PC

On PC, Metro 2033 Redux is absolutely free. That’s right, pay zero dollars (or in this universe...zero bullets) for a game whose world-building was directly overseen by the novel’s author, Dmitry Glukhovsky. Pair it with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 for A$27, and you’re golden.
