Today, I’ve got an eclectic gaggle of deals for you to play through over the weekend. There’s a VR-y decent BYO Bundle for the headset-inclined, an Erdtree Edition for the masochists among you, and a bunch of CoDs (old and new) worth catching. Failing that, score some cut-price LEGO, because I’m obsessed with that also.
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 28th birthday of Kirby Super Star, a SNES…er, super…star that we called Kirby’s Fun Pak down under. The inclusion of two-player co-op was an uncommon feature in platformers of this age, so a neighbourhood pal and I were all about slowly unlocking and smashing through this eight-game omnibus at launch. In particular, we had a blast in Spring Breeze (Kirby’s Dream Land abridged) and The Great Cave Offensive (a Metroidvania filled with Nintendo stablemate references). That mechanic of P1 swallowing an enemy and then vomiting out a helper minion controlled by P2? Timelessly cool.

Sifu
0
Sifu demands a lot from you, and that’s a sword that cuts both ways. Its combat is impeccable, with incredibly smooth and impactful animation, deep fighting mechanics, and challenging enemies that really make you fight tooth and nail. 9/10.

BYO Elite VR Bndl
0
Personally, I’d score Doom VFR, Wolfenstein Cyberpilot, and Fruit Ninja for $2.96 apiece instead of $69.40 total. But, hey, if you can find 7 games worth grabbing in here, you can bring that down to $2.54 per game.

Elden Ring Erdtree Ed.
0
FromSoftware says Shadow of the Erdtree is the only expansion Elden Ring will get, so it’s fortunate that it’s hard to imagine a better DLC than this. 10/10, masterpiece.

Gran Turismo 7
0
Mixing the original GT’s trendsetting format with GT Sport’s stern but very successful focus on competitive online racing, Gran Turismo 7 makes a few errors but is a potent podium performance from developer Polyphony Digital.
