Crack open the piggy bank and stretch those thumbs because today’s bargains are banger-tastic. From high-speed karting to gritty sci-fi sagas, there’s something for every aficionado, and some of the prices are frankly outrageous (in a good way).
This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 17th birthday of Professor Layton and the Curious Village. I still have vivid memories of this head-scratching puzzler making me feel dumber than usual. The premise itself was elegantly simple, mind you: Professor Layton and his young assistant Luke are summoned to solve the mystery of a hidden inheritance. But the narrative beyond was interwoven with over 130 logic teasers and sliding block conundrums dispensed by the town’s quirky residents. Worth a replay (but have Google on hand).

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
Over on the Nintendo Switch, Mario & Luigi: Brothership drops anchor with a tidy 20% off. It’s the first time in nearly a decade that the mustachioed duo has teamed up in a new game, and it marks the spiritual return of AlphaDream-style RPG zaniness. Alongside that, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled skids into the spotlight with 22% off. It was a loving remake with so many retro references, even the cheat codes got a comeback.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Xbox Series X, GTA V hits its lowest price ever at just A$25. Nearly a dozen years in, Rockstar still drops fresh content into Los Santos like it’s a live soap opera. Pair it with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, where Cal Kestis’ lightsaber customisation game is strong. I spent way too much time tinkering there and so can you.

Purchase Cheap for PC
PC players get spoiled too: Inside is going for a jaw-dropping A$3. A haunting platformer by the folks behind Limbo, it’s said the developers scrapped over 70 prototype ideas before locking in its eerie minimalist aesthetic. And for those who prefer stylish demon-smashing, the Devil May Cry Franchise Pack is slashing prices by 71%. Fun fact: Dante was originally meant to be a sci-fi cyborg named “Tony Redgrave”. Bullet dodged.
