This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 15th birthday of H.A.W.X., a Clancy-verse Top Gun that sounded like the noise made when too much flem builds up in one’s throat. My overriding memories of it include a third-person lock-on cam, and a fly-through-these-boxes mini-game that would drift your plane onto the tail of your target. Despite making dogfighting ludicrously accessible and taking off to decent sales figures, a lacklustre sequel put this fledgling franchise into a flatspin, then the dirt.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
Starting strong on Nintendo Switch, Sonic Frontiers speeds in at 49% off, offering the Blue Blur’s first true open-world (and Breath of the Wild inspired) adventure. Meanwhile, Ori and the Will of the Wisps is an absolute steal at 67% off, bringing its breathtaking visuals and fluid platforming.
Sonic Frontiers
0
Frontiers is a delightfully weird and experimental evolution of the Sonic games so many of us grew up with. Its series of open-world islands are filled with so much variety and pieces of Sonic history.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Xbox Series X fans can dive into Hogwarts Legacy at half price and explore the wizarding world like never before. Prefer a wackier adventure? Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, 83% off, was originally meant to be just a Borderlands 3 DLC before evolving into its own game thanks to overwhelming fan demand.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands

TTW’s excellent writing, hilarious performances from an all-star cast, and ridiculous combat continue to shine brightly and make this tabletop-inspired explosion-fest absolutely worth your time. 8/10, great.
