This Day in Gaming ?

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 27th birthday of StarCraft, the venerable RTS GOAT. It needs little introduction, so I'll not zerg rush you with the fondest memories of the hundreds of hours I spent on it. Instead, let's use this space to reminisce on how nuts 1998 was for Oz game launches. Half-Life, Ocarina of Time, Resident Evil 2, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, Banjo-Kazooie, Baldur's Gate, Pokémon Red and Blue—madness! It's like the devs of the day heard "98" and mistook it for the review score to hit.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch

Kicking off on the Nintendo Switch, Monster Hunter Rise is down to just A$15, a fitting price for a game that saved Capcom’s bacon in 2021 by smashing expectations with its vertical gameplay and iconic Wirebug mechanic. Meanwhile, Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom (A$13) offers Studio Ghibli-esque visuals and world-building, thanks in part to the actual involvement of Ghibli alumni Yoshiyuki Momose.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox

Xbox Series X fans can snag Shin Megami Tensei V for A$34 and it’s a series that actually predates Persona and helped define the "demon negotiation" mechanic long before it became trendy. Or grab Resident Evil 4 Remake (A$43), where Capcom added charming touches like Leon’s updated one-liners and a sidekick who’s way more useful than before.

Pure Scores for PlayStation

Lastly, PS5 owners shouldn’t miss Elden Ring (A$59), the FromSoftware epic that features a pot warrior named Iron Fist Alexander (and yes, us fans love him). Or there’s TopSpin 2K25 (A$19), the long-awaited return of a tennis sim where sweat physics somehow became a cooed about feature. Play it on a smell-o-vision for the absolute best results, I guess.

Purchase Cheap for PC

Over on PC, Control: Ultimate Edition is a steal at A$9. Remedy’s mind-bending thriller is not just stylish; it’s secretly connected to Alan Wake and part of Remedy’s ever-growing shared universe. Fancy a survival twist? Sons of the Forest (A$18) drops you in a mutant-infested island sequel that lets you befriend a three-armed companion named Virginia. No joke, she’ll dance when she’s happy.
