If you’ve been biding your time to buy a PS5—or you already own one and wish to get another so you can race them—today’s your day to shop. For one week only, PS5 Slim consoles are being slashed by $114 on Amazon AU. Not a bad entrypoint price to see what all the fuss is with games like Helldivers 2, FF7: Rebirth, Rise of the Ronin, and more.

In retro news, I’m celebrating the 20th birthday of Far Cry, the original holiday from hell shooter that spawned a six-game franchise (14 if you count spin-offs). At launch, I vividly recall being blown away by both the unprecedented degree of freedom on this South Pacific archipelago and the AI mercs, who had ridiculously pinpoint accuracy through trees. Not quite my favourite FC; that crown goes to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.

This Day in Gaming

Aussie birthdays for notable games.

When in doubt, light up the trees with suppressive fire. That’ll keep the ents in check.Table of ContentsNintendo SwitchPCXboxPlayStationNice Savings for Nintendo Switch

The Pathless

As the mysterious Hunter, I found myself most enraptured by this open world. Built to satisfy that curiosity, the landscape is filled with engaging environmental puzzles, hidden bits of lore that deepen its main story, and gorgeous landscapes.

Purchase Cheaply for PC

Boomer Shooter Bundle

Great bundle with a grossly inaccurate name (the Boomer gen cohort were actively trying to ban games like these, not buy and enjoy them). For one great price you get: Ultrakill, Turbo Overkill, Forgive Me Father 2, Deadlink, Prodeus, Quake II and Postal.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox

RoboCop: Rogue City

RC is a pitch-perfect throwback to the action movies of the ‘80s. It’s over-the-top violence with charm, largely well put together but rough on the edges. Most importantly, it’s a fun way to spend time in a beloved fictional universe.

Pure Scores for PlayStation

Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora Gold

Avatar: FoP features a stunning alien world to explore with a refreshingly uncluttered approach to navigation, countless enemy bases to destroy and Na’vi clan sidequests to complete, and no shortage of exotic flora and fauna to harvest and hunt.
