The boxing day deals continue unabated today, and I’ve corralled the best of ’em into a no-nonsense list for you. Well, there’s a little bit of nonsense in there. Nerf Legends is pushing the envelope on what I’d consider a worthy game purchase. But heyβ50 bucks off is 50 bucks off. Buy it for a younger sibling.
In retro news, I could not let this day pass without marking the sweet sixteenth of Super Stardust HD. I remember it fondly as one of the best Housemarque twin-stick shooters I ever had a score war in. The soundtrack also still slaps mighty, mighty hard (case in point: OST Track 4 – Nemain.)

Batman: Arkham Origins
If you’re looking to prolong the Christmas period, this is the perfect purchase. Origins is, after all, a crime-fighting caper set during a (not so) silent night in Gotham City. Give the gift of season’s beatings to many a goon.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Lords of the Fallen
Lords of the Fallen is a great soulslike, and its killer new idea of swapping between two versions of the world to solve puzzles and slay enemies is an excellent twist to set it apart from the pack. 8/10, great.

Pure Scores for PlayStation
Gran Turismo 7
I cannot overstate how amazing this game is in VR. That being said, there’s a pretty high chance some of you will need to take it slow to earn your sea legs. Go in slow, with Fiat 500 aspirations instead of Ferrari FXX ones.

HyperMotion V and DualSense feedback return to make matches realistic, with precise ball and player physics, noticeable field wear and tear, and goal post-shaking haptics. There’s a lot of attention to detail going into recreating a realistic atmosphere.
