Great gaming bargain seasons don’t come around very often, so now’s the perfect time to stock up on some absolute gems. I’ve been deals trawling like a fiend and today’s list nets in the very best catches from both Amazon’s Big Smile Sale and the ongoing Steam Spring Sale promotions. Physical or digital—I’ve got the cheapest must-buys from both!
This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 15th birthday of God of War III, a mind-blowing sequel that’s still remembered as a high watermark for colossal sized bosses. Case in point: the titanic battle against a 1,600 ft tall Cronos that pushed the PS3 to its limits and still lives rent free in my head. Epic stuff.
