This Day in Gaming 
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 15th birthday of Patapon 3, a PSP great and the highest point of an all-time franchise. Best described as a musical RPG where four-beat patterns and rhythmic button taps produce heroism, Patapon 3’s catchy-arse songs still live rent free in my head a decade-and-a-half later.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
Let’s start on Switch, where Burnout Paradise Remastered can drift into your collection at a mere six bucks. I adored it for its seamless open-world carnage, and some bad arse DLC inspired by iconic film cars was the cherry on top. Meanwhile, Mortal Kombat 1 has been leg-swept down to A$21, bringing with it brutal Fatal Blows and a lore reboot that retcons everything.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Xbox Series X, NBA 2K25 dunks hard with a 72% drop. Look out for the MyCareer mode’s hilariously wooden cameos from real-life NBA stars. Grand Theft Auto V, still chugging along a decade after launch, sits at A$24 and is packed with Easter eggs, like a submerged UFO in the ocean and a literal Bigfoot cameo.
