If you celebrate today’s festivities, my season’s greetings to you. If you don’t, well, no probs, because we’re both just going to take advantage of the discounts aimed at people who do get into it. Everybody wins! Particularly if you want a free copy of Dredge or a cheap controller or a price slice on a game this connoisseur would buy himself.
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 28th birthday of Christmas NiGHTS into Dreams, arguably gaming’s greatest goodwill limited edition freebie. Sega threw this in with my purchase of a select Sega Saturn game, and it was basically a little advent calendar whose content shifted in sync with my console’s internal clock. Beating a level (reskinned in a wintry and/or outright Christmas theme) earned you limited chances to solve a tile-matching puzzle to unlock 25 “Presents.” The best of the bunch—a mini-sandbox level starring Sonic the Hedgehog that ends with a satisfying Eggman scrambling. Honestly, I adore this demo disc and play it every year without fail.
