This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 17th bday of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2, the first game I ever reviewed for IGN AU! I’m all about its co-op PvE mode, called Terrorist Hunt, that my mates and I sank about a hundred hours into. Whether you do it via two-player split or 4P over Xbox Live, the concept is simple: survive a butt-clenching, one-shot-one-kill onslaught against thirty AI scumbags. I still play this on my XSX and it remains an absolute (flash)banger.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
Nintendo leads with a nostalgic one-two punch. Super Mario RPG (A$64) is a lovingly remade classic that sees Mario teaming up with Bowser (a plot twist that blew minds back in the SNES days). And for only A$6, Portal: Companion Collection serves up both Portal games in one neat bundle. The whole package is worth it for that iconic “Still Alive” song alone.
