It’s Monday again, which means welcome back to the salt mines (but also a ton of savings with yours truly). Personally, I’m gravitating to that ongoing PS Publisher on PC sale and a new Penguin/Batman-centric one that popped up over the weekend. Beyond that, I’ll leave you to dig through my very eclectic, but most definitely curated, list of stuff worth scoring.
In retro news, I’m breaking out the fairy bread Jill sandwiches for the 22nd birthday of Resident Evil [remake] on GameCube. One of the first reduxings of its kind, this set the bar for what the modernisation of a game ought to be. I day-one adored it for a bunghole puckering “One Dangerous Zombie” mode, which only unlocked after clocking it twice with Chris and twice with Jill (!!!). The reward for my dedication: being hunted throughout Act 1 by a kamikaze Bomb Zombie (ex-S.T.A.R.S. officer Forest Speyer). Shoot or stab him, and the whole bloody mansion goes up. Game Over. Amazing.
