A Trip Down Memory Lane: Gaming Anniversaries 🎂
Calling all retro enthusiasts! The Human Torch would be lighting 15 candles today for the iconic Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. This action-RPG brawler was an absolute blast, especially in 4-player co-op. It felt like a true superhero smorgasbord, pulling characters straight from the comic pages with a compelling Civil War storyline at its core.
The standout feature was definitely the fusion system, allowing heroes to combine for flashy, strategic, and devastating combo moves. While it didn’t reinvent the wheel, it delivered the definitive superhero team-up experience fans craved. Plus, let’s be honest, its bonus skin selections were way better than the underwhelming recolors we got in 2019’s MUA3.

On Switch, Tears of the Kingdom continues to be the ultimate playground for player creativity.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Series X, Resident Evil 4 is survival horror perfection. Fun fact: Leon’s hair physics were so tricky that Capcom had to dedicate an entire internal memo to “strand discipline.” Farming Simulator 25 also deserves mention, not only for its meditative gameplay but because the devs modeled actual tractor engines in a sound studio for authenticity.
Grab these Xbox deals:
- Borderlands 4 (-17%) – A$99: Loot, shoot, and banter with a fresh cast and bigger planets. Gearbox isn’t reinventing the wheel, but fans will want to strap in for the chaos.

- Turtle Beach Stealth Pivot controller (-33%) – A$167.70: Premium wireless pad with haptic feedback and modular sticks. A pricey accessory, but built like a tank for competitive edge seekers.
Xbox One Classics:
- NieR Replicant ver.1.22 (-60%) – A$35.90: Square Enix revisits Yoko Taro’s cult classic with prettier visuals and tighter combat. It’s melancholy, weird, and worth every cent.
- Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (-50%) – A$49.90: FromSoftware’s shinobi action masterpiece rewards precision and patience. Brutally tough, but that first boss you topple is unforgettable.

Pure Scores for PlayStation
PS5-wise, Dead Space is an all-timer for sci-fi horror. The zero-G sections alone felt revolutionary back in 2008. On the opposite side of tone, Spider-Man: Miles Morales is joy distilled into web-swinging. Insomniac actually sent animators to Harlem to nail its vibe.
Unbeatable PlayStation offers:
- Dead Space (-55%) – A$49: Isaac Clarke’s nightmare returns scarier and sharper than ever. Motive nails the atmosphere and terror, making this remake feel definitive.
- The Last of Us Part I (-50%) – A$62.40: Naughty Dog’s modern retelling of Joel and Ellie’s first trek is visually jaw-dropping. If you missed it on PS3 or PS4, this is the one.
- Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales (-50%) – A$47.40: Shorter than Peter’s adventure, but packed with flair and heart. Swinging through snowy Harlem never gets old.
- Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut (-34%) – A$62.70: Sucker Punch’s samurai epic expanded with Iki Island and Legends multiplayer. A stunning love letter to Kurosawa films.
- Battlefield 6 (-19%) – A$89: EA’s modern shooter spectacle. Explosive battles, big maps, and squad tactics. Not groundbreaking, but reliable online chaos.

- GTA Trilogy (-77%) – A$23: Three open-world crime classics in one package. Visual updates are hit-and-miss, but Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas remain essential.
- Sniper Elite 4 (-90%) – A$9.90: Long-range kills in WW2 Italy never get old. Slow-mo X-ray shots of Nazis exploding are as gruesome and satisfying as ever.
