Another weekday, another excuse to pretend my backlog does not exist. I have sunk hours into most of these, paid for more than a few at full price, and none of them are here by accident. When discounts line up like this, it is less about hype and more about timing. Acquire before they expire.<\/p>\n

This Day in Gaming \ud83c\udf82<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\nIn retro news, I’m celebrating the 17th birthday of House of the Dead: Overkill<\/strong> which (at 189 f-bombs dropped) is one of the sweariest video games ever made. Hilariously, it was released first on the more family-friendly Nintendo Wii console and eventually morphed into a kick arse edutainment game<\/u> that taught you typing… via profanity! Bravo, Sega. Bra-#$%ing-vo.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nHey, hey, hey. Let’s keep this extreme violence above the equator bro.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/output><\/p>\n

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/output><\/p>\n
\nSuper Mario RPG (-38%) – A$49.90<\/strong> A confident remake of a 90s oddity that still feels playful. Timing based combat keeps it active, but it is short and light. Perfect if you want charm without a 100 hour commitment.<\/li>\nStar Wars Outlaws Gold Ed. (-34%) – A$59<\/strong> A scrappy open world Star Wars tale built around scoundrel energy instead of Jedi heroics. Side jobs are the real hook. Some stealth drags, but this is a fair entry point.<\/li>\nStreet Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Fighters Ed. (-24%) – A$70.60<\/strong> Still the cleanest modern fighter around. Welcoming controls, outrageous depth. Online can humble you quickly, but you are buying years of competitive longevity here.<\/li>\nStreets of Rage 4 (-70%) – A$11.20<\/strong> Lean, crunchy brawling that understands why the 90s worked. Combat feels weighty and deliberate. It is short, but replaying for ranks is where the value lives.<\/li>\nDiablo III Eternal Col. (-67%) – A$29.60<\/strong> The most comfortable loot grind on Switch. Combat is simple but satisfying, seasons keep it relevant. Story fades fast, yet the build loop still quietly rules.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOr gift a Nintendo eShop Card<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\nSwitch Console Prices<\/strong><\/p>\nHow much to Switch it up?<\/p>\n

Exciting Bargains for Xbox<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/output><\/p>\n
\nPrince of Persia The Lost Crown (-62%) – A$19<\/strong> Tight platforming, smart combat, and genuinely clever map design. It respects your skill without being cruel. Story is serviceable, movement is the real star.<\/li>\nCall of Duty Black Ops Cold War (-70%) – A$32.90<\/strong> A glossy, punchy campaign with classic Treyarch pacing. Multiplayer still hums. Not revolutionary, but at this discount it is dependable comfort food.<\/li>\nResident Evil 4 (-42%) – A$35<\/strong> A masterclass remake that trims fat and sharpens tension. Combat is heavier, horror leans meaner. Still action forward, but now properly unnerving.<\/li>\nAssassin’s Creed Valhalla (-56%) – A$44.30<\/strong> Vast Viking tourism with moments of brilliance. It runs long, sometimes too long, but the world building and combat weight justify this level of discount.<\/li>\nHalo 5 Guardians (-75%) – A$7.40<\/strong> A divisive campaign, mechanically sharp shooting. Multiplayer remains fast and skill driven. For this price, it is hard to argue with more Halo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nXbox One<\/strong><\/p>\n\nDying Light 2 Stay Human (-70%) – A$29.60<\/strong> Parkour remains the star, especially at night when tension spikes. Story choices wobble, but free running across rooftops rarely gets old.<\/li>\nMiddle-earth Shadow of War (-70%) – A$16.50<\/strong> The Nemesis system is still magic. Orc rivalries feel personal and absurd. It bloats later, yet for this price the sandbox stories alone carry it.<\/li>\nSifu (-75%) – A$14.90<\/strong> A disciplined, demanding brawler built on repetition and mastery. You will lose often. Improvement feels earned, and the combat is beautifully clean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOr just invest in an Xbox Card<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\nXbox Console Prices<\/strong><\/p>\nHow many bucks for a ‘Box?<\/p>\n
