Welcome back to saving a bunch on top games while reminiscing on the retro greats that made us. I'll be your host for today's discounts, which include a slightly cheaper Black Myth: Wukong and $12 VR games for anybody who bought a PS VR2 to play the best of PCVR. That's what I'll be buying 'em for, at least.
In olden times news, I'm equipping the Grunt Birthday Party Skull for Halo 3's 17th. The AU launch for this was more or less a life event for myself and many of you—to the tune of 50K units ($6M) sold in 24 hours. Perspective check: That was one-in-four Xbox 360 owners, and a bigger dollar debut than the previous title holder, The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (the film). Personally, I was stoked to finally "finish the fight" and will always have core memories of doing it via 4-player co-op—a feature first for the series. Oh, and the MP vendettas (forged on Guardian against Mark Serrels) were a huge deal at the games mag offices I worked at, too.
