Prime Day might be over, but someone clearly forgot to tell the discounts. In a twist that’s as welcome as it is unexpected, a hefty stack of deals has survived the retail storm, with prices still slashed across Switch, Xbox, PlayStation and PC. Whether it’s leftovers from the main sale or publishers riding the hype wave a little longer, there are still some proper gems worth pouncing on.
This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 27th birthday of Point Blank, a PS One lightgun classic that’s tied to one of my fondest gaming memories. For those of you unfamiliar with it, Point Blank is basically a collection of carnival target mini-games that’s best played competitively with two players. Arguably the trickiest task is a sniper challenge with one bullet and a five second window to blast an object out of a distant figure’s hand. I’ll never forget the time when a mate of mine went full Billy the Kid and quick-drew a shot from his hip to nail said target in 0.5 of a second. Arsiest gaming feat I’ve ever witnessed.

Nintendo‘s highlight reel kicks off with Super Mario RPG, a remake that had original composer Yoko Shimomura return nearly three decades later to update the soundtrack. Right alongside it is Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the experimental curveball that Game Freak quietly built as a prototype for open-world evolution. Turns out fans loved it more than Brilliant Diamond.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Xbox, Baldur’s Gate 3 is flexing its RPG dominance and remains the first game ever to let you romance a sentient brain in a jar. And if you missed Wild Hearts, that’s EA and Koei Tecmo’s monster-hunting spin on feudal Japan where building a spring-loaded hammer trap is just as viable as using a katana.

For PlayStation, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion brings Zack Fair’s story back with re-recorded lines and a combat system that finally ditches its PSP-era slot machine mechanics. Tales of Arise also stands tall, being the first in the series to win Game of the Year at The Game Awards, and features charming character banter about everything from porridge to political insurrection.
