If you've been biding your time to buy a PS5—or you already own one and wish to get another so you can race them—today's your day to shop. For one week only, PS5 Slim consoles are being slashed by $114 on Amazon AU. Not a bad entrypoint price to see what all the fuss is with games like Helldivers 2, FF7: Rebirth, Rise of the Ronin, and more.
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 20th birthday of Far Cry, the original holiday from hell shooter that spawned a six-game franchise (14 if you count spin-offs). At launch, I vividly recall being blown away by both the unprecedented degree of freedom on this South Pacific archipelago and the AI mercs, who had ridiculously pinpoint accuracy through trees. Not quite my favourite FC; that crown goes to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
