We're well past the midpoint of the week and are now hurtling towards some very important things. Obviously, there's the weekend to consider, but we're also in the vicinity of FFVII Rebirth's review embargo lift. My advice: peruse the amazing deals below, lock in some purchases for Saturday, and then go offline until the 29th. It's gonna be spoiler city soon.
In retro news, we're celebrating the big quarter century of Metal Gear Solid. A massive personal favourite of mine, it helped popularise the stealth genre, blew minds with its cinema-inspired style, and was bristling with emergent gameplay opportunities. [Back of the CD] case in point: I was working in games retail when it launched and can vividly recall a tsunami of returning customers who couldn't figure out how to get Meryl's codec number. Good times.
