Welcome back to a blessed short-week of sweet game savings. If you're a newbie planning to take shade in the Erdtree DLC that's got everybody riled up, I've found a great price on the base Elden Ring to get you started. Alternatively, there are now some $60-and-under Switch evergreen must-owns that ought to be growing in your collection. Lastly, if that stupidly popular Stellar Blade demo impressed you, preorder the full version at this less-than-RRP discount we can all get behind.
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 20th birthday of Pac-Man Vs., a rare GameCube gem developed by Shigeru Miyamoto. Packaged as a R: Racing Evolution bonus disc, it was an asymmetrical local multiplayer game that had 3 "ghost" players hunting a Pac-Man player. The twist: the spooks have a very limited sphere of vision, while the dot muncher (playing on a linked-up Gameboy Advance) has a full view of everything. Oh, and there's a Switch version of it in Namco Museum Arcade Pac.
