Welcome to the first day of the holidays. Bored yet? I am, which is why I've scoured the stores for the best deals on the hottest games. The Fallout series is still the thing to replay, plus Hogwarts Legacy has gone halfy Potter on PS and PC. Awful wordplay aside, save often and do stay safe during these holidays.

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 13th birthday of Patapon 3, a PSP great and the highest point of an all-time franchise. Best described as a musical RPG where four-beat patterns and rhythmic button taps produce heroism, Patapon 3's catchy-arse songs still live rent free in my head over half a decade later.

This Day in Gaming

Aussie birthdays for notable games.

- R.C. Pro-Am (NES) 1988.

- Viewtiful Joe 2 (GC,Ps2) 2005.
