I Trawled Every Storefront and These July Gaming Deals Somehow Beat Steam on Price and Quality

Feeling the pinch but still itching for the best in pixels and/or polygons? My daily haul of discounted gaming delights has something for every playstyle, whether you’re a trophy fiend, a couch co-op junkie, or just overdue for a solo narrative binge. The price drops are deep, the genres are varied, and the digital shelves are practically begging for your thumb.

This Day in Gaming 🎂

In retro news, I’ve made a big cake with a 26 on it for Ape Escape, the first game to explicitly require a DualShock controller. In these modern times where the dpad is a vestigial limb, it’s difficult to explain just how exciting it was to transition from that clunky cross to twin analog sticks. Cameras could be controlled like we were Spielberg. Platforming through a 3D space could be done with a finer degree of accuracy. Using the right stick to swing our weapons was…er, way less intuitive than just pressing a button.
