Prime Day might be over, but someone clearly forgot to tell the discounts. In a twist that’s as welcome as it is unexpected, a hefty stack of deals has survived the retail storm, with prices still slashed across Switch, Xbox, PlayStation and PC. Whether it’s leftovers from the main sale or publishers riding the hype wave a little longer, there are still some proper gems worth pouncing on.
This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 27th birthday of Point Blank, a PS One lightgun classic that’s tied to one of my fondest gaming memories. For those of you unfamiliar with it, Point Blank is basically a collection of carnival target mini-games that’s best played competitively with two players. Arguably the trickiest task is a sniper challenge with one bullet and a five second window to blast an object out of a distant figure’s hand. I’ll never forget the time when a mate of mine went full Billy the Kid and quick-drew a shot from his hip to nail said target in 0.5 of a second. Arsiest gaming feat I’ve ever witnessed.
Aussie birthdays for notable games.
– Point Blank (PS) 1998.
