Every so often the bargain gods smile upon us, and today’s crop of bangers feels extra generous. I’m not talking filler discounts either, these are games that have eaten months of my life and still tempt me back for more. Consider this my excuse for a cheeky top-up on an already overloaded backlog.

This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m making this Flame Djinn ignite a 22-candle cake for Golden Sun: The Lost Age. TLA wasn’t just more of the same, it was a sprawling continuation that dared to demand we carry our precious save files over from the first game. On the Game Boy Advance, that felt pretty monumental, like a JRPG bridging two cartridges into one epic saga.
I remember launch week vividly, juggling link cables with friends to swap across our 28 Djinn and then debate which party build was best. This marvellous sequel took the series deeper into elemental puzzle-solving and layered combat, a kind of handheld alchemy that made the GBA feel like a powerhouse. Well worth a Switch buy.
Aussie birthdays for notable games.
