I treat sales like a stress test for taste. When prices drop this hard, it becomes very easy to buy things you will never actually play, and much harder to spot the ones that’ll genuinely earn your time / attention / love. Let’s remove the guesswork. I’ve already put hours into these games, and this list comes from experience rather than impulse. Every one is worth a run (Gotham Knights maybe less so.)

This Day in Gaming 🎂
Today I’m celebrating the 26th birthday of The Sims. When this launched, I must confess that my first thought was, “Well, this is barely a game right here.” The Sims seemed more like a virtual fish tank that was only fun if I kept concocting new (and worryingly sociopathic) ways to torment the virtual peoples in my employ. Though this game and genre didn’t flick my switch straight away, personally, the lights clicked on and stayed burning bright for the many, many more of you. After 15 years this original sold a whopping 11.24M copies, so it absolutely deserves a place of honour in the PC gaming pantheon.
Aussie birthdays for notable games.
