AU Deals: Big Cuts on Controllers, New Lows For Doom Dark Ages, Space Marine 2, Astro Bot, and More!
Clear some digital shelf space and maybe cancel a social plan or two, because there's a fresh drop of discounted gaming goodness covering everything from cosy indies to console-pushing blockbusters. Whether you're after a snazzy new controller, a cathartic shooter or a co-op crowd-pleaser, this Tuesday's roundup has something worth grabbing. And if you’re starting to feel the call of the codec, stick around. I'm about to reminisce about a jungle once favoured by a certain bandana-wearing legend.
This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I'm using this Naked Snake stogy to light a 15-candle cake for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, a PSP must-own. Set ten years after the events of MGS3, Peace Walker tells the story of a decidedly jaded Big Boss and his new mercenary group, Militaires Sans Frontières. Once again, Kojima and co. shook up the standard MGS formula by introducing mission-based gameplay, a style that would set the tone for future games in the series.
Missions and “Extra Ops” worked together to allow Snake to recruit members to his team, customise your personal stronghold, Mother Base, and even pair up with a friend for co-op takedowns of the game’s tougher enemies. I remember this as a triumph in portable gaming and for its freakin' awesome Monster Hunter bonus mission where I fought Rathalos, Tigrex, and Gear REX.

For Xbox Series X users, Remnant II delivers procedurally generated worlds that can produce entire quest lines and bosses unique to your save file. It has been hailed as "Dark Souls with guns", though the developers would argue it’s far stranger than that. Prefer something a little grittier?
