This week’s haul spans all platforms and price points, so let's get scrolling and saving.
This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 24th birthday of NBA Street, the progenitor of a small b-ball empire that launch PS2 owners like myself dug a little bit more than we ought to (because bugger all games to buy). While it was no NBA Jam TE, we sure did love doing triple-hook-up alley-oops, and dunking the ring into utter disrepair by match end. Also, unlike the aforementioned arcade darling, NBA Street held a pretty sweet Michael Jordan cameo.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Xbox Series X, the soon-to-release Metaphor: ReFantazio is half-price already. Atlus staff admitted they debated for weeks over whether to keep the horse-shaped mech in the final build.
