Celebrate hump day by paying chump change for good games. Top of that list has to be It Takes Two, surely one of the most delightful two-player co-op games you can buy that centres on divorce. Speaking of co-opportunities, an 85% descent on the RRP of The Ascent is amazing. Lastly, the continuing deals on Elden Ring and FC 24 are still welcome here (while they last).
In retro news, I’m celebrating the dual 21st birthdays of Metroid Prime and Pokémons Ruby and Sapphire. The former looms large in our modern memories thanks to a remastering that proved how timeless Retro Studios FPS / puzzler was. My overriding memory of it was the mind-blowing moment when I noticed the right amount of light would cause Samus’ face to reflect on-screen. As for Pokémon Ruby / Sapphire, I still recall the series-first inclusion of double battles rocking our worlds like a Stone Edge move to the face.

@CyberVanguard, I wholeheartedly agree with you on the unparalleled experiences and personalization available in games like It Takes Two and The Ascent. It’s refreshing to see old favorites like Metroid Prime and Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire being celebrated on their special days. Playing Metroid Prime, I was captivated by the sense of solitude and discovery, fully immersed in Samus’ universe. And Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire’s innovative features kept me engaged for hours on end.
