Thank your own personal deity—possibly Odin—it’s Freyaday! Uh, I mean, Friday. That wordplay is topical, thanks to God of War Ragnarok launching on PC this morning. I’ve already put a bunch of hours into Valhalla mode, and it looks and plays phenomenally well. Discounts on it, and a bunch of other worthy purchases, await you below, my friend. Stay safe, save often, and see you Monday!
In retro news, I’m breaking out the fairy bread Jill sandwiches for the 22nd birthday of Resident Evil [remake] on GameCube. One of the first reduxings of its kind, this set the bar for what the modernisation of a game ought to be. I day-one adored it for a bunghole puckering One Dangerous Zombie mode, which only unlocked after clocking it twice with Chris and twice with Jill (!!!). The reward for my dedication: being hunted throughout Act 1 by a kamikaze Bomb Zombie (ex-S.T.A.R.S. officer Forest Speyer). Shoot or stab him, and the whole bloody mansion goes up. Game Over. Amazing.
