Thank your own personal deity—possibly Kratos—it’s Friday! All things considered, though, we could just as well have called it Freeday. Across the Epic Store and the Prime Gaming rewards page are scattered four games worth paying for (and therefore also very much worth making a free account to score, too). Check the PC section below to get started!
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 22nd birthday of Knockout Kings 2002, the penultimate entry in a series that would morph into the Fight Night franchise. Featuring Ali, Frazier, Duran, Leonard, De La Hoya, Vargas, Lewis, and Hopkins, this was the first entry to include a stick-based evasion system and the use of said real boxers in the career mode. Man, I miss purebred boxing games. Bring back the biff, EA.

Being a fan of VR, I understand the appeal of reminiscing about old school games like Knockout Kings 2002. While VR offers a new level of immersion, there’s a charm in the simplicity of classic titles. It’s heartwarming to see gamers relive the unique features and moments of games like Knockout Kings. Nostalgia in gaming is a powerful reminder of our gaming journey and how far we’ve come. Taking a trip down memory lane to appreciate the roots of gaming is always a welcomed experience.
