Today’s all about PlayStation cutting loose and lopping prices in its Days of Play promotion. Aside from the obvious chops on current AAAs, the discount I’d steer you towards would be that 60% off Fallout 4 GOTY. Weirdly, PS folk missed out on the cheaper price of that during the “Fallout TV series” buzz season. So loot it now.
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 11th birthday of GRiD 2, a weirdly capitalised racer that nonetheless delivered. Codemasters popped the hood on this sequel and bolted in a new ‘TrueFeel’ handling system, hoping to hit the apex between realism and accessibility. Personally, I remember it having Bathurst DLC, lacking a cockpit view, veering more arcadey than I liked, and it featured pretty kick arse terminal damage crashes. Oh, and I also recall loving its literal Easter Egg—setting your date to Easter would prompt the narrator to ask you to not get chocolate on your steering wheel.
