Welcome to Wednesday, start of the homestretch into a weekend you should stock cheap games for. I’ve got a whole bunch of things worth squirreling away, too, like that Pandora’s Box of Borderlands titles, budget LEGO games on Switch, and more. Head sub-level to start the savings in earnest…

In retro news, I’m celebrating the 22nd bday of Alien Hominid, a Metal Slug-ish by the folks who would go on to craft Castle Crashers. Uploaded as a Flash browser game on the legendary multimedia website Newgrounds, Alien Hominid was one of the first notable indie darlings that really turned my head. It was tough as nails, great in two-player, and revitalised OG run ‘n’ gunning for a modern audience. Better yet, it sported a hilariously irreverent plot centred around a bunch of Fat Kids helping a homicidal E.T. stick it to the man/men in black, plus the KGB, to retrieve its ship. Worth a replay. Has aged remarkably well.
