This Day in Gaming ?

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 13th birthday of Lollipop Chainsaw, a Suda51 cult-hit. Admittedly, it didn't garner much in the way of high scores, but I still recall it being the best game about a zombie-slaying cheerleader armed with a portable power tool and the disembodied head of her boyfriend... I've ever played. Had a whole buncha rock solid references to horror flicks and IRL musicians, too.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch

On Nintendo Switch, It Takes Two delivers emotional whiplash wrapped in joyful platforming. It was inspired by director Josef Fares' love–hate experiences with real relationships. Meanwhile, Hogwarts Legacy is worth revisiting not just for its wizarding wonder but because the devs spent months crafting a bespoke broom physics system that most players never even notice.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox

Over on Xbox, Tekken 8 comes swinging in with the return of Jun Kazama, a fan-favourite who hadn’t been playable since the 1990s. And The Witcher 3 Complete Edition isn't just a hefty RPG, it’s one that CD Projekt Red once accidentally spoiled via a dev note left in the code. Us diehards found it within days.
